We are taught from birth by religionist to blame our troubles on someone else: such as “mommy did this to me so I am unhappy”, or “daddy did that to me so I am unhappy”. All of our excuses are mere illusions created in our own mind. Those same religionist teach us that we cannot be happy, and that we must not be happy, because we do not have the power to have happiness.
We cede our power to have Happiness to an Illusion!
How moronic is that?
I hope that this helps.
