Thank you Yaron. You are very correct. On this topic, I want to quote Kira from We the Living, "it is safe so long as we don't give up"

Staying fit keeps me happy. Associate with people who value their physical well-being, and you're most likely going to find that their good habits will rub off on you.

Have many children and teach them your values.

Read long books, and make sure one of them is Atlas Shrugged

[jaredsimpson]

Just ignore the unfree learn to become more diluted and relabel the world until it sounds good

I'm not going to have any children. No happiness for me?
