I've been battling with a sense of guilt for "having the opportunity" to be happy for almost a year. It is indeed paralysing, and although it will take a little more time, this has shed much light on the topic. I used to wonder whether people can still be happy if they are living in remote poverty-stricken areas filled with disease and misfortune. And I came across a Baha'i Writing that is very special to me: "...Anybody can be happy in the state of comfort, ease, health, success, pleasure and joy; but if one will be happy and contented in the time of trouble, hardship and prevailing disease, it is the proof of nobility...." ( Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 363) www.bahai.org Also, joy is indeed a quality of the soul - which everyone can have irrespective of the material world :) Thank you again for a beautiful article. Thank you so so much.

No 8 rocks! For years I had no self esteem but my job required me to be happy and outgoing to people daily. I pretended I had self confidence and that nothing worried me. I kept waiting to be found out as a fraud but one day I realized I wasn't pretending, I really was confident and my self esteem soared and happiness returned. Fake it until it becomes real. It really works. Kathy Hi Beth and Neill,

I dont watch much of the "News" and select what I read. Being creative in my art glass and in my work brings me joy, as does surrounding myself with positive friends like you two.
