Obviously it doesn't because I'm doing it and I know others who are as well...
There's no reason to change my perspective into one which feels bad just because other people may not be happy. It doesn't make sense. If someone puts their hand in fire, it makes no sense to put your hand in too, it's silly isn't it?
Just tell them to take their hand out (change their perspective into a heavenly one)

So I guess I'm not a real person then by your standards, huh?
It's none of my business if people feel "offended" that I'm not willing to suffer with them... like I said, if someone puts their hand in fire, I'm not joining them, I'll just tell them that they'll feel like heaven instead of pain if they would simply take it out...

Better late than never, wouldn't ya say...
Imagine that:
"Hey, since my hand is burning, and it'll still burn once I take it out, I might as well let it burn forever!"
The things that people say is so hilarious

No one is saying that you must suffer.
How are you going to tell people to get their hand out of the fire if you believe that no one has their hand in the fire? Accepting that your theory is wrong also doesn't mean you have to change your perspective and end up feeling bad.

Because we are all in heaven and since heaven is perfect, everything is there, even fire, but some people for some reason, keep their hand in it...

Well, if you're gonna die, you might as well die happy. There is no reason to die being sad. Dying is a part of life, love it, accept it, find happiness with it and know that all is well.

If you are forced to suffer and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, might as well be happy, since being sad makes it even worse and doesn't help the situation in any case...
Why should I? What purpose is there to change my perspective into a painful and suffering one just because some other people in the world are suffering?
If someone puts their hand in fire, I'm not gonna put my hand in there to "understand their pain" I'm going to use common sense and tell them to take their hand out...
If you wanna be happy, change your perspective into a happy one...edit on 10-12-2011 by arpgme because: (no reason given)

They are murdered because things happen. That's life. If the person was happy they wouldn't have killed it, but that's no excuse to not be happy though. Why would you ever use ANY just to justify not being happy?
People use uncontrollable situations and situations that happened long ago and even make up the most horrible hypothetical situations all for the sake of defending their justification to stay in a unhappy world view...
If only people did the same to justify being happy
