Are You Happy?

When someone asks you if you are happy, your response could either be ironic or philosophical, but deep inside your heart you know that you are not as happy as you wish you were...

You may think that you are very happy on weekends and holidays and never again think about this matter. You may say that you are very happy, and thank everyone a lot for their concern when they ask you so, but are you really satisfied with your life? Your personality? The world where you live?

Perhaps your answer to this question may be straightforward and you may say that you are not happy at all. You are depressed and you don't believe in happiness.

The answers to the same question vary a lot according to everyone's experiences and character.

Is there a map that anyone could follow to ensure the achievement of happiness? Is happiness a treasure that anyone can find? Will it last forever? Will it be real and wonderful?

I have been a philosopher and writer since I was 7. I have tried to find the answer to these questions since the time I started to think and write. I would write my thoughts and compare them as time passed.

My poetry was special; I won many prizes. Everyone who knew me was aware that I was an excellent writer. When my works were part of any competition, they always received the first prize. Once, I even won a car, when I wrote a small story for a magazine, only because a friend had asked me to. I wrote it on the last day (even though the competition had permitted 2 months to write it) because I didn't like the subject and I was studying for exams at the University during that time. However, my friend called me up asking if I had written it on the last day of submission, and I could not refuse. So, I wrote it in half an hour and it was the best one, a real work of art!

My teachers and the rest of my college admired my writing, and I was sure that I would someday be a great writer, and perhaps win the Nobel Prize in literature. This was my dream, and it did not appear impossible. I wanted to see my books translated in all existent languages...

However, my destiny was completely different from what I had imagined it to be. Instead of being a writer, I became a psychologist because I pursued the hidden meaning of my own literature. I received magical inspiration from the unconscious that produces our dreams and regulates the functioning of our body. The unconscious is wise and saintly and it tries to save the conscience from the attacks of the wild side of the conscience (anti-conscience), which is very violent and evil and tries to destroy our conscience through craziness.

I interpreted the mysterious meaning of my own literature just as we interpret dreams. I discovered the big illusion of human existence, our anti-conscience, which is demoniac and too powerful. This is our primitive, animal conscience, which can think but is totally insensitive. It is a wild beast that belongs to us, and is part of our personality.

This discovery made me abandon my ideals of fame and glory and strive for humility instead, because I clearly saw the signs of schizophrenia reflected in my own literature. I had the characteristics of a dictator who wanted to impose her selfish desires on everyone.

The unconscious revealed several things, including the fact that we can find true happiness after completely developing our conscience and eliminating all mental illnesses.

If you completely develop your human conscience, you can eliminate your anti-conscience and become a genius because you are not using the biggest fraction of your conscience, since it belongs to your primitive conscience. This is the anti-conscience that has to be transformed into the conscience: you cannot kill it, because it is a part of you.

There is really a map by which you can find real happiness, and this is the scientific method of dream interpretation. By following this method of dream interpretation, you can transform the monster into a conscious part of yourself and you'll then be able to use this part of your conscience, which will make you far more intelligent than what you are now that you are using only a tiny part of your conscience.

In order to be happy, you need mental health and wisdom.

If you are wise, your happiness doesn't depend on your external reality, because you have inner peace. Further, if you are wise, you do everything perfectly and you always have the best results in your daily reality as well. You don't make any mistakes or waste your time with what is not good for you.

Therefore, when someone asks you if you are happy, you will say that you are always happy with yourself because you recognize all the good things that you have, but that you are always sad because not everybody in this world can be happy like you.

You must have a burning desire to help everyone find happiness, since everyone requires it very much. Only then will you be able to say that you are completely happy. Your happiness should not be the selfish and absurd kind: it will be a healthy happiness that will not be threatened by any danger.
