the world without humans would be just a planet, wouldn't it?
I was attempting to say that humans need to be a little kinder to each other- they should be more apt to spread happiness than the kind of "news" that we currently receive...
How many more news stories are there about fires, murders, and other atrocities being spread by mankind aginst mankind vs stories about the people who are actually spreading messages of joy, goodness, or giving?
I guess when I say "world",I am saying that there should theoretically be more appreciation for someone like you who would be willing to be outside of the Happiness Machine if it meant getting more people willing to consider being a part of a more joyful place instead of perpetuating the idea of doom.
I don't happen to find ultimate happiness to be my goal in life; ultimate happiness would lead to desensitization and it would cease to be happiness, in my opinion. My personal goal is to be able to accept the good with the bad (the happy and the sad)without falling apart because something bad happened and I lost sight of the happy which may be coming to me next...
I've made a mess out of your post, haven't I?
That really wasn't my intent.
