OK there is a lot here to digest. I have a "disscusion" I have to have with my wife toinght, but wanted to wait until my daughter goes to bed. I may not repsond tonight...it could get ugly, but I'm not giving up on you.
One quick thought. IMO:
Quote: Why is their happiness so much more important than mine? If we all have an equal right to happiness and mine should not come at the cost of hurting them, then what about vice versa?
We all DO NOT have a right to happines. HAPPINESS IS NOT A RIGHT!!!!! It is a blessing. We are entitled nothing!!!!!
Really really read that...can't you see the selfishness in that???? Happiness, and I don't have it either, does not come from being selfish.
To even have a shot at life's blessing of happiness you HAVE to shed this built in thought/belief.
I will be back and comment more.
Sorry for being obtuse...what is OS?????
Keep posting and thinking. I'm not giving up on you H2H!
