Is it normal for me to be happy with my life?

I'm currently buying 7 Happy Science books (2 or 3 at a time) over the Saturdays after the Fridays of staying at Mum's house, and, whenever possible, buying them from Thrift Books on the internet. I'm ascetic, I don't care if anyone's not ascetic, and I'm happy with my life. I'm wanting to sell all my worldly possessions and make enough money for $330 Puritanical clothes on the internet. I'm even willing to save my money for a Puritan hat on the internet. The things I'm buying are too expensive which is why my mother will put a little extra money in my income to help me. I know it sounds like I need a lot of money but I'm content with less. I'll be selling my blue dinner suit jacket and keep the rest of my suit jackets since I'm not supposed to have anything splendid, costly and elaborate. My life, as from the 'Doctrine And Covenants', is to avoid any luxuries, abundance and valuables, and, I'm pleased with my lot, I'm happy, without a single pleasure (and any sex involved wouldn't be a pleasure since I can't do pornography or have sex with prostitutes), and, as Mormons misinterpret the 'Doctrine And Covenants', I can masturbate, but I can't imagine anything obscene as any fantasy. Besides that, it's not about sex, it's the ten virtues (faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, and diligence), and slothfulness and uncleanliness aren't allowed, therefore certain laws of the land are virtues, and listening to mediaeval holy songs are virtues. I'm a Mormon but I don't agree with the simplistic interpretations of Joseph Smith's books that the other Mormons make, and I don't go to the church. We're not supposed to have Jell-O, rich cakes, whipped cream, or croissants, but wholesome herbs (not drugs), vegetables, fruits, grapes, grains and for mild drinks, barley, and not hot drinks, wine or strong drink, like it says in 'Doctrine And Covenants'. That probably means no coffee, but it doesn't mean no drinks of tea, since it's not a strong drink. And I probably shouldn't have cola drinks, since these are strong drinks, but (it has caffeine in it) I can have Mountain Dew. I chose this Christian sect because it's special, I have a special diet right here as it is, without punishing myself, meat is to be eaten sparingly, wheat for man, corn for the ox, oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and swine, and other grains for man, barley for mild drinks. All grains are for man (which isn't obvious but I can eat oats, corn and rye if I want). I also chose Joseph Smith's original Mormonism and gave up James Harmston's Mormonism because the latter is changed from the original Word of Wisdom. James Harmston's Mormonism is The True And Living Church Of Jesus Christ Of Saints Of The Last Days, but the Mormonism I follow isn't a Mormon sect, and is from The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. And I'm happy with all this, combined with this, I choose to follow Puritanism. I'm doing all this to not live in luxury and to be religious for reasons beyond your understanding and reasons I can't explain, is any of this normal?

    So you are in a cult, trying to live a simple life, without luxury and money. To me it's not normal... A life without wealth, houses, boats, cars, whiskey, love and sex is not a life! But again, that's me.

    So whatever, you like that stuff, have fun.

    I wish I was happy with my life if you are happy with your life good for your.

    Few people are truly happy and the ones that say they are they might be lying to themselves more then they are to others.

      Trolling? I see that what I wrote was absolute perfection and you're jealous, but I know I can prevent this by not being a perfectionist.

    This post smells like a fairly convincing character sketch by LGRAS.

      Virtue and righteousness are to be done to the extreme, even by various methods of them, e.g. to, by all righteousness, holiness, lowliness of heart, meekness and longsuffering, by faith and virtue and knowledge, charity, temperance, patience, godliness, and brotherly kindness, and to simply do virtue, faith, knowledge, humility and diligence. Not to commit adultery, to love your wife with all your heart, to not speak evil of your neighbour or do him any harm, and not to steal or rob unless you repent, not to kill, and if one commits adultery and repents with all their heart, and forsakes it and not do it again, they shall receive forgiveness.

          I just want a complete moral code based purely on religion, with righteousness, virtue, and no harm or iniquities, and to do things justly.
