If the World were flat........
Wednesday, July 23, 2025
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life...........
Well, that's a tricky, individual, tough for some, impossible for some, seemingly cinchy for others.
My favorite customer service line.... "Are you on drugs? You're always happy."
Sixty-three years ago things were a tad different... Jimmy Soul, in his song "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life" - replied with "Never make a pretty woman your wife, so for my point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you." Wowzer, best left alone, to not comment.
I loved my boss when I was a kid. He literally had a tough time reading or writing, entering our hours, adding them up -no reading into how he got there, who's fault, if anyone, was his incomplete education - but he was such a great teacher of "the right way to do thing/s." Occasionally too, he would offer up a humorous idea on life......"Get you one (a partner) you don't haveta shake the sheets to find." Again, we're talking the 60's... around the time Buffalo Springfield told us "For What It's Worth."
The above two paragraph are both 'partner centered.' I loved me some Logic class in college. I think I even broke trend (C+ student) and got a B+ in the class. Dr David was the prof, a gifted linguist, nice nice dude, and........ happy. After going over something we kinda ascertained would be on the next test, or, was deemed "important in life, remember this" he'd turn, swivel his head left to right and offer "Dig?"
Logic, from the two previous paragraphs would suggest........ Partner = Happiness, or requisite of.
I ain't calling BS, but....... I ain't buying it. VICTOR! That reminds me of the jealous feller who didn't go for higher education berating someone who did. Of, the assumption, someone with money automatically equates to snootiness, arrogance.
Forrest's mom would say "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Or mebbe want.
We all (that's not a good start to a sentence if one is being logical, but)... we all are different in our likes. Who, what, where, when, we like.
Sure, a lot of people equate happiness to absolutely having a relationship. I get it, er, Dig. Maybe, maybe not there is jealousy involved when saying "I don't believe it's an absolute necessity." Some choose alone. Others, find themselves alone, desire not to be, yet, continue on the path of life, smiling, being nice, kind, ENJOYING.
People... people who need people. Some ain't. Some could live an entire life with earbuds in. Then there's tweeners........ I like golf and maybe three people.
Happy is as happy does.
So Victor...... if you're so smart, and, if I were sitting in a logic class (blog) you taught, I would then gather "to have a good life you must be happy."??????
I kinda think so. Things, any - things, having or not having, shouldn't stay in the way of happiness, the ability to attain it.
Like mosta the time, I'm not really sure what I'm trying to say... or why... but, I personally enjoy times of happiness. Fer sure, it ain't possible 24/7, every single day, hour, second, phase, month, year, situation, flat tire, fork in the road ("Take it" says Yogi Berra)..
If you'ns are like Forrest and Jenny "Me and Jenny was like peas and carrots"... or, ya feel like running (took Forrest 3 years, two months, 14 days and 16 hours before he figured it out.. or.. . "I'm pretty tired.. .I think I'll go home now."
"Always be able to look back and say, at least I didn't lead no humdrum life." Forrest Gump.
Unless, of course, humdrum suits you. Mebbe makes you happy. Some are happy being the drink, not necessarily being the straw that stirs the drink.
It takes all kinds. It takes a village. Or not. Homesteaders wanna be home instead. Screw traffic, people, taxes, bills, hustle, bustle, do this don't do that can't you read the sign.
Give me your head with hair. Logic say "Hair = Happy." Eh, I dunno, Bezos, Bruce Willis, The Rock, Patrick Stewart, yada, may think otherwise.
"I don't know if we have a destiny, or, we're all just floating around accidental - like on a breeze.. but I think maybe, it's both.............. some people don't think miracles happen, well, they do... Momma always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on.... You have to do the best with what God gave you...... What's normal anyways?.... What's my destiny momma? You're gonna have to figure that one out for yourself. " Forrest, and his momma.
That's all I have to say about that.
Don't worry......... Be happy.
Dig?
Love, Victurd
