"The Workers are Going home.."

[_rubix_cube_]

Long day. I was very grouchy today, especially after school. I don't feel particularly bad about it, though. Being grouchy is just a part of life. You can't be happy all the time. That's just not right. Kind of creepy, actually

... What's wrong with being happy all the time? :-/

[_rubix_cube_]

Plenty of things.

1)It's annoying to others.
2)Someone who cannot feel sadness, loneliness, or other unpleasant feeling is obviously not human. Someone once said, maybe it was the Buddha, that to live is to suffer, but that by suffering, you are achieving a greater purpose.
3)I quite distinctly remember you shaking with some sort of excitement or anxiety over what else but track. Thus, you are not happy all the time, and equally thus, you are human.

life is pain what do you expect.

buddha is also bullshit.

and i don't see how "it's annoying to others" qualifies with why being happy all the time is a fault. maybe you meant superficial happiness, but i don't know, i am just assuming. so don't take this offensively, because most sophomores tend to.

Nah, not offended. I figured you'd pop up sooner or later.
Superficial happiness was kind of my intent, but it's hard to put a finger on. I think there's something between being genuinely happy and being superficially happy, and maybe that's annoying.
