If I don’t pursue happiness, will I be happy?

Wow. What a mess that original comment was. I need to proof read.

I got the gist of what you were saying and completely agree 😉
You probably won’t be as happy? 😀

Stop searching. You already have what you’re looking for.

Just to throw this out there… this wasn’t specifically a question I was asking myself, but a quote from a podcast on the the HBO show, Raised by Wolves. I can’t remember if they were talking about the humans or the AI robots when one of them posed that question.
I think they were talking about the robots.

Audio (MP3): 20200920 - About as stupid as the law allows
Well, what we got here is a phone call I had with my good friend Jimi, recorded earlier in the month. I mention or quote him from time to time on my blog and in my podcast. And he’s been a good friend for a close to three decades.
I met Jimi in the early 90s in Iowa when I first got sober. Stayed friends with him in the 2000s while I relapsed in Oregon. And then of course he was there after I sobered up again in Illinois in the early 2010s.
Jimi’s a saint and a scholar. He’s the big brother I never had. He’s made me think and laugh and let me in on the life secret, “everything is going to be okay.” Because… “the best is yet to come.”
So my thought going into the phone call was that it would be a test run recording, check audio levels, and see how well we both did under the mic.
Topics include Maggie, COVID and quarantine, online video calls, and experiencing the moment.

Yesterday I was reading in a book the therapist recommended that certain types of people have a preference for reflecting deeply on experiences and that reflection is almost more valuable than the original experience.
And as I was reviewing this today I thought to myself “Yes! I enjoy doing certain things just so I can think about them later.“

I think it was Socrates who muttered, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Wanna know how to make life extraordinary?
See the very best in people.
Don’t think about that anymore otherwise you’ll obscure the miracle.

Some people are born into rich families. Some are born into super rich ones. Some people are born into normal, mediocre lives where nothing happens and they never go any where.
Some people are born to awesome parents and only end up pissing all over and pissing away that unconditional love. Some people are born to crackheads and they end up shooting greater hoops than I ever will.
Some people are born to tragic circumstances and their lives will always suck. Some people will live hopeless lives where a better one is seen but never within reach. The end.
Some people are born deaf or blind or crippled.
Happiness is hard enough to come by when indifferent luck initially defines us all.
So I don’t give a fuck about same sex marriages, or what color a person’s skin is, or what financial bracket they live in, or if they’re dumb as bricks.
Happiness is just hard enough already.

You forgot people who are taught by their families to lie, cheat, steal and hurt, and go on to do this, and then teach their children the same. Yes that exists.

It’s not so much as forgot as intentionally left out 😊

Yes happiness is hard. My parents taught me that anyone who says money can’t buy happiness is an idiot. After 60 years on this planet I fully believe this. Spend some time with the downtrodden in life. You quickly realize their life would be far better with more money.
The topic of the day is are the rich by nature super evil? Can you get to be a multi millionaire or a billionaire and still have ethics and compassion for other human beings or can only a true psychopath become super rich? For sure a good deal of their rich pass onto their children the idea that because of their wealth they are better and far above others of lesser means.
