    Drugs, get into them
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    The secret to happiness is contentment. So if you can't get something, then try not to want it, and you'll be happy.

    Compare unhappiness to the times you were truly happy, not that bad a deal, you are never really sad or really happy. Also a bit much to ask to be happy all the time. happens.

    Stop thinking, it's that simple. I used to get far too much into thinking for my own good, now I just stop myself if I catch myself doing it. I swear learning to turn your brain off is the key to hapiness.

    A faux-happiness embraced within a silent intellectual. It's an option, perhaps...

    I find that sometimes I am happy being sad. Perhaps this is just self-loathing or the subconcious pleasure in feeling sorry for yourself. What is truly needed to make oneself happy is to find a reason, it need not be great, perhaps waking up in the morning or brushing ones teeth. Ah, a cold winters sunrise and fresh breath, I am so happy this moment!

    Really, life is great when you don't let the gravity of pessimism pull you down. Everybody's life sucks, but small things can lift you up if you apreciate them. Anything random, the smile of a nice girl or a friendly conversation when paying your bread. Mankind doesn't exist to be happy, just go with the flow and pick up the crumbs.

    In other words meditation is the key to happiness.

    No! People are not meant to mope around thinking all day. You need to have more balance, live the way we are designed for. Like with how excerise makes you feel better. No philosophy needed.

    ... is overrated. It doesn't persist, and makes apparent it's opposite. Same with it's opposite. The fulcrum is contentment.
    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    Everyone loves being miserable. It gives them an excuse to talk about themselves.

    Exercise is great for your confidence and happiness, get's you feeling good about yourself. Go do a bunch of chin-ups.
