Answer 8

i think its a interaction between circumstances and perspective on life. there are some people who's day is ruined if someone is rude to them, and there are others who can get in a screaming match and walk away smiling. i think... not sure about that last one. anyways, the point is, no one is going to be happy the day after their mother dies. but by taking a certain perspective on life, one can get over the sadness faster and bring on the happiness more efficiently. and since we have better control over perspective than circumstances, i think its better to concentrate on changing perspective rather than trying to bend the world to our will.

Answer 9

Helping others..
