There are no free lunches in life but anybody can achieve lasting happiness if he makes the effort to absorb the underlying principles involved. Unhappiness used to be considered an unavoidable part of human existence. Most people oscillate between short bursts of happiness and long periods of neutral emotions or unhappiness. Only recently have we gained the insight that happiness need not merely be an involuntary emotional response to outside events, but that happiness can be purposefully achieved, maintained and enhanced by our rational mind. I am referring to everything that exists without our acknowledgment.
Objective reality is everything that just simply exists.
Objective Reality existed long before humans inhabited the world. It will exist long after we as individuals or even the human race will have disappeared from existence. If we could have total, absolute knowledge and understanding of Objective Reality, we would be in complete alignment with the world around us. Conflicts and problems would disappear because they can only arise when our perceptions or our expectations are in conflict with Objective Reality. It is as simple as that.
