    Some are sick in the head and don't know what is right and wrong, therefore not what has everlasting value. I hope your happiness is the right thing and note that there is more than just pleasing ourselves there is kindness to consider, compassion etc. How we go about our experience is up to us and if we are sincere in finding true fulfilment the answers will come.

    Well answer this...

    I've been long, a long way from here
    Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
    And drank til I was thirsty again
    We went searching through thrift store jungles
    Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
    And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

    Well, o.k. I made this up
    I promised you I'd never give up

    If it makes you happy
    It can't be that bad
    If it makes you happy
    Then why the hell are you so sad

    You get down, real low down
    You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
    Well who hasn't been there before?
    I come round, around the hard way
    Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
    And serve you French toast again

    Well, o.k. I still get stoned
    I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

    If it makes you happy
    It can't be that bad
    If it makes you happy
    Then why the hell are you so sad

    We've been far, far away from here
    Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes
    And everywhere in between
    Well, o.k. we get along
    So what if right now everything's wrong?

    If it makes you happy
    It can't be that bad
    If it makes you happy
    Then why the hell are you so sad

    Things that make everyone else happy - material possessions, money, popularity at all costs - have never satisfied me. I have a deep connection with the universe which fulfills me in ways that you can't put any price on. I can be happy in darkness, as well as light. I don't need things to go my way. I don't need to be right. I don't need to be popular. I don't need to be accepted. What I need, I already have inside me. I can never be happy on the earth level as it currently stands. There's nothing to believe in, in this world. People are always going to be selfish and out for what they want. I can't move forward in the earthly world. It doesn't offer me anything extraordinary or different. It is fake and insincere. I can only progress with something real and tangible.

    The old saying different strokes for different folks. Life is apples and oranges and so are human beings. I don't believe in conforming anyone into living anybody's "standard" every one has their raison d etat.

    Some people think they deserve a lot more than what God has given them. All it takes to make me VERY happy is good health and I got that ((;
