Is my ultimate goal in life, to be happy?
What is happiness?
What do I need to be happy?
I feel happy right now, at this very moment as Im typing. Is this the state which I will spend the rest of my life chasing?
Is there a right way to live life? the life that grants you the most happiness? What if happiness came in a pill?
Reminds me of Huxley's Brave New World. Individual happiness is irrevelent in the historical scope of things, but its important to us, the individuals.
Are you happy? A voice from your 23 year old self, asking you, did you reach your goals and did the accomplishments bring you happiness?
Is our youth the happiest times of our lives? Im afraid Im not as wise as you. I cant see as far.
----------------------------------------------------
I wonder what its like to be married... or to live with someone in a husband/wife kind of setting. For some odd reason I picture a bolt of lightning coming down from the sky and BAM, you are deemed an 'adult'.
I certainly hope being adult doesnt mean 'to be jaded with the world and life in general'. "Stop dreaming and grow up" is a common phrase, it implies dreamers are children. I guess Im a child.
"If you sit on your ass and dream, you'll just sit on your ass and dream."
wise words my friend.
Life can be worse than Hell and more intoxicating than Heaven. The variety of existence.
We all march to the same pace, time passes at the same speed for you and for me. And when Im 25 years older, you will be aswell. My generation. Our generation.
Five more years till 10 year reunion. A decade. Feels like flying.
If my life was a landscape, I would like to fly over it to some good trance.
Do you believe I can make a difference in your life? That my ripple will affect yours?
We all walk a well beaten path, treaded by countless others before us. If their experience can speak, I think they will say reassuringly that we are not alone.
