- Happiness comes to those who work for what they want
- and earn it through their own toil and efforts
- This industriousness is also admired by others
- as you are being a productive member of society
- You also work for what you want v.s. causing trouble
- and attempting to take from others and causing problems
- It is difficult to deal with people who covet what others have
- People who steal, kill, lie, and cheat for gain are not praised and celebrated
- they didn't work for what they wanted
- they didn't earn it, They took it from others, likely those their community
- This doesn't foster [[Frith|frið]] and strong community ties
- and in fostering [[Frith|frið]] it is hard to deal with such people
- in overcoming the fear of asking for help and winning the battle over that fear
- happiness will come from the result of seeking advice and help from others
- It is more fulfilling when you can accomplish something yourself
- v.s. always requiring help from others to complete something
- "I did this hard thing all on my own"
- putting in that initial footwork too before seeking assistance
- Facing challenges and not avoiding effort by just asking for the assistance of others
- favoring independence
- Happiness comes from achieving something for yourself and achieving and accomplishments
- less happy is the man who is envious of what others have
