What should I think? What others think. No, what others should think.
What should be thought? Good thoughts. No, the best thoughts.
What thoughts are best? The ones that make one happiest. No, the ones that make others happiest. But for other ones than I, I am an other. So, the ones that make all happiest.
How can the thought of one make all happy? By leading to actions that make all happy.
What thoughts lead to actions that make all happy? Persuasive thoughts.
What persuades? Hearing what one wants to hear, or, having heard, is glad to have not missed hearing.
The thoughts that persuade one to make all happy are the thoughts that make one happy.
