i'll be seeing you, in all the old familiar places that this heart of mine embraces all day through. in that small cafe, the park across the way, the children's carousel, the chesnut trees, the wishin' well. i'll be seeing you, in every lovely summer's day, in everything that's light and gay, i'll always think of you that way.

i'll find you in the morning sun, and when the night is new, i'll be looking at moon, but i'll be seeing you.

i've come to realize that it isn't all that necessary. i'm happy in my life right now, and i'm wondering if the things i thought were bringing me the most happiness lately, are really keeping me from being the most happy i can be. in philosophy, we're studying aristotle's virtue theory, and utilitarianism, and it really makes you think. moral behavior is defined as virtuous behavior, which is defined as behavior that ultimately leads to either your long-term happiness, or the general majority's long-term happiness. a lot of times, to pursue and acheive eudaimonia, you need to stop and think about whether your life is really leading in that direction, or if your behavior is less than virtuous.
