Is happiness bad for us?
Dear Friend,
Many of us (or even- most of us?) seem to organize our lives according to pursuit of happiness. Some of us feel we usually succeed, whilst for others it’s just the opposite.
There are opinions that try as hard as we may, we cannot “escape ourselves”- for our level of contentment is shaped by our nature, and not by external conditions.

“You can always spot a woman in love, that temporary type of lucid beauty… Her eyes are focused and she is gazing inwards… lips curved in the subtlest of smiles… She
radiates the world’s unknown, and the aura that shields her makes you move away when you pass her by… You feel that
she cannot be accidentally touched.”
― Love, Demystified

― Love, Demystified
“Accidentally, “porn” could be defined as a cinematic equivalent of a one-night stand; and the huge revenue it generates
serves as proof of our need for a calming antidote, and our thirst for love, of which porn is one of the “ready to eat”
surrogates.”

“Why do we love sex so much? What is the purpose of your
life? Who is God, and where is He? Those seemingly unrelated
questions are all united by the same intrinsic human phenomenon that is known to us a “romantic love”.
Romantic love – what is it?”

“They say that sex is crude: the body fluids…! Crude…?
The morning dew on your eyelashes met by my tongue, the tenderest force; my supple curves, the hills you climb, your fingers desperately lost. You want to learn my many gazes –
unyielding shields… then pastel sweet…
We’ll die one day, but your embraces, each one of them, I want to keep.”

“I am a man, I want to change the world! … no, not a “want.” I NEED to!
This sacred fire in my soul, it can’t be wasted; that I know.
Which role is mine? Those men in charge – what monsters!
And what fools! “To serve all parties” – not for me; but what am I to do? My secret terror: when I’m gone, no one will notice…”
