Initially people around you may tell you that you are in a 'denial' that is why you stay happy all the time, will bring you the real devastating and heart sickening facts of the world. But the fact is, they are ignorant of this blissful and powerful state. Staying alert and knowing whats going around --- doesn't mean that you should feel depressive. Infact one should counter the negativity by being positive and making REAL efforts in bringing change. I would sum up: When I began to choose to suffer less, I suffered less! It was all to do with the way I looked at things. Reduce the drama in your life and the suffering disappears Happiness is a simple, drama free, life!!
