BC39.....The fight for my marriage continues

"This society is very individualistic, selfish and self centered. The pursuit of happiness trumps ALL other purposes in life. "

I don't know what you keep talking in generalities. You lump everyone together into "society" when not everyone is like that. Personally, I have more happily married friends than single, self-centered ones like you've described.

AND you say that the pursuit of happiness trumps everything else. That's a gross overstatement. Most of what you do is out of necessity - work, education, etc. What matters is how you approach it. Anything can make you happy. Even the lousiest job. But what you find as being lousy, another person will find as being the most joyous thing they've ever done.

IMHO, we need to stop hijacking this thread.

SM34, you should continue this onto your own thread.
