In reply to happiness...., posted by obsidian on March 16, 2010, at 22:29:58
sid,
Frankly, when I hear stuff like that, my hackles rise. P*sses me off. Life is infinietly more complex than that. However, I still fall for it because, being a good little american, I've internalized the message.
I agree w/ emmanuel--well-put.
Well, and happiness, what is it? Absence of suffering? A modest ratio? Something to chase, possess, grab? (Oh dear, somebody stop me.)
Thinking of a Bjork song, "Violently Happy".
