A realization...
A realization I had come to a while ago, listening to one of my yoga instructors.
Anyone who is weak minded can be a manipulative liar... anyone who is weak minded can take advantage of others for their own benifit. Anyone who is weak minded and selfish can fuck people over... Any fool can be depressed the world is a fucked up place everyone has been fucked in one way or another and anyone can feel hatred and anger.
However it takes a truly strong willed person to push aside all the negativity in the world and see something beautiful in it (which is way more difficult to do than to focus on the negative aspects) Things are fucked up in the world we all know this... but it takes a beautiful and strong willed person to be truly good and truly happy. In the end the only thing that truly matters is happiness. If one can achieve happiness in a world of negativity I think that they are the wise ones. I've heard people say that only fools are happy. But why waste your time being unhappy and depressed, isn't it smarter to just be happy? Besides that it is much harder to be happy than it is to be sad, it takes someone with real brains to be happy.
