"There are three gates leading to this hell — lust, anger and greed. Every sane man should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul." - Bhagavad Gita

There's a great movie about happiness on Netflix that I'd recommend: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1613092/

Ironically, some of the happiest people are the poorest. Wealth is a weak indicator of happiness.

I have lived with these people though. I have been there. It is awesome. It makes me really happy. I don't know why I want more. I think it has to do with my parent's narcissism.

They expect the world of me, and I intent to bring it.
