Life, to me, isn't simply about being happy, or simply breathing, or having a pulse... life is about experience. Without experiences, without highs and lows, without the full spectrum of human emotion and experiences, life is nothing. Simple happiness isn't enough to define what you ought to do with your life. What we should be aiming for is simply to experience. We can try and decide what makes us happy once we know something of the world, once we know what we can find as fulfilling, but at least in this stage of our lives, the true purpose is to experience. Being happy should be a goal, but it can't be the only concern in your life, or you may miss a lot. Life should be about learning of the world, not necessarily just doing what makes us happy. If you're happy out of ignorance of the world, do you have a right to be happy?
I AM GOD! THOU ART GOD! ALL THAT GROKS IS GOD!
