agree totally, I used a bike to commute for the last 20 years and I am the only one that got to work happy. I miss my commute, not many can say that.
i really believe it is the object of life. as long as its not just your own, nor at the expense of anyone else. but i agree it can only be created as a byproduct of a process, rather then as any sort of a possession you can claim to own. by process of course i mean creating and exploring, though being of actual benefit to someone else or their happiness, can certainly be part of it. (though it doesn't have to be either, as long as you're not making it worse)
Happiness is finding an old guitar I'd forgotten I own-and discovering it's still in perfect 'Drop-D' tune. [I am a VERY chuffed Puggy-I genuinely had forgotten this guitar was in the loft]
SEE? Happiness can be so real inside you,just from reading of another person's contentment. Pleased for you,Hips...nothing quite surpasses a snoring puppy in your lap,eh? ...what breed,Hip? [ Hope you have a wonderful time together,mate].
Oh,RH...what a little cutie,mate! Awww...he's a real heart-grabber,eh? I hope you're REALLY happy together,mate! [I bet you're already his slave...WHAT a cutie]
'She'...oops,sorry,RH. Bro,I am just SO pleased to read you're happy AND grinning all the time at her antics. [and don't pretend you're not...you already love her t'bits and you KNOW you'd splatter anyone that tried to hurt her] Seriously-I am GENUINELY really chuffed for you,mate.
Happiness is - having Retired Hippy's little English Bulldog as my screensaver. [which is actually true-I genuinely do...awwwww]
...seeing the bloke down the lane [who I can't stand,btw] reversing his pose-mobile into his....brick gatepost! MWAHAHAHAHAAA!
