"For people who believe that true happines is an unobtainable goal, it is not the idea that happiness does not exsist, it is the illusion that they fall into where they believe happiness is supposed to last every second of the day, for the entirety of their lives. In order feel truly happy we have to experience true sadness, or how would we recognize the two?"

If you want something, you have to go out and get it for yourself. You have to take all the opportunities that you get and not think twice about what you are doing. Don't wait for something to happen, go out and make something happen.

If you encounter someone who cannot be swayed from his opinion on a matter, no matter the evidence, don't waste any further mental effort on him-- do not even waste time being baffled by his spectacular immunity to reality. Banish him from your mind completely and move on. His mental dead weight will only drag you down.
