Art, your method of thinking is bothering me. It's as if you've run out of patience for people who hold different opinions than yours and are just like, "Will you just drop your point so we all can live in peace?"
I'm afraid happiness is not obtained by surrendering your will for the sake of stability. Humans will always fight for what they believe. There will always be unrest.
To give up your ego is not noble. It parallels the concept of learned futility. That's when an animal struggles until it realizes it cannot win, and just lays down and submits to the punishment. We see dogs chained to posts, their heads resting on the ground between their paws. Awww... how cute and pathetic.
That's not gonna be me.
