We can use mind for theoretical knowledge or for reality production, and happiness is an example. It is a difference between hearing a talk about happiness and to be happy. We want the real happiness, not just a theory.
Many ideas about becoming happy are quite lofty, including external reality, other persons and sometimes God or other powers.
But happiness is a mind-mind process. Unhappiness is also a mind-mind process.
So, how to be unhappy?
One efficient method is to see faults and problems, and blame others, God and whatever. The problem is not that we observe problems, but that we blame others. For example, being disappointed with God gives tremendous negative backlash.
In many cultures it is quite accepted to blame others. It is true that others often are a nuisance, but if we blame them we get problems ourselves. The negativity we assemble towards others is after all assembled in our own mind, and there it stays. It even grows and increases in power, and eventually it will burst and feed directly in our mind as the most extreme experience of unhappiness. That is not nice!
On the other hand, if we have a positive attitude towards others and try to solve even the most impossible problems, we get a potential for happiness. And when this potential matures we will experience real happiness.
If we know the power of mind, we can look out for all impulses to think, say or do negative things and stop them as fast as possible.
