Rating: 8/10

Have you ever achieved your life goals? Are you satisfied with yourself? Are you happy? If you can answer any of those questions, you can see that there are a lot of people in the world who are satisfied with themselves and enjoy happiness. Then, do you know how many people are oppressed and suffering in the world? The world is full of pain and misery, but the world around us is quiet. People that are happy can be completely happy and peaceful because those who are not, remain silent. 

I would also have hurt people around me in pursuit of my happiness. The problem is that even though I didn't even decide to hurt anyone, I did without knowing it. Happiness and misfortune are so close to each other. We must remember that there is always misfortune behind happiness and that I can be at any side. Therefore, everyone should always think that they are on the border line, should not be peaceful, and not put themselves to sleep.

“Happiness does not exist, nor should it, and if there is any meaning or purpose in life, they are not in our peddling little happiness, but in something reasonable and grand. Do good!”
