Thoughts on Happiness by Colin Leonard Holmes

When someone says “you're ugly” or “you're pretty”, its only their opinion, not the truth. The truth is that you are, you exist. Any label attached to your being is an illusion created by the ego mind and with that comes judgment and fear and meaning. When someone asks “what does that mean” that person is not aware that it means only what s/he make it mean. Does that make everything meaningless? No. The trick is to accept others as they are simply because that’s who they are. We may not like someone or even hate someone, but if we don’t accept them and let go of our emotional attachment to that person we will never be free because we believe our thoughts are true and don’t realize that they’re just our thoughts and therefore not the actual truth. The illusion of our ego mind keeps us from being free. Accepting, forgiving and loving yourself and others is the key to true freedom, happiness and inner peace. This is only my opinion, my believes and my thoughts.

Many different cultures/religions share similar ideas - but amazing how many people simply don't understand things like this.
