Human Mind is Weak

Being optimistic is of course a strength and one of the key ingredients for survival. 

But few of us realize how weak human mind really is. If human mind really is strong, then everybody must have been very happy with their lives. Because happiness is what everybody is after, it is the most important quest in everybody's life.

But what we see everyday is quite the opposite. 

The 'best' of human minds tell us their secret of their successes. But how many of us become success after doing all we can to follow their advice? And more importantly, how many of us are happy after followijg their advice? We could even question, are these 'best' minds themselves happy?

Do things that they own make them or people like them, in present as well as in the past, happy?

And we can ask more fundamental questions:

What defines happiness?

What are proof that a Person live a happy life?

What are the characteristics of happy persons?

Are our understandings about the answers to these questions really logical?

These questions we have to find the true answers, if we really want to be happy in life in its true meaning.
