You can't know that something will make you happy until you've experienced it.
If you're really in charge of your faculties, you'll make your own happiness
instead of letting external factors do it for you.
As Lincoln has said, "We're about as happy as we make up our minds to be."
When explanations rely on their ability to satisfy, that's when we get a myriad
of explanations, and everyone chooses the one that best satisfies them.

"problem"? What problem? Mind requires no explanation.
All that is important is the truth.
>I mean, HONESTLY.
We all mean honestly. Very few succeed.
