some people are unhappy. they are stuck down in an "unhappy" rut, unable to veer out over the banks on the right or left, to where happiness is. there is one very peculiar thing common to all such people. they can tell you all about their unhappiness: the people who are making them unhappy, and the unfair situations into which they are thrust against their wishes. sometimes, when such people are on a roll telling about their unhappiness, it's hard to shut them up. but, the thing that is peculiar is that, if you were to ask them to describe what happiness, for them, looks like, they are unable to. either they make unrealistic, childish statements "Well, first of all everybody would just leave me alone!", or they fantasize "I would be living in a houseboat on a canal in Amsterdam...", or they just refuse to answer altogether. if such a person is able to become conscious enough, they will experience a profound realization: that they do not know what happiness for them looks like!
The solution is easy: such a person must sit down and write exactly what happiness for them would look like: real and realistic thoughts regarding their school, family, friends, work, health, spirituality, place in society, goals and methods for achieving them, etc.
Only when a person has done this in a serious and thoughtful way, can she begin to learn and grow to be happy.
