I'm beginning meditating with a class hopefully soon. There's a center near where I live and they have morning sittings. I went today to visit and there were some Tibetan monks doing a live painting. It was really cool, it looks something like this:

I honestly don't think happiness is the ultimate goal of mankind. It turns people self-centered in the end.
And that probably is the reason why we are like this, here on Earth -because for others being happy, some have to live badly or not live at all.

Tiberius, that was uncalled for... Don't try and turn this into another religious war.
Happiness is different for everyone, nobody can ever definitively specify it.

The fact that everyone has a different idea of what happiness is, does not necessarily mean that there is no absolute truth with regard to the matter, it simply means that many people do not even know what happiness is, which is why they go looking for it in all the wrong places, and end up never finding it.

I guess I got a little carried away......
I was actually logging on before bed to edit that, but it appears I was too late. I've been pretty stressed out lately, and I guess I let it out here without thinking. It won't happen anymore.
