contentment exaltation range
The happiness state, when examined more closely, turns out not to be a point but a range, with contentment at the bottom and exaltation at the top...there are probably as many forms of happiness as there are of depression.
desire toxic world
But who, in the Western world, has not been deranged by a toxic cocktail of dissatisfaction, restlessness, desire and resentment? Who has not yearned to be younger, richer, more talented, more respected, more celebrated, and, above all, more sexually attractive? Who has not felt entitled to more and aggrieved when more was not forthcoming? It is possible that a starving African farmer has less sense of injustice than a middle-aged Western male who has never been fellated.
fall beer hands
So the absurdity of happiness is that it is embarrassing to discuss or even mention, impossible to define or measure, may not be achievable at all - or, at best, only intermittently and unconsciously - and may even turn into its opposite if directly pursued, but that it frequently turns up unexpectedly in the course of pursuing something else. There is no tease more infuriating...It is tempting to forget the whole thing and simply fall back on the couch with a remote control in one hand and a beer in the other.
issues compelling-reason strategy
But there is a compelling reason to develop a personal strategy for living. Rejecting issues, which often feels liberating, is actually enslavement. Those who do not produce their own solutions must be using someone else's. As Nietzsche warned 'he who cannot obey himself will be commanded'.
morning coffee wine
Day offers two equally necessary sacraments - the benediction of morning and the absolution of dusk. In the morning coffee blesses and in the evening wine absolves.
static sudden
All of a sudden there was a lot of static and it went blank.
asset believe issue needed positions power showcase steve
It was not a power issue but one of positioning. Steve just needed to get in the right positions to showcase what he has to offer. Believe me, he is an asset to any team.
against clear good innocence necessary steps total
I reiterate my total innocence of the allegations made against me, ... And will take all necessary steps to clear my good name.
almost painful rather skip
I don't know if I can go in there for this, because the idea of having you think to yourself, 'Oh God, how do I tell her this isn't right for her?' is more painful than me just not getting the part. I'd almost rather just skip the process.
