I've just had an epiphany.  

Posted by bernardo

I just realized that I can't make everyone happy. I've realized that not all people deliberately set out to fuck me over, but it just happens, it's not that they didn't try to make me hapy, but rather everyone couldn't be happy, and I ended up the unhappy. Although I seem to always get the crap end of the deal, I've realized that it's best that way. I see myself happy, when I see other people happy. It's nice knowing that you've helped someone else out, except it's someone you hate.

I realized that not everything can go my way. I realized that I should stop bitching about things that don't go my way. I realized that I should stop interfering in what other people want to do. They should live their lives how they wish. It's hard enough, it'll make it worse if I go around making it even worse. So I'll try my best to do what I see fit, but I'll try my best not to mess things up and not overreact. Although to me it may not seem as if I'm overreacting, it'll seem to others that it does.

That makes me think of :
"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool. Than to speak and remove all doubt"

I guess that's how it's gotta be for now. I shouldn't stress myself with what other people are doing. It's their lives, I'm not here to make it worse. I'd rather them happy, than me.

"And it was at that time that I thought about Thomas Jefferson writing that Declaration of Independence. Him saying that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I thought about how he knew to put the 'pursuit' in there, like no one can actually have happiness. We can only pursue it."

There is some truth in what you're saying.

But pursuing happiness? That depends on the person. This is only my opinion, but the person has the ability to make their own happiness. The pursuing part would be deciding whether to use that ability or not.

So that's why I'm always happy. Wheeeee.
