No formula for happiness

Beer is an excelent lubricant, it's amazing what slides out.

Doc
haha
which reminds me of the Monty python sendup of Australia.

"Wine connoisseurs will be particularly impressed by the Chateau Nut-saint de Wagga wagga. A fine Australian table wine that really opens the sluice gates at both ends.



PS. doc. i did not realize Italian navy in '39 was so well endowed with excellent heavy cruisers.. [an aside]
We should really play hearts of Iron 3 online. Just you and me. [prive game]

The local Pa. Wine and Spirits shop sells some Australian wines, they have a Kangroo on the label?

The Zara class was my favorite, well balanced and attractive, their one weekness was not being able to stand up to 15" BB fire.

Send me a link, and be ready to explain what it is and how to do it, I'm not a gamer in any sense of the word, and it's been at least 20 years since I even played chess.

OK, what do you recomend as a good sweet wine that is exported to the US.

Buddha is said to have a pretty solid formula if any. But it doesn't make too much sense to most people.

THE EIGHTFOLD PATH is as complicated as the ten commandments that Jesus made into two commands. of right thinking and right doing.

even famed stand up comic George Carlin noted that the ten commandments were redundant as is the eightfold path.

they all boil down to

love truth and righteousness above all else ... right thinking

and express that thinking as you

love your neighbor as yourself ... right doing

it really is as simple as that

people make it complicated as they try to justify doing unto others that which they would condemn others for if they did it to themselves...

Actually, all the message, that is immediately above, is merely the constipated dream, of some fundamental particles, known as quirks, er, ah, quacks, no... wait... yes, rather, quarks, that actually don't exist at all, at least in any meaningful way.

[Hjarloprillar]

Well im stuffing my face with bacon and cheese.. im happy

quarks. And thus protons and electrons do not either.. but what is fission but neutrons.?
what makes a neutron.? Is it a thing in itself. I think not.

Ask the residences of Nagasaki.

If you want SCIENCE well i can show you science.. your call. How we have used those particles you call illusory.Those fragments of theory that enable protons , electrons and neutrons.
For eveverything is made of something smaller or sideways to energyxMassx rules.

No formula for happiness.

The ss-18 warhead streaked down like a meteor from 125k feet.
The blunt end leading the way.
Ablation.
'Ceramic' quickly learned by man.
Accelerometers now came into play.. 3 booster burns. is a lot to contend with.
final arming sequence.
The BUS.. has adjusted most problems.. but.
Two an air pressure in nose and a radar unit.
clocked to det at 4500 feet. But nickle iron plate in arctic had sent it 200 meters off.
As warhead passed 4497 feet detonators began a fast burn.
As the shell of high explosives began a fast burn 2 feet later in fall burn was over.

The wall of pressure pushed the U235 in front of in in at many times speed of sound.
he u235 neutrons began to cascade.
At 4494 feet it went critical.

2500 kilotons results in 8 feet of descent. Everything in 5 miles is incinerated.

Fictional imaginary particles

Actually you blew it again, but even a brain of my great magnitude would not have known otherwise.
And here it is: What I said had absolutely nothing to do with the topic, but rather some medicine he asked for. Now I'm done playing medic, so lets see if he's cured.

All though many people gain happiness through different medium, My greatest source of happiness is when I have impressed myself because I have obtained a desired result through personal effect, such as I have worked well and I got a few more repairs for my business because I worked well and was a good person and was rewarded.
Most if my happiness is obtained with the obtainment of victory through focus and dedication.

You cannot be unhappy living in Disney Land.

Assuming happiness could be defined sufficiently specifically there could be. All spiritual matters must account for three contingencies, salience, perspective, and priority.

a post on happiness triggered a thought.

that song i heard near 30 years back,

"There's no formula for for happiness that guaranteed to work..."

The formala is 'Know Thyself'.

As Meher Baba says "True happiness is Oneness. Wherever there is duality there is trouble."

I'm baffled as to why so many philosophers only study a little corner of the topic. I have to conclude it's to with indoctrination so blame the professors.

Mister Baba is worthless. We are embodied beings, all of us. That means we are subject to perspective. Perspective IS duality. Perspective IS self.
