I have long since discovered that no one can tell another human being what being happy is, nor is there or will there ever be any prewritten route to happiness. The only thing another can do is tell you what makes them happy. I may say that wearing multi-colored toe socks is the route to happiness but if you do not agree and you say "Oh no, blue socks are the route to happiness", then that is your right. You decided what works for you, and please for yourself do not let anyone tell you what happiness is or let them sell you a route to happiness because that is a scam. Because the fact of the matter is that you have it, you have the route to your own happiness it is buried deep in your soul and no one can take it or do anything with it, without your permission. And also just because you don't like someone else's route doesn't mean you are a bad person, that just means you are a free thinker, if anyone tries to make you believe-otherwise then they do not have your best interest at heart.
So make your own route to happiness, only those who are extremely lazy and or ignorant of their own capabilities go off in look for those who claim to have the golden key. I do not claim perfection in this aspect as I myself have fallen for this on several occasions, however I always manage to pick myself up, dust off my jeans and start over again.
And I find that this is the problem with many of the religions today. Many of them have very "my way or they highway" type attitudes and these are they type of people and places you want to stay away from. These people are suppressive to you and your own creativeness. They wish to make you into a lower form of a being, one who cannot create or be themselves simply an indoctrinated fool who will believe whatever is asked of him or her without question. If you ever find yourself unable to question then you need to get out of that group or way of thinking.
Okay, so back on topic, sorry for the rant.
In many religions it is you do step A, B, C, and D and if you don't or you mix them up then your in big trouble buddy. Big trouble, and soon you will have some poor soul come up to you screaming saying that if you don't go back to believing the same way there will be fire and brimstone and you will be sent to some awful place some people call hell.
Well, now this is all okay if that is your belief but the main thing, the big picture here is that you absolutely must allow yourself and others to decided what their route to happiness is. If you give them that then a man or woman can live very happy life's and thus there will be less crime and more happiness and acceptance in this world.
People have a right to make their own route to happiness as well as apply that route once they have formed it as long as they are not harming anyone.
This is an example of my route to happiness however I would like all of you out there reading this blog right now to take out a pen and some paper and write down your route to happiness.
~~~~ My Route To Happiness~~~~
Always accept yourself, never put yourself down.
Be your own best friend, how can you be anyones friend if you don't like yourself?
Try your best to always keep a positive outlook on life, things are never as bad as they seem.
Keep your promises, you keep more friends that way.
Dream big, the bigger your dreams the bigger your reality.
Forgive those who harm you, because forgiving someone takes more strength that anything.
Realize that all people are basically good no matter what.
Stay drug free, even if the drug dealers have a degree they are still drug dealers.
Eat well and Sleep well, you will feel better if you do.
Always make sure you have clean communication with another person, this way you don't find yourself repeating things and getting upset.
Never build a wall around yourself, people want to know you.
Be open to all possibilities even if you dislike them.
I'm sure there are many more for me but it is getting late and I need some sleep.
Goodnight everyone
