    Your happiness must come from within you. Nowhere (or from no one) else. (& The Philosophy of: Ben Lee – Happiness creates happiness.)

    June 17, 2018 - By Dave

    If you wanna fix a problem, then you gotta be happy. Being happy is the only way out of a mess. If you wanna fix a problem, then you gotta be happy, ’cause happiness creates happiness. – From Ben Lee’s Happiness There’s not a single person on planet earth that can make you happy, content, satisfied with yourself and give you…

    Everything is actually going to be alright (and is) – The philosophy of: No Woman No Cry

    May 7, 2018 - By Dave

    If you’re having a day where you’re worried, anxious or uncertain (is that a bad thing?), listen to this – it’s impossible to keep feeling the same way. You can always go to your Kokomo, anytime, and anywhere you are. And the same goes for this: Because if you’re alive, you are one of the 10 billion people lucky enough to ever…

    The Philosophy of: Sisyphus from Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus (and what ice fishing’s got to do with it)

    May 6, 2018 - By Dave

    This is Izzy from The Last Kiss, and in this scene from the movie, his mate tries to guilt him into coming with on a massive trip by judging the fact that all he does is go ice fishing every day, and that is an ‘incomplete’ or ‘pathetic’ life. But Izzy is happy just going ice fishing, and he’d be…

    The philosophy of: Julia Banks saying she could live on $40 a day (and what Seneca’s got to do with it)

    May 4, 2018 - By Dave

    Aussie MP Julia Banks says she could live on $40 a day if she needed to. And the common criticism of her is “Well, why don’t you?” Banks comes from a wealthy blue-blooded heritage and she can probably afford to live of $4000 a day if she needed to. But this criticism of her, telling her to ‘do it then’,…

    If you create contentment, and you create excitement, have you created the perfect life?

    May 2, 2018 - By Dave

    Which is more important? To create contentment in your life? Or to find or also create excitement? Is one more important than the other? Can you have both? If you have too much of one, does the other become redundant, unnecessary or unwanted? And if you find, or can create both, it’s possible you have everything that you could possibly hope for. It’s…

    A Deep Dive into: Happiness [pt.1] – Is it a real goal, a real thing, a linguistic label or nothing at all? (inspired by one of the students I teach)

    April 6, 2018 - By Dave

    I asked my class today ‘What are Humanity’s greatest accomplishments/achievements?’ And one of the answers that came back back was: Happiness. Whether we have achieved/accomplished this as a species (or any of us…. All of us?) is less important, but it brings up an idea: Is ‘Happiness’ just something that Humans created? Is it sustainable? Is contentment a healthier state? Is it…

    Is everything that’s subjective, everything that varies across humanity, just bullshit? And is everything that is objectively true all that matters? [On Eudaimonia)

    January 14, 2018 - By Dave

    How are you? Are you alive? And do you have enough food to survive in the near future, enough warmth, water and shelter (and an ability to rest)? Then you’re good. Happiness (at least in its contemporary context) is not important. What’s Eudaimonia? The ancient Greeks valued ‘eudaimonia, which was an objective type of happiness. Well that’s at least what…

    This could be how to test if you’re doing something that’s truly best for YOU. 30 years ago, would so many people have sent trash cans to Jadaveon Clowney? [+ The Philosophy of: Mr Bean pt.2 – YOU are all you need to have a fucking great time]

    December 22, 2017 - By Dave

    How many things do people do just to share online, impress people they know/sort of know/don’t know/hate, or to get likes, views, retweets etc.? A whole bunch of Jacksonville Jaguars fans bought and sent trash cans to the Houston Texans’ Jadaveon Clowney after he called their quarterback Blake Bortles exactly that – trash. But if they couldn’t post it on…

    Step 1 – Get a pen: Step 2 – Make a dot: Step 3 – Use your eyeball sockets and specifically your eyeball balls to look at the dot: That’s the size of Earth when you look at it from 900 miles away.  Everything ever than anyone ever did, or made, or talked about. Every little problem, every financial headache,…

    Is it realistic (and healthy) to be indifferent to EVERYTHING?

    September 24, 2017 - By Dave

    If you didn’t give a fuck about losing anything in your life, and were ready for it, it’d be impossible for anything to shake you, make you feel down or grieve its loss. Passions can be dangerous, as a passion can bind someone so closely to something that should it disappear, leave or end, chances are it’s going to affect…
