Happiness Principle #8:
Fighting the Bad Does Not Create Happiness
There’s something about mass consciousness that lures us into believing that in order to be happy we have “fight” what is wrong with us. We fight a cold, we battle our weight, we go to war with our illnesses, and we attempt to control our brains by fighting off negative thoughts and thinking only good thoughts. Yet despite this tendency to battle life, we all know deep within our hearts that love is always the answer. It’s not always the quick and easy answer, and it can be difficult to bring love into a frightful situation, but love really does heal all wounds. Love is the joy that you are. Next time you are tempted to fight the good fight, decide differently.
