How To Make People Unhappy? Part 1

If you and I could secretly get into the mind of  Liberal Democrats (sorry, also this applies to bad Republicans) and discover what is their modus operandi in making so many people sick and unhappy, we would be surprised to see that it is quite an easy task to do.

I am going to try to think devilish. If I wanted to make as many people unhappy in life so that I could introduce to them "my plans" and "my goals" in order for such things to be readily and easily received, I know I could do such things quite easily.  All I need to do is just make people unhappy!

But how do I make people fed up and unhappy in life? I would either take away or keep them from having the ONE trait that makes people happy -- just one.  This one trait is so powerful, it causes people to be more happier, more generous, more forgiving, more honest, more kind, more everything good -- without really a single lesson in morality. It wouldn't matter if one was a Christian or non-Christian.  This one trait is that powerful that it will work its magic on either group.

So you are wondering, "What is this magical trait?" It is so simple that we tend not to even think about it.

It’s GRATITUDE.

You can’t be a happy person if you aren’t grateful and you can’t be a good person if you aren’t grateful.  Almost everything good flows from gratitude, and almost everything bad flows from ingratitude.

Think about this for a moment. Let’s begin with ingratitude.  Here’s a rule of life that applies to everyone: Ingratitude guarantees unhappiness.  It’s as simple as that. There isn't an ungrateful happy person on Earth.  And there isn't an ungrateful good person on Earth. 

So if I had a lot of power over people and wanted them to accept my bad social programs, my bad ideas, my bad way of thinking, I would make them totally unhappy by making them ungrateful.

Furthermore, if I didn't like someone who happened to be the president of the United States, and wanted to turn the people against him, I would simply sow the seeds of ingratitude and make those who follow him unhappy in life. This would then cause my enemy to experience resistance -- day by day making his leadership hard and burdensome.

Now what would be the seeds of ingratitude that I would begin sowing in the lives of those who are so loyal to my enemy? There are two of them. And I will introduce them in Part 2.
