A person who is not
used to luxury, but who acquired luxury quite by chance, often pretends, in
order to become more important in his own eyes and in the eyes of other people,
that luxury is natural for him, that he is not surprised by it, that he
neglects it. In the same way a stupid person pretends that he is bored with
life, and that he can find something more interesting.
The joy of your spirit is the indication of your strength.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
You must believe in
the possibility of happiness in order to be happy.
Take from a person
who follows the divine law everything which other people think of as comfort and
wealth, and nevertheless such a person will remain happy.
A person who has
spoiled his stomach will criticize his meals saying that the food is bad; the same
thing happens with people who are not satisfied with their lives in this world.
We do not have the
right to be unhappy with our life. If it seems to us that we are not satisfied
with life, we should see this as a reason to be unsatisfied with ourselves.
