Now I don't know how to put it, I will try to write in the most non-offensive way possible.
Christian, when I read your response, I did not understand how can what you wrote even be advice! First you assume a number of things about me and then you tell me that a person will become happy when he accepts that he is no different than others, that he is another sheep in the herd, and even worst, he should blindly believe the writings that:
- were written decades after Christ's death based on oral stories (ever played broken phone?)
- were selected by the first popes based on what ensured their power (not all gospels made it into the bible.)
After reading the text I still allowed for a minor possibility that this could be a path to happiness, so I proceeded to read what you have written on these forums. After going through the threads you started I realised that you should not be allowed to give advice to people.
Interestingly enough your writings still made me move. If there are seriously people like yourself then I simply have to achieve more in my life than I currently have, if not me then who else?. I also understood that successful people, who could give worthwhile advice probably do not write on forums like these. I don't think there is a single person who can be called successful, just those who think they can become such by taking the non-sensical advice by Steve.
The realisation that I am becoming one of them is probably the best motivation I ever had to change myself.
