Happiness Is A Condition That Must Be

I Think That Evolution Has Had A Hand In Selecting People Who Had A Sense Of Doing Something Beyond Themselves.

Most Of Us Become So Rigidly Fixed In The Ruts Carved Out By Genetic Programming And Social Conditioning That We Ignore The Options Of Choosing Any Other Course Of Action. Living Exclusively By Genetic And Social Instructions Is Fine As Long As Everything Goes Well. But The Moment Bioloical Or Social Goals Are Frustrated- Which In The Long Run Is Inevitable - A Person Must Formulate New Goals, And Create A New Flow Activity For Himself, Or Else He Will Always Waste His Energies In Inner Turmoil.

As Long As We Respond Predictably To What Feels Good And What Feels Bad, It Is Easy For Others To Exploit Our Preferences For Their Own Ends.

...perhaps The Most Distinguishing Trait Of Visionary Leaders Is That They Believe In A Goal That Benefits Not Only Themselves, But Others As Well. It Is Such Vision That Attracts The Psychic Energy Of Other People, And Makes Them Willing To Work Beyond The Call Of Duty For The Organization.

The Solution Is To Gradually Become Free Of Societal Rewards And Learn How To Substitute For Them Rewards That Are Under One's Own Powers. This Is Not To Say That We Should Abandon Every Goal Endorsed By Society; Rather, It Means That, In Addition To Or Instead Of The Goals Others Use To Bribe Us With, We Develop A Set Of Our Own.
