Quote: Curious, MPT, what makes your happiness completely fulfilled?
I like to be happy, so I choose to be happy. Even when grieving I can count on knowing that happiness is still at the core of who I am. Being happy turns me into the person I most enjoy being and who I feel most comfortable being. Letting external events affect this fundamental aspect of who I am is counterproductive to me being a person that I like. Showing that happiness and having other people derive some benefit from my being a happy person is what makes it most fulfilling I guess. But even if they don't benefit, I still find it fulfilling. Their benefit is icing on the cake. I guess you could say happiness is it's own reward for me. MPT
