So, I'm a Buddhist now.

[Rip]

why are you insisting that happiness is all around us but that we can't have true happiness without it being something your new religion has defined as a separate super secret special happiness?! why doesn't this sound like a cult to you?! why are you only open to buddhist ideas being sources of potentially greater happiness now, doesn't this negate the potential of every single other thought process?! how is that even you know what

no

never mind

seriously

I really

REALLY

don't care

Are you guys just not reading what I'm writing?

You very well may be full happy, *right now*. There are various things that we draw happiness from: loved one's, sensory experience, personal accomplishments, etc.

What I'm saying is there are multiple wells with which to fill your happiness "cup" - however many of them, no matter how deep they are will run dry *eventually* because that's how the universe functions. That's the law of entropy.

So the idea is to find a well inside yourself that never runs out, and can't be destroyed or lost.

So you aren't "more happy" you're happy more often and more consistently because you can always fill your cup from that well, when some of the others run dry.

Make sense?

There is a subtle bigotry in what you are doing Desp but I am having trouble putting it into words. One of those little unintentional things.

I have absolutely no idea where you're getting that from. I'm honestly kind of beside myself at how thoroughly you guys continue to misread and ignore everything I'm saying.

RIP: YOU SAID MY HAPPINESS IS NOT REAL

Me: No, your happiness is real, all happiness is real.

RIP: YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THAT MY HAPPINESS IS REAL, THAT'S BULLSHIT BUT LET'S SKIP THAT.

Me: Wait, why should we skip that? Why is that bullshit?

RIP: FUCK YOU FOR TELLING ME MY HAPPINESS IS NOT REAL.

It's rather frustrating.

That said, I may be making an error. Let me know if you're able to put it into words and I'll consider it.

I think you're making assumptions about people, their lives, and the way they think that are unfounded. I don't know if I will be able to figure out how to explain it. Like, way back when you said this:
