People And Things Do Not Upset Us.

Happiness Is Experienced Largely In Striving Towards A Goal, Not In Having Attained Things, Because Our Nature Is Always To Want To Go On To The Next Endeavor.

People Have Motives And Thoughts Of Which They Are Unaware.

People Are Terrified Of Other People Or Difficult Projects Because They Tell Themselves That They Could Fail Or Be Rejected. Failure Can Lead To Sorrow, Regret, Frustration And Annoyance - All Healthy, Negative Feelings Without Which People Couldn't Exist. But Then They Add, "i Absolutely Must Succeed And Must Be Loved By Significant Persons, And If I Don't, It's Terrible And I'm No Good." Those Are Irrational Beliefs. As Long As People Keep Them, They'll Be Terrified Of Life And Will Put Themselves Down When They Get Rejected.

We'd Better Work Hard On Getting Rid Of That Must - Other People Must Do What I Want Them To Do!" It's What Makes People Hostile, Nasty, Mean And Combative, And It Leads To Feuds, Wars And Genocide. We'd Better Do Something About That.

As A Matter Of Fact, As A Result Of My Philosophy, I Wasn't Even Upset About Hitler. I Was Willing To Go To War To Knock Him Off, But I Didn't Hate Him. I Hated What He Was Doing.
