Conclusion

The first of the 7 Ancient Keys to Happiness is to see the good.  See how good you are, how good your life is, how good other people are and how good everything is.  We learned how to recognize the good, appreciate the good and be thankful for the good.  When we practice seeing the good and it becomes our new way of viewing the world - we will feel more than happy, we will feel the ecstasy of living, the serenity of everyday and a quiet, calm satisfaction with life.

There is one poison that can kill our happiness and positivity and that is cursing/wishing bad upon others.  if we want to be happy, we have to avoid doing this.  We have to be 100% clear that cursing others who have done good to us is the fastest way to destroy our own inner joy.

The first key to happiness is based on the first of the seven commandments given to Noah.  It is interesting to note that this was "Do not curse the Ultimate Source of All Goodness."  At first glance it doesn't seem like a key to happiness.  But if we analyze it, we see that the first key to happiness is seeing the good, appreciatei9ng it and being grateful, and the ONLY way we can achieve this is if we don't slip into negative thinking and habits.  We have to open our eyes to the good in our lives, and then we have to be careful to never repay the one who gave us their good with bad (even in our thoughts.)  However, if we are not careful to avoid ingratitude and bitterness, we will inevitably spiral into a negative loop and in a split second ruin all our happiness.

If we can rise above our natural downward pull of negativity and avoid cursing, bitterness and hate, and instead strengthen ourselves to see the good, even in the most trying of circumstances, we will make it through the Gate of Happiness dancing and singing with this key.
