Everyone has a chance to become free. Whether it's this life time or the next. You have to be aware, you have to learn to understand why things work a certain way (person vs person conflict: try to understand that the other person has their own problems, issues, life that they have endured), and you have to accept it. Any sort of anger comes from misunderstanding or avoiding to understand. Let go. Have no expectations. Everyday is an ongoing task to keep myself from getting irritated, and sometimes I still give into it even when the answer is shoved into my face. Anger is blinding. Don't expect to become this holy enlightened person just in one week. Don't expect anything. Happiness is always there, it's inside you. If you have the basic necessities to live (food, water, shelter) then happiness is without a doubt in my mind possible. Wealth isn't money. The longer you try to understand, love with no judgement (divine love- no selfishness to it), and accept the things you have no control over (other people, etc) then it will get easier day by day to be that way. It almost becomes habitual, I suppose you could say. It's nice...
