Living, most of us try to do the right thing: abide by the law, respect others. However, being good people does not keep us harmless. We still can fall victim to the wrongdoings of others. When that happens, some of us break and resort to violent behavioral patterns themselves. Still, others find the strength to forgive and move on. We can either replicate or learn from the evil to never allow it to happen again.

We all try to make things right, reflecting our strive for bringing order into our lives. However, chaos is always there as well. It breeds just about any possibility to do good and evil. When we realize being equally capable of both, we get scared, skeptical, and even disgusted by what we are. No wonder no one rushes to cure themselves on tentative signs of illness.
People love their pets more than themselves. First of all, spell out who you are. It is not given to us. We need to make ourselves. Refine your personality. Start now by treating yourself like someone you are responsible for.

Happiness is a nearly ephemeral occurrence that signifies our high peaks in life instead of the periods when we are not doing our absolute best. In reality, we long for order, which means arranging our internal and external worlds to make them known and understandable. We want to bring everything possible to escape the chaos. The latter is a mighty terrain where innumerable anxieties, as well as possibilities, smolder.

Analyze your life to elicit what you are doing wrong. Using your good judgment and willpower, stop doing it today. You need to conduct an audience by yourself and stop blaming others (the government, God, your boss, etc.) for everything that went awry in your life. Hewing away self-destructive behaviors we become stronger and get to see clearer into the future.

Step aside and try to reevaluate your current presuppositions. You might realize that holding on to them will not make you the person you are supposed to be. Sort the meaningful from the habitual, yet harmful. Indeed, our lives involve a lot of suffering that comes upon realizing our vulnerability and mortality, in general. Many of us postpone the pleasure of living today for the sake of preparing for the future. If that seems meaningful for you, then pursue it.

There are many things to be thankful for each day. As the day ends, try to enlist everything good that took place: a tasty cup of coffee, a cute animal you petted on the street, a polite shop assistant, etc. When you try to concentrate on the positive ones, you will see that they outweigh the nuisances. This revelation will help you preserve the strength you carry in you. Make good things happen. Pet a cat when you see one on the street.

There is still a kind of suffering — suffering for the sake of suffering. Many people even derive immense pleasure in this self-inflicted torture. Why? We tend to choose suffering over strength when we are reluctant to resolve complicated life situations. With time, our brain gets used to chemical and hormonal bombs and tells our body that suffering is the only emotion it wants to experience.
