the world is not "just is" it is a combination of everything...bad, good and ugly..although when veiwing the media one would think it is all cruel ( rightfully so )....how you react, handle it or view it is what can change your attitude. you are correct..
I'd like to make a general comment. Wanting to have a child could be our base natural instinct to spread the "seed". Have a namesake, someone to carry our genes. One might admire and look up to someone who has found happiness in having children. I do think, once we achieve some of what we want, money, power and understand it's limitations for happiness is when we seek to find meaning in greater existence. I think at this point everyone differs on how much money and how much power or never come to the realization after all.
The more you know the more you know that you don't know. Doesn't sound like intelligence has much to do with being happy.
Because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
Arn't you the GULLIBLE one on the "I paid for the Secret" thread? Stop calling yourself Jesus...it shows your ego...Someone Religeous with no sense of humor will HUNT YOU DOWN!
Sounds like you have money. The single mother who works three jobs and consequently can't keep her kids out of the cop shop definitely has a true problem.
Superior intellect? An IQ of 147 is no more indicative of a developed intellect than a high percentage of fast twitch muscle is indicative of athletic competence. I've met people in Mensa with 170+ IQ's who have the intellectual depth of fruit flies.
