~Take your time

I wonder when they'll stop this completely annoying and pointless tradition of changing the clocks by an hour twice a year.

~On Happiness

Just what is currently flying around in my head...

Happiness is something only recognized when there is a comparable negative extreme in your reality. You don't know happiness, unless you've felt, and can recall, something which felt just as bad as the good feels good. It ceases to be "happiness", when it's constant. You either feel things, or your don't. "Numb", and not feeling pain, is not "happy". Not ever feeling negative emotion isn't "happiness", it's "shutting down". Feeling "happiness" involves involves actual feeling. In order to actually feel, you have to care. If you don't care, that's apathy, not happiness. If you do care, then you can feel happiness and/or pain, depending on your current reality. If you change your mind, and alter your perception, that is delusion, not reality. Reality involves the rest of the world too.

If you overprotect yourself from pain, you will not know true happiness.
