My library #1: Howard C. The Art of Happiness. A Handbook for Living I've just finished to read a book of Howard C. The Art of Happiness. A Handbook for Living. In my country today is not a good time: failed attempt of revolution, stupid war, lie, corruption. All of this provokes a loss of any faith in the future. I understood, that today is not a XIII century - world is open for everyone, but I feel that I am also guilty of events that happened with my country - I was accepted with all these haphazard things . What was my mistake? I hated. Hate was my only emotion. I wanted a revenge. There were no constructive thinks in my mind. But today many peoples are not alive. The goals of revolution are not achieved. Back to the book. I started reading this because I can't really relax already two years. After this book I understood, that suffering is an integral part of our lives. All of us wants the same - to avoid suffering and to be happy. These things I heard before, but during the reading of this I felt special feeling of confirmation and fixing. I was very impressed after parable about woman and her dead single baby. She went for help to Buddha. He said that he can to help her child, if she get mustard grain from some family, where did not die child, husband, wife, parents or servant. The attempt was unsuccessful , but the woman understood, that we all are on equal footing. The main idea of this book, in my opinion, is understanding in all situations of our common feeling of pain.
