Many thanks to Ben Fairhall of the Battling the Behemoth site for pointing this out to me.

"Depressive realism"!? "Smacking your head on a rainbow"!?: Words straight out of the the mouth of the gloom-and-doomist RD Lang or the psychological manipulator Edward L Bernays. Is it worth getting up tomorrow morning? I might as well down a bottle of pills tonight and be done with it! And how do they know sea squirts don't feel happiness or boredom?... OK, it may be foolish to anthropomorphize animal emotions too much, but it's even more foolish to de-anthropomorphize human emotions; and this is what these Freudian extremists are doing!

I guess there's no point in trying to stop the NWO is there?... Hang on! Maybe that's why they want us to think this way! We need to be on our guard for this kind of thing. Propaganda isn't just about imposing a view on political events and assassinations etc, it's far more subtle than that. It's about imposing a paradigm of human existance at every level that demoralizes us and therefore breeds despair and despondancy. It's a diluted version of the torturer's goal of destroying a person's spirit and self-esteem. If we think life is pointless and meaningless with injustice and hardship woven into its very fabric then we are less likely to envision anything better. The Illuminati want this! They want us not to care if the New World Order comes! They want us to throw up our hands and say "What's the use!? Life is a bitch anyway, so we might as well just put up with it." Don't let them grind you down that way! It's a scam! Don't fall for it! Life is a bowl of cherries if we're willing to reach out and taste the fruit!

Pursui-ing happiness is a waste of time. Happyness is not something that can be attained. You either are happy or you are not. -- tomorrow may be different, but you decide,,, not pursuit. chasing happy is like a dog chasing it's tail.-- it's amusing to watch, but I wouldn't want to try it.

Another point might be, that the majority of people think they are happy but are not. A lot of people, the majority, don't know they are unhappy. Sad.

I know what you mean; a famous spiritual guru oince said: "If you want to be happy, then be it!" The point of the article was not spiritual though. It was saying that happiness is a state governed by lifestyle and asuaged desires; it therefore condemns the idea of it because of its impossibility!

Reminds me of the story about the Australian self help and happiness guru,can't remember his name.....

He was approached buy a guy at one of his seminars,who said "Why do we need to be happy all the time?Whats wrong with me choosing to be miserable,its my life and I can feel how i like"
His reply was...

"whatever makes you happy" :D

I’m a depressed optimist, I’m likely to though myself of a building, but I’ll enjoy the fall :)

Yep. I read that link. I see what you mean. The writer reduced happiness to fleeting feelings, and attainments of petty goals. Horrible, materialistic diatribe it was. Waste of time.

Anything that batters the spirit and breaks the self-esteem will do!:rolleyes:
