Well find out who they are and tell them to stop it at once!
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

I would put that in the same category as "surround yourself with people who agree with you". I would rather be surrounded by people who challenge me into making me a better version of me, Not sure if being happy all the time would do that.

OK, but would being "a better version of me" not make you happy ?

Happy does not imply wealth or success, merely being comfortable and content with ones situation.

Yes, but it would only work one way, making me happy would not make me a better me.

Not sure if that would be all I would ask for to regard myself has happy, I would like some progress and achievement. What you describe sounds a bit too placid for my liking.

Possibly. :)

Is it not a continuous process, happy today, progress and achievement tomorrow, still happy ?

For those who are able to tolerate Genesis, in whatever form, (and perhaps even some who can't) can I suggest you might give a listen to some of the music by the band Lifesigns, I hear influences from Genesis, Pink Floyd and Yes.

I like it but you don't have to of couse.



Sorry, I couldn't resist!
