lazy easter weekend

obvious

have been contemplating "happiness", or bliss, or contentment, or any one of those words and concepts. mostly about why, and how.

a couple somewhat obvious observations, but in any case the result of a good bit of pondering:

1. probably, being happy is better than being unhappy, under almost all circumstances (except in those sylvia plathic instances)

2. if #1 is true, then the search is for sustainable happiness. the question that needs to be asked is whatever it is we are seeking - more money, greater achievements, etc, lead to sustainable happiness, or these are still subject to the law of diminishing returns, and inherently we are doomed.

hmm....
