With relative objectivity, I have analyzed my current situation and the situation of many relatives, friends and acquaintances, in the light and backlight of both "reality" and Philosophy; to contrast the actions and consequences that each of us has sown and harvested, over the last few years.

In this sense, I have noticed that there are differences between those who are possibly more successful and happy, and in those who supposedly are "unsuccessful" and walk "sunken" in the bitter sea of unhappiness; especially, there is evidence of a couple of marked and unusually marked characteristics in both groups; with elements associated with the words: Prejudice and Appearance.

It is noteworthy that I do not consider that Happiness can or should be intrinsically related to success; therefore, it is satisfying to recognize that almost all people can be or are completely happy, to their intimate and free way of living, thinking, speaking, feeling, omitting, deciding, doing and seeing the things of life, of the world and of love; and even be happy and successful at the same time.

Consequently, as the first Philosophical initiative, I infer that it is transcendental not to let ourselves be influenced by the environment, the people and/or by our manipulated or manipulative minds; that is, self-control is essential to enjoy a full personal, mental, emotional, material and spiritual balance; with peace and love in all the senses for each one of us, in order to reach our own goals as happy, content and satisfied humans.

Say No To Prejudice

Etymologically, the word Prejudice comes from the Latin "praejudicium", which means to judge a priori, in advance or previously, things, ideas, facts and people; without real sustenance and without having the necessary knowledge or contextualized truth; in fact, an object, idea, situation or person is criticized, without having sufficient evidentiary elements to issue valid arguments with sufficient certainty.

In this way, the criticable Prejudice is instrumented based on an idea, word, action, omission, sensation or preconceived or unfounded belief: because it is not necessarily true and sometimes it is reckless; and it implies the generation of an unfounded judgment, which can sometimes be absurd, without determining the reason for the evidence or the necessary direct and real experiences.

Likewise, Psychologists consider that the Prejudice is a person who tends to cultivate a negative, sometimes pessimistic and discriminatory attitude of criticism, with scope in all its areas and personal, labor, professional, affective and social activities; due to its rudimentary, intransigent, ignorant or obtuse way of thinking, speaking, feeling, omitting and acting.

It is to note, that certainly somehow all humans have the tendency to be prejudiced, because the mind is always ahead of words, facts, objects, people and information, due to the habit cultivated by all of us to associate and relate all new event with ideas, words, experiences, sensations and learnings from the past; but, it is also the duty of each of us to keep these prejudices under control.

In this sense, it is inferred that the Prejudice in its broadest conception can arise and remain active for selfish, envious, petty, mediocre, insane, evil, fanatized or uncontrolled convenience; to discriminate, humiliate, discard, destroy, set aside, affect, enslave, dominate, isolate, corrupt or restrict other people, things, facts, ideas, words or sensations.

Contradictorily, by simple prejudice added to a double moral, in other cases the convenience of the subject is inverted to accept other people, things, facts, ideas, words or sensations, with high preference and without reflecting on the truth, on the good and the bad, of the should be, of justice, equity and of objectivity or subjectivity in both cases.

Feel, Think, Speak and Act Properly

In literature, Philosophical, Psychological, Religious and Self-Help, there are many publications related to the assertion of "Power That Has the Word" to create or destroy, especially in the context of human life.

In this order of ideas, I must say that through the right words, we can express our miraculous imaginative and creative power, and obviously, that happens in conjunction with our great power of communication.

So much so, that a good thought and verb associated, objectively, with conscious mind, positive and without prejudices, configured miracles, to be used when you want to do good and to be happy with lots of love, transmitting knowledge, experiences, feelings and good vibes; We want to include to reach agreements of peace, coexistence and for the union of actions based on support to reach our goals.

Harmful Appearances and Influences of the Environment

For almost all of us, the popular advice is wise: "We must not get carried away by Appearances"; in the sense of the characteristics that a person, idea, thing or fact seems to possess; but, that in reality it does not have them; especially when dealing with false, hypocritical, phony, manipulative or deceptive attitudes of people, which are opposite to what they really are, either by simulation, mask or cheating dissimulation or swindler.

That is to say, the negative aspect of the attitude of Appearance must be taken into account in order to achieve the success and happiness of the people; being the truth, originality and honesty, characteristics of great importance in the life of each of us, especially in the corresponding relationship with our peers and the environment. In fact, we should avoid copying Appearance models, as well as avoid living out of appearances or relating intimately, functionally or closely with people based on Appearance; as conceived councils, inferred as the best option we can choose to succeed, live, love and be loved and happy.

Related to the above and in utopian and pragmatic breadth, we are clear that all humans are exposed to the influence of the situational context, our own prejudices, our daily perspective, knowledge and experience, feelings, emotions and the opinions and actions of our peers.

For example, if we tell a woman that she is beautiful, her natural reaction is one of joy, happiness, mischief and sympathy, among others; but, if we say that it is ugly, instantaneously generates anger, annoyance, antipathy and animosity, with a sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Both situations of the same case, mean that the state of mind, attitude and behavior of a person is extremely influenced by others.

But, it is recommended that we should not be this way, on the contrary, we should have perfect self-control and not allow the subjective conditioning, the environment and the opinions of third parties, to modify our happiness and the achievement of our goals; because the best attitude is to discern opinions and decide what is most important for our development, progress, success and happiness.

Conclusion

In short, it is considered that by internalizing and putting into practice real and sincere, the necessary improvements inferred and proposed in the previous points; it will help us in consequence to be more honest, free, responsible, successful and happy; and in the expectation of turning all this into heritable practice from parents to children, to encourage the evolutionary development of better people in the near future, and to enjoy all of a more equitable, spiritual, altruistic, happy and less materialistic society.
