The more I think about it, it seems that long-term happiness is something many people spend their lives seeking OR they believe it’s something they used to have and lost.

That makes me wonder if we are truly ever happy? Or if it’s something that is always just out of reach (in the future or in the past).

You don’t win people over by getting upset at them. I can only hope you find peace in your life eventually. I remember being in my militant atheist phase.

Good luck.

It’s too late for that. At this point we’re stuck with damage control.

How presumptuous of you to think you know what I need in my life.

What’s your current phase? Stoned-to-the-gills, new-agey feel-good hippie?
