Relying on external factors such as those in power or world events for happiness is futile. By looking at examples like Victor Frankl in a concentration camp finding peace, it becomes clear that amidst shared suffering, individuals can still find happiness. Despite challenging circumstances like trauma or genocide, not everyone succumbs to negative outcomes, revealing the ability of individuals to influence their emotions. The skill of finding happiness regardless of circumstances is a lost art that needs to be relearned as the world becomes more challenging.
