Something that can not be taught but acquire is your core value. If you don't have what it takes to know what happiness is then how can you get it? It just doesn't fall on your lap just one day you know.
Life is all about life lessons. Some may learn it at a very young age by their parents while others are able to learn it on the fly. I've learned my core values through segments of my life by observations of the real world.
Once you are able to acquire this, nothing can shake you. For example, religion. In history of the viet and the church folks, them ancient kings would put out a cross and tell you to walk across it as a sign of you giving up your religion and have devotion to him or off with your heads. 117 were accounted for in prints and many more of the faithful were able to die for their religion. I'm like wow, so I learned more into it and to see where they get their faith from. Core value once again, once you are able to see your own light and if it is strong enough, you may hold onto it for dear life, until death do you part.
Another one is learn how to be content and work with what you have. This ideology or whatever you want to call it can not be learn. It must be self taught and absorbed. I have a friend that lived this way. His favorite word is "it's ok" and at the time, I did not understand what it meant but when I tried to live his way of life, I found out that being ok is being in contention with yourself. You can test yourself with eating. Do you eat enough or do you eat until you are full? What if you do not have enough to eat? Will you be ok with it?
If you never become rich, will you be ok with it? If you are born ugly, will you be ok with it? So on and so forth.
So if you are able to be at this elite level, nothing can stop you. Nothing externally will stop you. If you are hungry and you have just a piece of bread, you feed your children with it, it is ok. If someone puts a gun to your head and you know you are going to die, you tell them, it is ok. If your own children or parents die, you tell yourself, it is ok. Now getting to that level might require one hellava drug to some. It is still ok, I can deal with that.
