Happiness　幸福九部曲

◎ Christina Sponias


Step 1
Everyone wants to be happy, but happiness depends on many factors.
Many people believe that money brings happiness, because if they can pay and fulfill all their desires they imagine that they will be happy forever. However, money is only a facility. It cannot buy health, love and peace.
If you are sick, alone, in a war, dominated by craziness and despair, money cannot save you. It can help you find famed doctors, or paid lovers, or a false peace based on the threat of weapons, but everything you can get by paying is only an illusion. You need much more in order to feel really satisfied.
Step 2
If you want to be really happy forever you have to change the world, bringing peace, abundance and happiness to Earth, besides helping humanity cultivate love, patience, goodness and humility in its heart. You have to put an end to craziness, terrorism and despair. If you cannot transform everything, you will never be completely happy.
Step 3
So, you have either to accept to live in a crazy world full of violence and absurdity, trying to be happy on your “personal island”, where only your family and your friends have importance for you, or you have to transform this crazy world into a place where everyone will have the chance to be happy, otherwise you will never be really happy too.
Step 4
This is a selfish thought, but I know that you are very selfish from birth—this is why I’m explaining the truth to you in terms you can understand. You would never care for the world’s pain if it didn’t affect you. I notice that each time I write an article about general happiness and the necessity to change the world so that everyone will at least have the basic conditions of life besides many things more, only a few people read my articles. However, when I give lessons about their personal lives and how they can overcome their problems, those articles are the most often viewed. Yes, nobody cares for the entire world. Nobody really cares for humanity.
Step 5
Everyone only wants to live well, without working and only having fun. This is the ideal scenario, even though they know that things cannot be this way and they get adapted to the reality of their lives. However, their philosophy of life is the above mentioned, without a doubt. You probably are not an exception... Are you?
Step 6
I really hope that you are, because some people are exceptions, even though they are quite rare. You will find one sensitive person that cares for the well being of the entire world, among billions and billions of alienated creatures that care only about their personal lives... However, the truth is that the desire to be happy in such world the way it is now, with so many horrors, is in fact a crazy desire.
Step 7
Don’t you agree that only crazy creatures would try to be happy in a place where violence, terrorism, immorality, hypocrisy, poverty and other horrors exist? I’m sure you do, if you are sensible. But you don’t know how to change the crazy world, and you have no power...
Step 8
At this point you need a miracle. And only because the miracle does exist, have I started explaining the truth in this way, otherwise I would not start showing you how absurd it is to want to be happy in a place where craziness prevails, because I would have to abandon you totally disappointed at the end of this article, while my intention is to help you solve your problems.
The miracle is inside you and sends you dreams with warnings, lessons and free psychotherapy everyday. It is the wise and saintly unconscious mind, that tries to save the human side of your conscience from the wild, primitive side that is responsible for the existence of craziness in the human mind.
Step 9
If you follow the guidance you receive in your dreams, the unconscious mind will show you how you can transform your psyche, develop your personality and become a self-confident genius, so that you may be able to solve all the problems of the world, not only thanks to your intelligence, but thanks to your sensitivity and the superiority of your spirit.


第一步
每個人都想幸福，但幸福源于很多因素。
許多人相信金錢會帶來幸福，因為如果他們可以用錢滿足他們所有的欲望，他們就以為自己會永遠幸福。然而，金錢只是一種工具。它買不來健康，愛和安寧。
假如你患病，孤獨一人，或身處戰(zhàn)爭，瘋狂和絕望占據(jù)著你的靈魂，金錢拯救不了你。金錢可以幫助你聘請到著名的醫(yī)生，或者買來情人，或利用武器威脅換取虛假的和平，但是所有用金錢買到的東西都只是一種幻覺。要想真正滿足還需要更多。
第二步
如果你想永遠獲得真正的幸福，你就要改變世界，給地球帶來安寧、富足和幸福，還要幫助人類從內(nèi)心孕育愛、耐心、善良和謙卑的心。你必須杜絕瘋狂、恐怖與絕望。如果你什么都不能改變，你不會獲得完整的幸福。
第三步
因此，你或者無奈地接受在充滿暴力與荒謬的瘋狂世界里生活，試著在屬于你的天地中尋求幸福，在這片天地中，只有你的家人和朋友對你重要，或者你必須將這個紛亂的世界改變?yōu)楹推街?，每個人都有幸福的機會，否則你絕不會獲得真正的幸福。
第四步
這是自私的想法，但是我知道你生來就非常自私——這就是為什么我以你能理解的方式解釋真理。如果影響不到你，你決不會關(guān)心世界的痛苦。我注意到，每當我寫關(guān)于總體幸福感和改變世界的文章，為了使每個人至少能擁有生存的基本條件，盡管還有更多，但只有那么幾個人來讀我的文章。然而，當我教授涉及他們個人生活，以及如何克服困難的課程時，這些題材的文章卻最受關(guān)注。對，沒人關(guān)心整個世界。沒人真正關(guān)心人類。
第五步
每個人都只想活得好好的，不用工作，只貪圖享樂。這是理想的描述，即使他們知道事情不會這樣，他們已經(jīng)適應(yīng)了生活現(xiàn)實。然而，他們的生活哲學(xué)就是追求上述狀態(tài)，這一點毋庸置疑。你可能也不例外……是嗎？
第六步
我真希望你是個例外，因為有些人就是例外，即使數(shù)量很少。在數(shù)億個只關(guān)心個人生活的冷漠生物中，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個關(guān)心全世界的性情中人……然而，事實是，在這個世界上，對快樂的追求卻伴隨著太多的畏懼，這實際上是一個瘋狂的愿望。
第七步
難道你不覺得，只有瘋子才會在充滿暴力、恐怖主義、不道德、偽善、貧困和其他恐懼的世界里，試圖追逐幸福？如果你明智的話，你肯定會同意我的看法。但是你不知道如何改變這瘋狂的世界，你力不從心……
第八步
此刻，你需要奇跡出現(xiàn)。只是因為奇跡的確存在，我已經(jīng)開始以這種方式解釋真理了，否則我不會開始向你表明，在這個瘋狂盛行的世界中，追求幸福是多么荒唐的事情啊，因為在文章結(jié)束的時候，我會讓你感到完全失望，盡管我想幫你解決問題。
奇跡就在你的心中，奇跡每天都會以警告、教訓(xùn)和免費心理治療的方式給你帶來夢想。奇跡就是明智圣潔的潛意識，它試圖拯救你人性中的良知，使其從導(dǎo)致人類瘋狂的野蠻與原始的一面中解救出來。
第九步
如果你追隨夢中所接收的指引，潛意識將會引領(lǐng)你改變你的內(nèi)心世界，發(fā)展你的個性，成為自信的天才，從而讓你能夠解決世間的所有問題，不僅源于你的智慧，也源于你心靈的敏感與精神的超越。
