Does the society make a person happy, or do they make themselves happy?

What is that? The "Secret" you're talking about.

It's a book and video that has become really popular. It teaches about the law of attraction. Which basically means, the thoughts that go on inside your mind dictate your reality.
For example, if you get a bill in the mail, and you think about how angry you are that you got a bill in the mail, then you will continue to recieve more bills that you don't like.
But on the other hand, if you think about how happy you are that you got something, or visualize yourself getting happiness, wealth, or having anything you desire, then your mind will become attracted to that thing and it will subconsciously create a way for you to attain it.
...there's definitely some truth to all that.

So if I imagine myself liking school (which is almost impossible for me) I will start to really like it and start going more?

The events in our lives shape our emotions... so when something happens that makes you really sad and upset, the most you can do is try to look at things from a different perspective in order to make the best of it... i.e. you're not really making yourself "happy", but rather you can make yourself "not as sad". But you can't change the situation... you can't be "happy" about a loved one's death. Just my opinion... hope it makes sense to you.
I also don't buy that bullshit they try to sell you in that book/movie "The Secret". Anyone who really believes that shit is just giving themselves false hope with an overly optimistic outlook that's distant from reality.

Bro... they tried to say that if you drive into a parking lot and you believe that you'll find an open spot, then you'll find one. Let's say there are 100 total spots, and 100 cars entered before you and are all parked... no matter how much you fucking think or meditate, nothing will change the fact that all spots are taken. Certain things people have a personal power over, and certain things they don't. In your example, liking school is possible because that's all you... creating an open parking spot when there isn't one, isn't. And that's the bullshit they try to feed you.

That didn't make much sense. You will continue to receive more bills regardless... I don't know how forcing yourself to like paying bills will bring you wealth or anything else you desire LOL.... you can't subconsciously create a way to attain things if they're not attainable. If you want money, you go fucking work. All those people buying lottery tickets are attracted to the jackpot, but just because their minds are attracted to it, doesn't mean they're all going to win. Like I said before... some things are within your reach and control, and some aren't.... lying to yourself isn't going to help you.
