I always say if you want to be happy you need to practice being happy.
What??? Your absolute favorite isn't #59? Blasphemy!
ReplyDeleteI know, I know. But smiling at random strangers is a guilty pleasure of mine. Some people smile back, some absolutely refuse and then some aren't sure what to do. I absolutely love it when they look at you suspiciously.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteWanted to stop by and drop you a comment following the discussion of your book on Hemant's site.
It's rather ironic how "unhappy" many people got after reading your passage.
I like your site and think the idea of happiness through humanism is a good one. Being one of those secular Buddhist sorts, it makes a lot of sense.
You're now on my RSS reader, so keep posting.
Hi Ron - glad to meet you! And yes, some of those folks clearly aren't happy. but maybe being angry makes them happy. Who knows. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are a Secular Buddhist. Lot of Humanists are actually. There probably should be a movement for them/us.
