Not ruled by how many or how few consider themselves happy.<BR/><BR/>I myself stay away from calling myself happy in this world we live in. Contented, maybe. Or maybe, just less being unhappy.<BR/><BR/>One's entire life is a journey and a time of trial. Being such, hard to imagine real happiness being mixed in there.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe what we mean here is just humanly happy,however fleeting and transitory,and just less of anything and everything bad, negative, or anything causing unhappiness.Amadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040096079637569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933501.post-1140257154092410502006-02-18T18:05:00.000+08:002006-02-18T18:05:00.000+08:00Good point you make here, that liberals, especiall...Good point you make here, that liberals, especially the hard left as you say, never seem happy. For the most part, these glum people don't believe in God proclaiming themselves secular humanists. Conservatives mostly identify themselves as religious, whether rich or poor. There are also rich liberals, so having money is not the answer, perhaps being grounded in God is!PhilippinesPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921214743105919057noreply@blogger.com
