Almost instant happiness 2

Whatever we do today is raw material for our future happiness or sadness, but only raw material. The big effect is not immediate. Independently of if we do bad things or good things, the main effect regarding happiness is not instant.
If we feel happy doing things today, it depends on actions we did earlier. The things we do today may trigger the experience of happiness, but the happenings today are not the experience itself.
Normally we have a potential for different experiences, ranging from happiness to sadness. If we have no potential for happiness, we can not experience happiness even if the good events taking place are drastic.
So happiness is an almost instant process. Our actions today will give happiness tomorrow and later, but not today.
This delay can give problems. If we do bad things today while feeling fine from earlier good actions, we will suffer tomorrow. The suffering will come as a surprise, as we felt so fine during the action.
The ideal is a continuous process of doing good, where we are happy because the good things we did yesterday and where we prepare for a new day of happiness by doing good now.

The future 2

Life is manifestation of ideas...so we can ask why it is not better...why all these disturbances and irritations not to mention serious problems and sufferings...did I really want to manifest this?
The process of manifesting ideas is tremendously powerful ... if we look at the world from the outside, it might not seem so ... but the reason for a bleak end result is that so much of all activity is conflict ... if we could cooperate the result would be much better, even if the atmosphere of cooperation is more dull than the atmosphere of full conflict and catastrophe...
Can we cooperate, or is human nature seeking conflict?
The answer is that "human nature" is a habit rather than a static state. We are flexible, also on the most basic level.
If desperate conflict is the best for progress, we will manifest those ideas.
If we find cooperation in harmony to be the best, we will manifest that.
But we can not change this directly. There is a time gap.
