Thanks Adscion for the comment! Everyone go visit her page and enjoy her humor and intelligence! Ok … enough kissing arse–let’s get to the meat.

I’m tired. I’m depressed. I’m loving it.

Okay, well loving is a bit of an exaggeration. Actually, I’m glad that I am feeling a bit negatively because it’s such a change from my normal mood. If I was joyful all the time, I think it would make happiness–at least my idea of it–less beautiful.

Happiness is a relative state and is directly related to contentment. There is a standard human affinity towards restlessness, and this has helped in the evolution of the species. We are not content with what we have. That is the reason we compete, experiment, and invent.

Without feelings of inadequacy, we’d languish ignorantly in a monotonous and unproductive malaise. Thank you, oh kind spirits, for gifting us with despair, so that we might realize the magnificence of joy.
