sometimes, we must fight our natural instincts if we want to be happy. This is hard for some people to believe, I know. Our worldly urges for money, power, pleasure, and prestige come from our ancient limbic brains. We also instinctively want to be happy and satisfied. We then make an erroneous connection: “Since I have these urges, following them must make me happy.” But that is Mother Nature’s cruel hoax. She doesn’t really care either way whether you are unhappy.
