it seems that the times when I feel the happiest, a lot of people around me are having bad times. i wish i could get to the point where everything is completely positive — or just to a point where everything negative can be ignored. but i can’t ignore my friends, or my acquaintances, or even the blogs of the people i read.

maybe it’s supposed to be this way. maybe there always has to be an even spread of goodness and badness — or maybe i feel good because subconsciously i know everyone else is doing badly.

that would be SO completely evil if it were true. :P

I think it’s that when you’re feeling down you tend to feel that your own problems are more important than other peoples problems, even though they are your good friends. Then, when you’re feeling happy, you actually have the ability to recognize that others around you are having their bad times and what not. Anyway, I’m glad you’re feeling happy and stuffs!! :D

I completely agree with you. Just recently, I lost my wallet and I was feeling like shit. Problems around me didn’t seem so important, mine was the most important. However, as I tried my best to be cheery about it (or perhaps cynical), I kept telling myself, it is not the worst thing that could happen. It hadto happen sometime (well maybe not) but if it had to, this time wouldn’t be so bad. I didn’t have anything in the wallet that was irreplacable, or critical to saving someone’s life, or something that could hurt someone else. I just lost a few pieces of plastic and some $$. That’s all. Life goes on, I move on.

My problem was just but one of many and mine, while shitty, wasn’t that bad.

I’m happy that you’re happy right now. Hopefully it lasts as long as possible.

Take care.

Jon

First of all Kim, the subconscious is bullshit; invented by a coke addict who wanted to have sex with his mother (Froid). So you don’t have to worry about it.
I get happy while everyone else seems to be down. But I don’t worry about why I’m happy because I’m fucking HAPPY! It seems like when your happy the people who are down wanna drag you with them. I have slowly discovered that there is a way to beat that. Simply acknowledge the fact that your perception of life is your own choice. Sure it is difficult when really bad shit happens, but I think with good effort you can train yourself to be happy almost all the time.

whoa! man, those were the days…playing MASH and getting all embarrased…now my choices of a car are dune buggys and tricycles, and only models make the spouse list…but the best part is telling the masher WHEN to stop the circles, thinking that your response would somehow contribute to the game…thus, improving the chances of you getting that girl or boy you liked ehehe…

Don’t listen to that guy who says the sub-conscious is bullshit. There is ample evidence that it (or at least something like it)exists, and Freud did revolutionize (although a lot of his other theories were thrown away, his phrases including anal-retentive, penis envy, oedipus complex are all still being used, and you can’t argue sexuality is a huge part of society) the field of psychology.

As for being a coke addict, who cares about his personal life. He wrote world-changing books that influenced his field and entered himself into modern language (eg freudian slip). He might have been a coke user but then so were a lot of the world’s elite. Have you heard of George Bush? Doesn’t that make you scared? And why should we care that people do drugs anyway? Look at Winston Churchhill the chronic alcoholic who saved the world practically from Hitler who is like a boyscout gone wrong.

Wow. This is really beautiful. My first time here and I’m appalled. Your words are captivating and your design is equally mind-boggling. I’m linking you. :)

The only evidence of a subconscious is that of one that controls biological systems like heart functions and other internal systems. No one has proven that there is a an area of thought that is his hidden from the conscious. The subconscious is Froid’s mad religion that has helped warp psychology not improve it. If psychology were a science, which it very well could be with a little fine tuning, the so called "theories" of Froid would be thrown out because they rest on shaky foundations. I mentioned his cocaine addiction because I believe it had an influence on his madnes: making him beleive himself superior. Those little phrases like "penis envy" are not usually used by modern psychologists because they are sexist. I believe that Froid is applying his own sexual problems on the masses to help himself feel normal(oedipus). Now I get very controversial: Anyone who needs a subconscious or any other imagined force that one is unaware of and has supposed massive control of their lives (god) is unable to take responsibility for their own actions and is week: needs a higher power or an "authority".

Hey I think those guys are trying to prove it true or something. I think they’re saying you’re evil. Well that’s a good thing anyway.
