Find happiness - whatever that is for you - and do so without fucking with other people's lives in a negative fashion.

Most people don't know what will make them happy. I remember absolutely dreading any time my parents wanted to drag us out to do something. Then sometimes I would end up enjoying it. Every single thing that I enjoy I had no idea I would enjoy it before I tried it.

Then there is the problem that you can be happy or unhappy with just about anything depending on your state of mind/perspective. So even if you follow happiness you can end up changing your mind, or losing interest, or becoming disillusioned and ending up miserable.

And most things that lead to long term success and happiness require some kind of hard work or sacrifice. In other words you need to do the things that make you miserable in order to eventually get a lot of value out of it later.

it's one of several problems with today's youth:
1. They want instant gratification. 2. They're all very lazy. 3. Most don't read.

So they have no idea about the world around them, as they're too lazy to read about it yet they all want instant pleasure from being immersed in demonic social media. The future of the planet is bleak, once these idiots get older and attain political power.
