For twenty-five years I've been speaking and writing in defense of your right to happiness in this world, condemning your inability to take what is your due, to secure what you won in bloody battles on the barricades of Paris and Vienna, in the American Civil War, in the Russian Revolution. Your Paris ended with Petain and Laval, your Vienna with Hitler, your Russia with Stalin, and your America may well end in the rule of the Ku Klux Klan! You've been more successful in winning your freedom than in securing it for yourself and others. This I knew long ago. What I did not understand was why time and again, after fighting your way out of a swamp, you sank into a worse one. Then groping and cautiously looking about me, I gradually found out what has enslaved you: YOUR SLAVE DRIVER IS YOU YOURSELF. No one is to blame for your slavery but you yourself. No one else, I say!.Wilhelm Reich
About This Quote
I believe that the main reason why people are not happy today is because they don't know who they are and what their true purpose is. They have been manipulated by society and their parents to think that the only purpose of life is to earn money, be religious or conform to a certain type of lifestyle. In fact, human beings were created for a higher purpose, which is happiness. To attain happiness, we need to reach our full potential, meaning we need to discover what our true purpose is and follow it.
