There is a fundamental misconception, in human beings
and that misconception is this: they believe that the
world has the ability to make them happy but this is
being withheld from them. And they regard that as a
personal insult by life. Why is life witholding happiness
from me? Why all the things always happen to me?

Because it's not happing to the others, you read their
facebook posts and they're all happy. They're eating
meals, you see pictures of meals. Look I'm eating this.
Oh Okay and then you see their happy faces and not only
are they happy they're are also good-looking.
Everybody's good-looking. That's the technology of filters
and stuff.

But of course the misconception is that the world is here
to make you happy and it can't do that. It's not here
to make you happy it's here to make you conscious, to
awaken you.
