Yeah, i agree. If you want to be happy, make yourself a person you can be happy with. Make yourself able to react to variable conditions in a way that makes you happy. Yeah, sure, if you get shit piled on you all the time, your gonna feel a little less happy, but if you can just make the best of it and don't let it ruin you, you can take pride in that.
Don't think you need to be perfect, just make yourself a person who is able to improve and doesnt get caught up in what they think their doing wrong. If you think you screwed up, think about what went wrong and what you can change about yourself to improve. If you know you can always try to improve, than what goes wrong doesnt matter anymore.
I don't mean to force my opinions on anyone, but honestly, i don't think religion is the answer to happiness, i think its just one way you can be happy (if a sort of plastic way.) I think you will be the most happy if you just look at reality and dont try to apply some misleading analogy too it, unless you understand the purpose of religion. Religion is just that, an analogy that helps people follow certain morals. Dont you think that if you understand that, you dont need something like religion? Unless you just like analogies, but whatever.
Yeah being perpetually happy is good, and once you get in the right mindset (able to self criticize and improve, etc.)
there's nothing to it.
