Is it fair that people who have committed terrible crimes are able to be happy?

I would suggest that s/he studies the Parables of the Rich Fool, Jesus and the Rich Young Man, The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. S/he should then come to the self-evident truth that one day, they will die and leave all that wealth behind. The question that they must ask is what legacy do they want to leave behind? In addition, should the Parable of the Rich and Lazarus be true after death, what would they do differently from that rich man? Happiness requires freedom but we attach ourselves to the material things that we accumulate, it becomes worst if we do it at the expense of others. When you leave your wealth behind, it becomes up to others to do whatever they want to do with it, the only set of instructions that survive you is your will but that too is subject to human justice and greed. What you leave behind could become a source of problems just as it has always been. With that in mind, I would encourage the rich person to use their wealth to help those in need but only those who deserved to be helped, but not those who simply want to be helped without making their own personal effort. I will suggest that they set aside a small portion of their wealth that will allow them to live a decent life while they are still on earth and then invest the rest in building a more just society for all. This could be by mentoring young entrepreneurs and funding ventures that will positively impact human beings. I will suggest that they start measuring their success, not in terms of how much money they made or make, but how many people find fulfillment and happiness as the result of their actions. I will also suggest that they live as if every day is their last day on earth because eventually one of those days will be the one. I will suggest that they learn about life in general and its purpose, Creation, and the Laws of Creation and adjust their life accordingly. In addition, would suggest that they learn the true purpose of wealth for all human beings. They will understand that being in the position of greater wealth could be a blessing or a curse depending on what one does with it. I will suggest that they learn to understand that if they were given all the wealth of this earth but left alone on earth without other fellow human beings, they will not be able to enjoy that wealth. This will hopefully help them realize that true value is with other human beings and not wealth itself. I will also suggest that they email me at revelationsandwonders@gmail.com with personal questions that they may have. I will encourage them to subscribe to Happiness | Revelations & Wonders where they can learn more about Happiness, Purpose, Fulfillment, and Life.

Whoever said this only demonstrates their immature and superficial attempt to play with words. In simple terms, this expression means "only grateful individuals are happy" . Because something sounds good doesn't necessarily make it true. Babies and children are generally happy, does that mean they are grateful too? What do they even know about being thankful or grateful? I don't think anyone can deny the fact that children are human beings like anyone else, and that, generally speaking, they are not thankful yet they are genuinely happy. Being thankful is one way of expressing gratitude. Gratitude itself is a sign of wisdom which is a result of lessons from living fully the experiences that life unfolds before you. Real wisdom and humility go hand and hand because a wise person is someone who understands the greatest lesson from their own wisdom: “What they know is insignificant compared to what is there to learn”. That is why wise individuals are generally quietly humble and they are thankful for any additional drop of pure knowledge that life brings to them as a gift. A wise person experiences life fully with an absolute conviction in the simple fact that everything that happens to them is done with Love and Justice. This alone removes any possibility of experiencing low-level feeling such as envy, hatred, anger, and so on. A person who reaches this level of wisdom is nothing but an embodied living gratitude themselves. Someone who is genuinely grateful lives to give not to take because they truly become a mediator of what life offers in abundance. They know that they are too small to contain everything that life has to offer therefore giving becomes the only way to further growth, expansion, and eternal renewal that guarantees freshness or life itself. This type of individual gives in silence. Just their presence alone is powerful enough to influence their surroundings. This is why many people feel something uniquely great and powerful when they find themselves in the same room with a person full of wisdom. Those capable of following and understanding these explanations will easily understand that, in all truthfulness, Happiness is not a static state but a consequence of a constant movement between giving and getting that unfolds at a higher frequency that seems like it is static. It is like the blades of a helicopter that rotates so fast that sometimes they give the impression of being static or even rotating slowly backward. The natural exchange between giving and getting is what I constantly refer to as “The Natural Flow of Happiness”.

The good thing is that you know what it means to be happy since you said: “I haven’t been genuinely happy for so long…” . The unfortunate part is that this reply alone may not be enough but I am sure it would guide you in the right direction. Below are a few things that you can do. Remember that time . Try to remember the last time that you were genuinely happy. Think about the conditions, the type of people you were surrounded by, what you were doing, what you really enjoyed, etc… and try your best to create those conditions in your current life. Happiness is personal and a matter of choice. No one can make you happy. I believe that happiness flows inside out and all external things can only bring either joy or misery. Joy will elevate your level of happiness while misery will debase it. Use your free will to only chose or associate with things or people who bring joy to you and avoid anything else like a plague. Your happiness depends on this separation, so be absolutely serious. Get to know yourself. If someone were to ask you or if you were to ask yourself the question “Who are you?” or “Who am I?”, what would be your answer? Most people tend to respond by identifying themselves with their job or job title, but you are more than just a job title. Please note that when you answer that question, you will more likely start by saying “I am …”. Take a pen and a paper, write down a set of “ I am Statements” that describe you in terms of values, qualities, principles, or social status. Such statements could be like “I am honest”, “I am courageous”, “I am a good friend”, “I am an excellent Nurse”, “I am a leader”, etc… The easiest way to go about writing these statements is to imagine your best self and then describe that vision of yourself in terms of “I am statements”. Once you do this, go through them every day, change and adjust as necessary. Seek Alignment: Your thoughts, your words, and your actions must be in alignment with who you claim to be in your “I am statements”. If you believe you are respectful, you should not engage is insulting, cursing, or disrespectful in your thoughts, words, or actions. The easiest way to implement this lifestyle is to follow my advice # 2 by only associating with people who bring joy to you, people you respect and who respect you, people who add value to your life. Happiness requires Balance. In this Creation, Balance is what maintains peace and harmony as the foundation for happiness. Seek balance is everything that you do and remember that You Must Always Give First Before You Get , in other words, only the fulfillment of the duty of giving guarantees your right to get. You’ve heard the expressions such as, you reap what you sow, or Karmic Law, etc… Notice that balance between breathing out and then breathing in is what maintains us alive. If you want a lot of oxygen in your lungs, you must empty them first to create room for it. Be Patient. Nothing that grows strong does so overnight. You must be patient with yourself and forget instant gratification thinking by expecting to fully experience happy overnight. The best advice I can give you about how to be patient is to only focus on your intends and learn to be satisfied with your efforts. Celebrate small victories and build upon them, before you know its magic will be unfolding before you. The best thing about time is that no one manufactures it, it is free, you can always use it as an ally and as much as necessary. Experience Life. Experience is your best teacher, follow your passion but just make sure that you don’t do so at the expense of others. Don’t lie, steal, mislead, abuse, hurt, and intentionally create pain onto others. Read inspirational books, listen to inspirational audiobooks, travel the world, meet new people to see how beautiful this earth truly is, and that will humble you to the point where no word will be good enough express your gratitude toward the Almighty God for allowing us to consciously experience so much joy and happiness. I really hope that this will be enough to get you going. If you want you can share it with anyone else who may benefit from this.
