Be Happy

For the one hundredth post here on unwilling-dystopia, I just wanted to say a few things. Hopefully they're more uplifting than my usual dribble.

Concentrating on living life is far more important than trying to find the answer to all of life's big questions. Sure now and again it's nice to wonder about the origin of life or religion or life after death or something like that. But it's far more important to live life than to understand it. Just live and you'll be happy. Let come what may and work through it as you hit sticky spots. But never give up trying and never let life get you down.

I've said many a time that there are things that I've seen or experienced that I wish I hadn't. And many times when I'm in a mood I wish that I could turn back the clock and change these things.

Pain is not what life is about; so don't focus on it. Have fun. Take a walk. Hang with friends. Go to the beach. Do something you find enjoyable. And do it now while you're still young, and if you're no longer that young, still do it now before you get older.

The only limits on your happiness are your own personal fears. We must not let them get the better of us. We wage a constant war on our fear and we have to win if we want to be happy. But don't worry, we can all win. We can all be happy.

There is no one path to life, no one way to do anything. Don't let anyone tell you that the way you're doing it is wrong or improper or sinful or morally reprehensible. You listen to your heart and do what you want to do. From sunrise to sunset do what you want to do.

Let us all live together in happiness and harmony. There is a no more powerful, happy, fulfilling feeling in life than love. Indeed to be loved is the greatest gift you can receive. And it's far too rare today. So let's all try and love someone today, whether it be a spouse, family member, friend, or stranger. Then the world will be a better place and you'll be happy too.
