It's like that Buddhist saying about wanting what you have rather than having what you want.<br /><br />The happiest people tend to be the ones who are easiest to satisfy and as the poem illustrates: the less you want, the more you have. ...?Baron Hashbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319769071000729969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36259532.post-56131502454726421222007-01-26T16:25:00.000+00:002007-01-26T16:25:00.000+00:00BTW:That poem is so cute!It's not exactly Elisabet...BTW:That poem is so cute!It's not exactly Elisabeth Barret Browning or Shakespeare, but it's refreshingly "happy".

Baron,I like y...Thanks for the intervention,Jay ;-)<br />Baron,I like your thinking.The concept of "in-built-happiness" if you wish..however happiness to me is that astonishing reality of well being which persists even when life is,quite frankly,shit. The unchangability of God's nature,His constant,unconditional Love and Grace are what inspires my happiness through the thick and the thin...that's me.The Wee Italian Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14210697968385958791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36259532.post-80230865129158931002007-01-26T11:46:00.000+00:002007-01-26T11:46:00.000+00:00It's an interesting idea...

'Happyness' is not a proper word just like 'pursuing happyness (or happiness)' is also impossible. Happiness is something we have inside us, it's a state of mind not. We might not be conscious of it but whether we are happy or not is a decision that we all make each day. If the glass is half empty or half full is up to you. There is nothing to pursue, it's already there we just have to see it. The poor and the afflicted are indeed blessed because they are equally capable of being happy as the rich, famous and powerful. <br />My second favorite poem:<br /><br />http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/2579.html<br /><br />Also, while I'm preaching my nonsense, yes, you should definitely keep at it. If you don't live and love unconditionally, if you don't take the risks you won't experience these things which make life so good. We all have a lot to learn from your enthusiasm and passion for life!Baron Hashbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319769071000729969noreply@blogger.com
