not thinking of anyone specific but there's been a lot of complaining around me lately. a lot which also, can be solved easily, in my opinion. come to think of it, maybe i'm being more rational than my usual or maybe i've finally learned to be realistic. that would be a plus... either way, being more realistic and/or rational about it, life is simple, most of the time. it goes back to a theory that people who don't really have problems like to complicate things just so they have something to worry/complain/be unhappy about. if happiness slapped us right across the face, would we receive it with open arms? and how can i write about happiness slapping? wouldn't it make more sense if happiness came running down the corridor, arms spread out, waiting to hug us? is happiness an easy-to-accept sensation? is happiness a mentality? an attitude? is happiness at all aggressive?
why do people have such a hard time attaining it or why do people talk endlessly about it? why is it that difficult for us?
sorry, i'm all questions today... i've been thinking and feeling very happy recently, for a while now. i feel i'm more rational and realistic. less emotional. interesting... gaining some stereotypically masculine qualities in my life... hee hee... anyways, i think the tranquility, a bit of routine, some creativity in daily life, music, reading, letters from nora and a good attitude (and very necessary: some sunshine!) make me an all around happy camper. i like it and wanna keep it that way.
