The Architect: Install Happy Life

Life gives you two choices, either be happy and wise or be otherwise. Following is the conversation between me (the architect for the software called 'Happy Life' and a prospective customer).

Customer: Hi, this is customer. I was wondering if your software 'Happy Life' will help me improve my life and hence my relations.

The Architect: Sure, it will. Provided, all the prerequisites have been met.

Customer: So what are those prerequisites and what if I cannot afford them?

The Architect: They come quite cheap and are easy to install. My list of requirement is as following- A complete idiocy scan, Commonsense and willingness to admit the change.

Customer: Ok, first thing first. I want to have a complete idiocy scan. How should I go about it?

The Architect: My pleasure. But you must understand that such a corruption can easily occur and to a good extent it is inevitable. You have to have a weekly planned idiocy scan. To start the scan, first install the base recovery package 'Understanding People'. This package guarantees a safe recovery if the system crashes. Apart from this, you must enable 'Forgiveness' and 'Admit your mistake' in your system. If the complete recovery is not successful, 'Forgiveness' and 'Admit your mistake' will help you alleviate your loss.

Customer: This was quite easy, I am equipped now. Should I double click the 'Idiocy scan' icon? Which viruses can it clean.

The Architect: Sure. Please go ahead but such a scan will only tell you what the viruses are. You yourself have to remove or quarantine them. For the best results, I suggest that you follow manual removal steps.

Customer: Ok. Ok. I am getting the scan results now. Oh my! This is a big list of viruses. Here are they.
  1. Looking back into the past and wasting present while destroying future
  2. Bad relations
  3. Hopelessness and zero confidence
  4. Cocooning thyself
The Architect: Hmm, it is no big. I have seen people with pages long list. Please don't worry, here are the removal steps.

Looking back into the past and wasting present while destroying future:

This is the most commonly found virus. To get rid of this, you have to remember that time is precious and it is slipping. Each second wasted in thinking about past on which you have no control is a second lost. Imaging a situation: You are driving a car, your hands firm on steering, foot on accelerator and brakes but eyes on rear view mirror. Needless to say that you can never drive ahead even if the road is traffic less. Living a good life is akin to smooth driving. You must see in front of you.

Bad relations:

This too is quite common, quite harmful but quite easy to clean up virus. With the help of 'Understanding People', try to analyze what went wrong in each bad relation. Then 'Forgiveness' which must be running as a service will take hold of them automatically. There could be some instances where you are at mistake. You must 'Admit your mistake' them.

Hopelessness and zero confidence:

Either it is over confidence or no confidence. Probabilistic distribution is 50-50 for this virus. Anyway you must take sometime for you everyday and meditate. You must jot down the list of your successes in your life and then analyze what made you achieve them. As soon as you do so, use your strong suits to empower you confidence. Easy is it not?

Cocooning thyself:

I presume you already have met the prerequisite of 'Willingness to admit changes'. As soon as 'Willingness to admit changes' takes hold of your system, you will be out from your cocoon. Remember, as you tread ahead, environment changes, and so should you.

Customer: After big efforts, I have exterminated all the viruses. How about 'Happy Life' now?

The Architect: Bingo! 'Happy Life' is a special software, it takes hold of any system automatically as soon as your system is virus free. And the best part is that it tries to activate itself on the people you communicate with. Commonsense that you installed as the first step to go ahead with, will help you justify your intuitions in life.
You are now equipped with the tools for a happy life. Go forth and multiply.
