Quote of the day:
"A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it."
~ Albert Einstein ((who apparently wasn't much of a tipper))
I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes people happy – and the realization that I cannot MAKE anyone else be happy is something that always sits a little uneasily on me. This realization is something that puzzles me, mainly because I think someone can make another person unhappy and seems to me that you can make someone unhappy then you should be able to make someone happy then? Certainly you can make someone uncomfortable; you can make someone poor; you can make someone busy; you can make someone tired – all of these things all factor into what I would call being unhappy because they induce anxiety, stress worry, and concern, but I guess when you come right down to it? Although you can impact an individual’s environment, you cannot determine how they are going to feel about what you are doing or not doing. It all gets a little fuzzier when it comes to relationships, doesn’t it? Lies, infidelity, abuse – these things certainly are generally held to be negatives that will make the other person[s] in a relationship with you miserable – I know it would for me. But on the other hand, for some folks who are into humiliation and pain, it is something that they crave and they would be miserable without it. Conversely, while devotion, attentiveness, kindness are generally considered to be desirable traits in a relationship, having them present doesn’t mean you are happy with that person. Like I said, I find it puzzling. I’m not even sure I can make me happy at times! Maybe I need to add glitter….
