More From John Heywood

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.
Happiness Jobs Growing Up
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

Wise Self People
If you are interested in happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book. in this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle. this is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the three baudelaire youngsters.

Book Mean Ordinary
It is false to speak of realization. what is there to realize? the real is as it is always. we are not creating anything new or achieving something which we did not have before. the illustration given in books is this. we dig a well and create a huge pit. the space in the pit or well has not been created by us. we have just removed the earth which was filling the space there. the space was there then and is also there now. similarly we have simply to throw out all the age-long sanskaras [innate tendencies] which are inside us. when all of them have been given up, the self will shine alone.
