First of all, we need to begin to understand the place. Is it empty? Does it have many things? Hoarder? Loner? Social jackdaw? Nature made for quite interesting variations out there. All abstract sense appart, I meant to say that you first need to know who you are and since I cannot know that, I'll ask the most common met wishes of people in terms of how they want to be and I'll explain something about each. 

➢ Courage: 
There are two types of courage, the bad one, and the good one, both related to mental ability. To put it short, if you don't use your brain, courage is there by default up until it's too late and it's vanished. If you think ''why so'', it's because courage without mind makes one not think of repercussions or actions and thus without enough responsibility, the will to go forward is one that has short legs. It starts nicely, as an attribute, but it's to an extreme where the person with its own hand will inflict great pain to itself. 

The good type of courage comes with a mind, but the mind is always curious and always self doubting. If you ever wondered if you have at least the potential to be smart, self doubt comes with it, but is not by any means applying the definition of ''smart'' in any way without the mental work of the person. The good courage comes upon learning yourself. You have to know what you can do, and what you cannot do. You need to think what you already believe in, question yourself to the bone just to be sure of who you really are. The moment you hesitate to answer your own questions about you, the moment fear starts to envelop yourself, you have found the issue. Upon thinking about the issue, you will have the choice of changing or not changing your mind, meaning that you can take up the courage to solve it or leave it be. It is always easy to leave it be, the temptation will always be chosen by weak minds. Take in mind that desire plays a big role into this, regardless of how mentally weak one is, the desire pushes one to want to become better, and while the desire is the click, the needs push you to want that change. It is imperative by nature's rules that anyone trying to find their courage, will inevitable have a true desire of change, for courage to be found again. If it's ''why'' that you're asking now, it's because courage is the acceptance of that which is given before you, the awareness of that which is before you and the understanding of the pain that it causes. All these things together make up the good courage, as when you understand, when you are aware and when you know yourself, you already are conditioned to know that whatever comes your way, you can handle it. That is true courage. The pain which you have inside which you hide tells you something about yourself and the situation always, and it's the main drive of will to forge. The desire of having courage will be too strong and the temptation of being brave will inevitably push you to see for a route to obtain it. Upon true action, where one questioned itself enough and is aware enough of life, then they will get to believe in themselves above all else, and for that to happen, you need responsibility, curiosity, an impartial mindset, a humble attitude and strength to defend yourself. To put it short: maturity. Without these, nobody will ever obtain true courage, just a mere assumption of bravery that is manifested into a sense of pride which pushes one to do reckless things to obtain the acceptance and appreciation of others. Pride feels good, courage doesn't have a feeling, as it is a state of mind.

➢ Happiness:

Such a relative requests requires a relative answer, one that would envelop all the required needs on earth, but since I do not have the power to know every and each one of these things I'll tell you a little story about happiness and how the search for happiness is like the drinking of water.  I would give you a glass of water every time you would be thirsty, but you will never have enough and thus I would be enslaved to give you water for as long as you or I would live. That is the requirement of obtaining happiness and how futile the search is, because happiness is one of many chemicals in your body that you can have depending on certain factors that influence your life. Pain will always make you realize things if you're smart enough to seek an answer, but comfort will never be enough to satiate the gluttony for happiness in your heart, as it is but an artificial feeling of the fulfilled needs. True happiness comes from the mind, knowing that you have enough and you can live with enough because there's nothing more to what's given already. Well, at the same time there's plenty of options and everyone tries to get in your pockets trying to reap you of money, promising a resolve for anything, and since some of us are not giving their all in the art of thinking, and since we're all pushed to cling to our desires to spend more and think less, even the poor man down the street can teach you happiness for free. But some of us want to be tought by an ''expert'' that costs money to teach you how to live when all is available for free, but the more money we make, the poorer we are and the poorer we are, the more money we want to make so that we get poor enough to justify our lack of money just to end up turning on each-other for it, to throw away all notion of happiness for THE happiness. So I shall say it as any master from the BC would say it: If thy want happiness, learn to live. It's as simple as that. If we think through the luxury of our comfort, we will never be happy, because if you give the cat good food, the cat won't eat what it's supposed to, or at least it won't until it's really starving, because it will learn that it has the comfort to ask for actual tasty food at any point in the day. Happiness means being grateful for the food because of how starving feels like, and what kind of feeling of hopelessness it gives, telling us that we're not immortal nor gods to demand satisfaction 24/7. Having such demands would only lead to a fake lifestyle, one full of envy, pride and gluttony on those who obtain that happiness and can live a normal life. Because let's put it together, when we want what the other got, it's because we feel like it is unfair for someone that has it all on their plate to get it, and the wheel for such a thing can be turned around for anyone. Someone bad can have it for free in a bad system, and someone good can have it for free in a good system, that only tells us that the way through which we understand who should and shouldn't get something is based on pride if it's a good system and true unfairness in a bad one. When we have the comfort we have the luxury of being proud, of having preferences, of imposing our opinions and the things which should or should not be known based on our standard, on others. A sane person will imediately realize there is a fault there, and such happiness is artificial, undeserved and extremely harmful, let alone toxic. It solves nothing but catch the humble worker in the crossfire of billions of landlords, kings and queens that fight for power, over who has the best idea, the greatest priviliege and the most followers. And gluttony knocks at the door right after, when it's never enough as the delusion of comfort in which we live, through which we become the kings of the jungle, feeds our demands and makes us forge lies and narratives which pray on hopeless people that need an answer, not a doctrine nor a witch hunt. Obtaining that happiness which we want by nature is essentially living, and living comes by paying attention, being responsible, and knowing that every moment of the day, is just another moment that presents the life of the person that is you. 

