What is REALLY going on?

[Too-Da-Loo!]

So many people tell me I'm naive, unaware, and that I have no idea what is REALLY going on. Since my nervous system appears to lack the proper perceptive tools, could someone tell me what is really happening? Or better yet, how to sharpen my awareness and perceptive abilities?
Perhaps I shoud start hanging out at the bar all day, since that's where a majority of people seem to reside who best understand the real world?

Well, the people in the bars will certainly tell you they know what is really going on, but I have a lot of experience that says they are no more in tune than sober stupid people.

That being said, I am sober now and will advice this: You have the ability to figure out what is really going on by yourself.

Don’t be a victim of the “Grand Illusion”: that which the manipulated media would have you believe. Do your own research. It is interesting and fun knowing the facts when everyone else is being played.

The best way to deal with everything in life is to simply learn and practice clear and honest critical thinking. This means being honest with ourselves about EVERYTHING.

Here's a place to start:

And you need to know this: True happiness, and in fact all emotion, is tied to our attitude.

I have been working on my personal mental attitude for many years and have gotten a good hold on it. I choose to have a positive mental attitude and I almost always feel happy.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that we can alter our life simply by altering our attitude of mind. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.

Our attitudes control our lives.

Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Start learning clear and honest critical thinking today. Start working on your personal mental attitude, and have a wonderful life.

Love and peace to you, forever.

P.S. Don’t expect others to listen to you, even when you know what is really going on. They have been bamboozled by the big players of social manipulation.
