" The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison. "
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
Humans live most of their life in their own belief systems. There is no concrete reality of anything, everything is based on assumptions including our actions and thoughts.
The only way to live a happy life is to come out of the negative cycle of thought and see the world as it is without labeling anything as bad or good. We believe that we are trapped or only after achieving something we can be happy. But the truth is we just need to stop thinking that we are the prisoners of our thoughts. If we believe that we are free from any bondage there will be no sadness left to cure in this world.
