“I feel that I've had a happy life, not a very useful life, but a happy one.”

Context: Let everyone live as ever they like, as ever they desire. There should be no interference on Internet, or on Facebook, on Skype. People’s religion or ideas should not be interfered. Let everyone be free. Religion would prosper very easily in such an environment.

Context: A dream! What is a dream? And is not our life a dream? I will say more. Suppose that this paradise will never come to pass (that I understand), yet I shall go on preaching it. And yet how simple it is: in one day, in one hour everything could be arranged at once! The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that's the chief thing, and that's everything; nothing else is wanted — you will find out at once how to arrange it all. And yet it's an old truth which has been told and retold a billion times — but it has not formed part of our lives! The consciousness of life is higher than life, the knowledge of the laws of happiness is higher than happiness — that is what one must contend against. And I shall. If only everyone wants it, it can be arranged at once.
