    I'm aware of all this, but thanks for the reminder. A drag? Not really, I'm just working on my equilibrium. It's a rocky road these days.

    Happy, sad, good, bad, up, down, light, dark, female, male, yin, yang. It's the supreme law of the universe. It's what makes life interesting.
    Not to burst any bubbles(though I relish the role of devil's advocate), but no one can be happy every moment of everyday. If they were we'd all die of sheer boredom. Even the Buddha got irritated now and again when someone kicked dirt in his rice or stepped on the back of his heels one too many times.

    Nah... Sat-Chit-Ananda... living in bliss, is not boredom... the very nature of this happiness is non-boredom. THat's why Yogananda called it EVER- NEW bliss...

    It's is possible to be happy all the time... some mystics were... there basic needs were cared for and they lived in this sat-chit-ananda.
