More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. science fiction? it is already happening to some extent in our own society... instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. in effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.
Depression Depressing Mean
Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief -- resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer.
Men Yield Law
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination. your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own inner expectations. if you imagine dire circumstances, ill health or desperate loneliness, these will be 'automatically' materialized, for these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them a reality in physical terms. if you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health.
Loneliness Health Reality
The dark ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. this dark ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation. caught up in a plethora of conditioned reflexes and driven by the human ego, both warden and prisoner attempt meagerly to compete with god. all are intractably skeptical of what they do not understand. we are powerfully imprisoned in these dark ages simply by the terms in which we have been conditioned to think.

In opposition... to all the suggestions of the devil, the sole, simple, and sufficient answer is the word of god. this puts to flight all the powers of darkness.
Christian Simple Darkness
Be careful what you say. it comes true. it comes true. i had to leave home in order to see the world logically, logic the new way of seeing. i learned to think that mysteries are for explanation. i enjoy the simplicity. concrete pours out of my mouth to cover the forests with freeways and sidewalks. give me plastics, periodical tables, tv dinners with vegetables no more complex than peas mixed with diced carrots. shine floodlights into dark corners: no ghosts.

The house clock, place certain there at the bottom of things, strikes the half hour dry and null. all is so much, all is so deep, all is so dark and cold!
