There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comfort of life, one becomes happy while the other becomes unhappy. This difference comes from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things, the pleasant parts of a conversation, the well prepared dishes, for example. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. So, they’re always dissatisfied. They cannot feel the pleasure of society, they hurt other people, and they make themselves unpopular everywhere. Their intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation, but it gradually grows into a bad habit as time goes on.
Though being unhappy is most probably an act of imagination, it has serious results in life, for it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. The unhappy ones hurt many people; nobody will love them, and nobody will treat them with basic politeness and respect. When they need some advantages in social position or fortune, no one will wish them success.
In order to help the unhappy ones, it is strongly suggested that they should change their bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and the others. If they do it, it will be good for both themselves and the others, and bright life will definitely smile at them some day.