➢Despair: 
Now why on earth would you wish for-...nevermind. But since we're building you up from scratch, people's 3rd most popular wish is despair, and I am not talking about curses, I am talking about them wishing to die to solve all the problems. In truth they want the whole situation resolved, dying would just be a condition in case it gets worse, as if it isn't already. There are times when despair takes over and people try to find hope in whatever they can, physical or spiritual. Sometimes some of us lose total control when it's too much and instead of understanding that, we think the person went crazy for no reason, that by simple magical appearance someone lost control because everything was good. In nature nobody loses control unless it's too much bad things, and some have a lower pain tolerance than others, and thus situations where despair is wished exist. People want a way out, an easy one as it's been too much and there's barely enough time to even replenish energy. There's something to learn from despair as well, when everyone turned their backs on you, you turn your back on people, and when it's their time to pay, they do not think it is their fault, and protected they stay for that by others who live to provide for others, having their life on the line but no mind in store to know whether or not the case is to be handled at the location, seek a solution and help the person. After all the badge to serve and protect don't mention to ''serve'' the right to live nor to ''protect'' someone's safety when someone else makes them do such weird things. The job's hard and that makes many just quit anyway because it's too much at stake. Add that, a person losing control and a bunch of idiots sitting in uniforms labeled ''to capture and execute'' and you've got a person that wishes it would die before that day where they would have to ask for help from law units that make people more afraid of them than the villains we are shown on TV that say a forbidden word. 

The thing is: you need help and the means to acquire it, especially when the situation not only hits the fan but goes through the roof, there's always the last resort. Live by planning. As much as we hate it since it requires energy and time, it is something imperative to day to day activities and problems. Planning puts emphasis on what the problem is about, its analysis, how to neutralize the problem and arm yourself better than a psycholog can prepare you mentally. Their job anyway is just to convince you to help yourself, when all you need really is yourself. You have to start believing in yourself, take problems one at a time and if it's too much don't be afraid to choose the best route to get yourself out of the disaster. We're animals and we have instincts and what anyone fears is a wild animal breaking free. Especially when it was misstreated. The balance through which nature functions says that as long as you find yourself in danger, get yourself up, stop thinking like a victim and think like a predator and that alone will teach you how others can do bad and how to protect yourself from them. As weird as it may sound, it's how the tactics in war were thought...through battle alone. Sides fought and it was only natural that the better side is always the one who does everything to win in such a way in which it protects what's good and takes down what's evil. So take it like a lesson, everytime you face despair, every single time you want to die, know that problems require thinking, a still mind, and maturing up means dealing with problems and solving them in the best way possible without causing much harm. 

I bet you were expecting something much more basic like ''everything's going to be fine'', no it won't, and we both know that words alone do not solve problems, actions do. In war the soldier is not asked if it wants to take a life, it has to, it has to pull the trigger. In life you're not asked to defend yourself, you have to, you've got to prepare all your life since it's quite some many years and you've got the comfort of doing so for years or nature will take you by surprise and force you do adapt or submit to others. 

Now we could diminish this effect if we could teach everyone the value of understanding, but for as long as people ignore the mind and go for the heart, it is only a tornado that they seek from the wind they blow with their swords. Remember, we're our own worst enemies, and understanding ourselves without clinging to our desires and delusions will result in peacekeeping, prevention and defense. Hopefully, it will even lead to better care. 

Yes, I know, why would we live only to suffer? Doing all this effort, going through hell fire, losing our loved ones in the pursuit for something so boring and complicated as understanding. You've got the answer why in the previous sentence. Remember also what I have said above about courage too, it requires desire, and for as long as we do not desire understanding, there shall be none, it is the rule of nature. Rule which teaches us there is a balance to upkeep and different adaptations to each problem. You cannot eat soup with a fork, you need a spoon nor can you drink lava because you can drink water. The suffering ultimately is optional, we can choose to be curious, take it the easy way, less suffering, more attention, or we can choose to not be curious and leave it for whoever suffers enough to provide with the answers, expectingly for free, and hopefully, to please our own narrative of the world. 

It is how it is and that is in essence against the balance. We could all live happy lives if we'd just simply stand down when we feel like creating conflict or we'd know how far is too far to not push someone else to create it on us. But we'd rather ''live life to the fullest'' by not actually living life, just experiencing things which give us a dopamine release in the brain, without an ounce of care for our actions, without learning anything about life and with a very well established sense of pride that we are the dictators of our own delusional past, present and future, of a life of ''freedom'', caged in our own definition of life carved after a luxurious lifestyle and a mindset locked under the bed with the monsters we fear to face because they tell the truth.

Life gives challenges so we learn how to solve them, so that we teach others to be mindful by not giving the resolve, but the ways of how to.
