Being on Your own Happiness Team
There are millions of people, circumstances, and other factors that are literally lined up to take away your freedom and pleasure, be they disease, traffic accidents, disability, acts of God, old-age, global warming, government bureaucracies, financial realities, taxes, debt, old enemies, foreign nations, terrorists, foul weather, criminals, and old-fashioned every day unkind and unconscious people.
It's their job to take away your joy -- or at least to try to.
Why in the world would you join forces with them to deny yourself pleasure? Shouldn't you always be on your own side of this battle? Especially since you and only a hand full of people are on your side to start with?
Unless by doing so you are hurting yourself or others, you owe it to yourself and the world to seize pleasure whenever and wherever you find it. It’s a delightful and selfish act that benefits everyone.
