230424 What I learned in my studies this morning 3
I gots the classic
Blues rollin' in the background.
T Bone. Etta. BB. Blind.
Thoughts:
It took me way, waaay too long to realize that happiness doesn't mean pleasure. It's not about fun. It's not about food or sex or drink or drugs —cheap substitutes for actual happiness.
Only to find that real happiness, for me anyway, comes from being a good person. From loving others. From helping. From making a meaning for myself and living that meaning as best I can.

And I used to think that happiness was a destination. It's a place (or state) I could achieve and then everything would be all right. Then I would finally be done and could sit back and enjoy it.
