I knew I must never forget the importance of happiness right now for myself and for those I loved. For, if I were not aware of feeling happiness every day right now, then I knew as I grew older I would begin to ask, "Did I miss out? My only one time, my one chance...did I miss out?"
I started thinking about my dad. Later that evening I visited him and told him about my feelings. I asked him if he was happy. He nodded. After awhile, I said, "Dad, I think the vast majority of people today are victims. Because of today's ruling class, the people are robbed of their Six Ultimate Gifts and the spectacular life they were meant to have. Tomorrow in the Neotech Era, they will become victors. Yet in today's politicized society, we not only pay for our leaders from our wallets, but from our souls, too."
My father said, "Mark, do you understand where happiness comes from?"
"I think so," I said, "In fact, I saw what happiness was in my Third Vision. Let's see..." I started to grope for the answer.
"Man is a social animal living together in a society," my dad offered. "What brings man happiness is the pride and the knowledge that he is putting value into that society. The more value he puts into society, the more pride and the more happiness he feels inside. Putting value into society is the secret to a successful life, both emotionally and financially."
How elegantly simple, I thought. The age-old riddle answered in two words: producing values. That thought kept running through my head: How do we achieve happiness? By producing values for society. Now I began to put together the riddle of how our leaders were blocking us not only from success and wealth, but above all else, happiness. Most people whom I knew were caught in stagnation-traps and could not put any more values into society. Therefore, they could not advance financially or emotionally and instead sank into stagnation. I now realized that emotional stagnation, like financial stagnation, was caused by our leaders and their politicized society.
"Dad," I said sadly, "our time now is everything for us -- this is our one and only time. For anyone to suppress us during our one and only time in all eternity...for anyone to take happiness away from us is unacceptable. Yet, that tragedy is happening to every one of us."
"Along with losing our happiness and wealth, we also lose our love and romance," I added, suddenly thinking back to the Fifth Vision. "As our happiness gets cut off by stagnation, our capacity for lasting love gets cut off, too. We must be able to feed the sweet romance -- felt right at the beginning -- with growing happiness. Instead, losing the thrill for life eventually kills those sweet celebrations."
"Remember that special feeling when first falling in love? Remember how your life lit up? You felt like the most important person in the world. You were in love! You did not have to work for that special feeling; it was just always there. But over time, it faded. That special feeling abandoned you as stagnation overcame you."
My father, seeing a look of sadness come over my face, gently added, "When you see through the deceptions as you did in your Fifth Vision, our leaders -- not us -- actually kill our romance."
"Our leaders actually kill our romance! Our leaders are robbing us of everything we have!" I cried out.
"Including your life itself," my father added. "In fact, we die much younger than is natural. They regulate and suppress medicine and science, too. Consider how certain people in the FDA and other bureaucracies make major medical, scientific, and business breakthroughs nearly impossible. Those cures are blocked because of 'achievement files' like I ran into at Du Pont. Bureaucrats build 'achievement files' through putting tough regulations on business, technology, and medicine. Enforcing tough regulations builds a name for those politically ambitious bureaucrats. But those regulations cripple business and science and block medical and technological progress.
