Buuut... There are a few things everyone who is enlightened must acknowledge.
1. You are where and who you are in the present. To spend that moment wanting to be someone or somewhere else, you are declaring that you wish to be discontent. It is not easy to see things this way, but it is well worth it.
2. It may seem contradictory to the previous point , but you must also constantly strive to better yourself. Enlightenment is a path of wisdom, self-awareness, and universal realisation. The reason this is not a contradiction is that you must still maintain that you are the best you can be in the present, and that you are satisfied with your position. Even though you are not where you want to be, be satisfied that you are on your way there.
3. This is not just a society we live in, it is a universe filled with living things which, to the objective eye, are all equal. To have peace within yourself, you must not hinder that of other living things. You've all heard the saying: treat others the way you wish to be treated. This goes for all living things, it maintains a balance of sorts.
4. The former points may or may not be wrong. Having said that, knowing and living by this has made me a much happier person than I was. All I can hope for by writing this is that someone is influenced by it in a positive way.
