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....

interesting.
i think, keep contemplating over and over sustainable happiness, may lead to sustainable "unhappiness".
to deal with the law of diminishing returns, can we sustainably adjust the comtemplation level in order to get closer to the happiness?
