I've had lots of therapy, at this point I'd rather have the money by far I think (no, no and heck no, I don't' want to scrimp and save and drive myself nutty about finances just to afford $160 or $120 a week sessions or something. Just no. I haven't always paid that much of course, as I've had old therapists that charge much less but that pretty much is the going rate). It hasn't helped all that much and has done maybe as much damage as good. Your mileage may vary.

Happy is good, content is fine too.Originally Posted by iris lilies
You can have purpose and meaning in life and still be happy.
Trifecta!
What is "being happy"? Does it even repay thought? One mostly just is, moment by moment, ups and downs. Though there may be particular things one hates (one's job of course cough cough - obviously) and more diffuse things sometimes, and one may have some overarching darkness. But if one is not clinically depressed at the moment or something (obviously deeply unhappy), how would one even know if one was "happy"? Moods come and go, right? One might hate one's job though

If you are generally happy you know it. If you don't know what it is then I don't know what to say.
I don't know what it is as a general thing no. I don't know that it IS a general thing. I know there are moments when one is doing something enjoyable that may feel alright, there are moments when one is doing something purposeful that feel very good.
I'm mostly content enough, content but not ecstatic, and not without some occasional sadness too - there is plenty to get sad about sometimes, when I don't have to go to work. If I have to go to work (workdays) I am fairly miserable about it and hate the world. I don't really think doing absolutely nothing would be ideal for me though for all that, just I hate work.
I think it mostly doesn't repay thought, because I can think of little that is likely to make one more unhappy than spending time thinking about happiness, it's elusive, it comes and goes, we are not creatures that are designed to be constantly content but almost designed for a kind of discontented hunger and craving some say.

Carson to suspend his campaign. Not attending Fox debate and No Path Forward. Too little too late? Or the start of a domino effect designed to block Trump clinching a nomination? A Trump Task Force?
Very disappointing.
Seems a bit late. If you look at the results from yesterday, if The Machine Candidates had closed ranks earlier, Trump would have likely not done well at all. Cruz and Rubio are splitting too much of the vote out.
Love it.
