The Unhappy Majority

THE UNHAPPY MAJORITY

Unfortunately, for many of us, we spend much of our days following and
doing what we have come to believe we need to do, rather than what
truly excites us and what would, for that very reason, end up bringing us
the joy we seek.

Can we truly expect to experience enormous joy and happiness in our
lives if the first concern we have in the morning upon wakening is to be
on time to a job that does not bring us joy and excitement?
If seventy percent of our days are filled with activities that do not bring
us joy, excitement and love, then the remaining thirty- percent cannot
compensate for that. All the seminars, books, meditation, and
affirmations are not going to help.

Yet the more time we spend doing things that do not truly bring us joy
and excitement, the more money we spend on other things trying to
compensate for our growing unhappiness, and this ends up bringing us
more debt. So the end result is that we are tied even more into working
at what we dislike. It is a self-defeating circle.

Have you ever been in a room with many unhappy people? How did it
feel in there? Now imagine what billions of unhappy people are doing to
the world. Unfortunately we have become so accustomed to this energy
that we don't even notice it anymore. It's as thick as molasses
everywhere with the exception of a few pockets of joy now and then.

What we fail to understand is when we have billions of people doing
things that they do not want to do, it creates unhappiness, That
unhappiness creates a collective energy that goes into the environment
and causes more damage to the environment than everything else
combined. It is like anger causing an ulcer. The anger created the ulcer
and people's sadness creates the negative result in the environment.

There are many people concerned about the environment of the planet.
They want to save the rivers, oceans and the forest. While that may be
commendable, I can tell you that the energy from so many unhappy
people on this planet is what is poisoning the environment more than
everything else combined.

We will not solve our environmental problems until we solve the sad
energy problem. What we don't realize is that our physical
environmental problems are created from the negative energy that
comes from billions of unhappy people. Instead of trying to clean up the
environment, we need to clean up the thinking and unhappiness of the
people who are cause of our environmental problems.
