The way into the hall of success always passes through the chamber of decision. Decide to be a success; success is deliberate!
We start feeling uneasy as soon as the initial euphoria or happiness from our achievement fades away. We then raise the bar further so that we can strive more and achieve even higher success thereby deliberately making ourselves unhappy. However, our lifelong chase of success only gives us suffering and unhappiness.
The strengthening of our statehood is, at times, deliberately interpreted as authoritarianism.
