I think it may just be a dislocated nipple to be honest.

In that case I think it's probably wisest not to tamper with it.

It helps if you know what you're looking for.

Perfect happiness.

Perhaps I should have said: it helps if you know what you are looking for looks like. I neither know what heaven nor perfect happiness look like.

I'm sorry to hear that. You can imagine it tho, can't you? I mean, surely you know what a little happiness is like. Just imagine it more intense and longer lasting.

I daren't, In case I develop a craving for it.

There's a philosopher that says your experience will match your expectation. He basically says seek and ye shall find. I encourage it, but it's not my business.

That sounds a bit Buddhist, one of the goals of Buddhism is to not want anything, many will strive to eliminate desire.

You could spin it that way, but it sounds kinda pessimistic to me. The only reason craving it would be bad is if you can't fulfill that craving. In fact, when you're happy, you don't crave anything.

As long as you think it's funny, Bill. That's all that matters.

How Gnostic Christian of you. Good thinking.

Gnostic Christian Jesus said, "If those who attract you say, 'See, the Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you.
If they say to you, 'It is under the earth,' then the fish of the sea will precede you.
Rather, the Kingdom of God is inside of you, and it is outside of you.
[Those who] become acquainted with [themselves] will find it; [and when you] become acquainted with yourselves, [you will understand that] it is you who are the sons of the living Father.
But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
