Science, Religion, Politics and in the pursuit of truth – HappyPsychotic

Sometimes I get frustrated with people that don’t have the “big picture” intelligence like I do, but then sometimes I see that they are happier than I am, and I wonder if I would maybe like to give away my intelligence so I could be happier? (however disillusioned that happiness appears to be from here)

Taken in its widest sense, a spot of do-it-yourself can be a way out. But the fact is that nothing can halt the ever-increasing recurrence of those moments when your total isolation, the sensation of an all-consuming emptiness, the foreboding that your existence is nearing a painful and definitive end all combine to plunge you into a state of real suffering.

I noticed during my trips with Max that almost everyone here seems to help everyone else out without thinking twice about it…if you are struggling with a heavy bag, others offer to help, if you are filling your motorcycle tires with air at a gas station, people will help. It makes for such a friendly atmosphere, everyone doing favours for others, knowing that they will be helped if they ever need it.

Do One Thing Every Day that Makes You Happy
I believe that the simple and straightforward interpretation here is to take some time on a regular basis to do something enjoyable and this will help you have a happy life. Thinking about it like this, I would agree wholeheartedly, but there are some caveats…

If someone automatically assumes you are lying, is it because they are so used to lying themselves that they see lies everywhere? Can there be any other explanation?
