IDEAS ARE DANGEROUS.

HAPPY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE IDEAS.

HAPPINESS IS THE DESERT IN A ROOM.

I'M THE TROUBLED ONE.

Gubbinal - by Wallace Stevens That strange flower, the sun, Is just what you say. Have it your way. The world is ugly, And the people are sad. That tuft of jungle feathers, That animal eye, Is just what you say. That savage of fire, That seed, Have it your way. The world is ugly, And the people are sad.

That is BEAUTIFUL, thank you!

Whoever wrote this, I can completely relate to what your message is here. I mean, I used to be really unhappy a when I was younger and live with my parents, and also extremely creative. I used to being into art, drawing, painting, etc. Now that I am happier, I am seriously not so artistic anymore, most of the time anyway. If I dig deep I can bring some of it back, but for the most part, it will never be the way it was. What is that about? It's possible that this is not at all what you meant by it, but that is what I got from it.

Hey Nichole, you got some parts of my message right, I'm glad something got through!

I have never reached happiness if that's a form of satisfaction and tranquillity, and I think I will never do, not that I want to, I have nuclear bombs inside :) I can't think of my life as a forced path towards sundays on the sofa watching tv, but some people do! I can't stand hearing people on the train talking about how happy their weekend on the lake was... There must be more to life, don't you think? I have got ideas and ideas are dangerous because people don't want to think that there's something else out there. That's why we listen to pop music, it's all the same shit but it fools us in thinking that everything is right normal as our brain want things to be. But we cannot change if we don't think different, and we can't evolve if we don't change so aren't we biting our tails? Ok, I think that's a little too much stuff for one comment... Bye for now!

Ha ha, no I completely understand what you are saying. How can we change/evolve if we don't open our minds? I know what you mean about pop music. If I am going out with friends I usually listen to that sort of thing, but on an everyday basis for something with more substance I like Coldplay, The Fray, etc. Maybe you think this stuff is "poppy" too, but I don't really think it fits into that genre. Personally, after listening to too much pop it is refreshing to listen to something that isn't so superficial. I think everyone has a different standard for what happiness means, personally as long as life does not become boring and I am always learning something new, I will be mostly happy.

Have you ever seen a desert bloom? Happiness isn't a stagnant pool. It's true that an artistic mind can chafe against contentment, but it's just as true that art can bring great joy as well as joy being responsible for an artistic outburst.

Though sometimes I'm never happier than when a drawing is finished!
