Liked the re-do, everyone is different, the whole "different strokes for different folks" certainly applies to happiness, contentment, etc., IMO. My wife and I are from VASTLY different cultures (White Midwestern farm family compared to Carribean fishing family), religion (raised Lutheran but am agnostic at best mostly atheist, compared to something I would describe as island witchcraft).
>I am NOT kidding<
How 2 completely different people met, married, had kids (and grandkids) and found happiness is something that would encompass a book, for real. We've been happy for decades, I consider myself the luckiest man alive, I sh*t you not. Has there been challenges, downfalls, tragedy and the like...of course, but thus is life.
Being passionate about something, learning something you're interested in, whatever it is that peaks your interest, invigorates you, motivates you...whatever floats your boat, go do it...seems simple enough. Right?
Fantastic fall day here in Minnesota, going out on the pontoon and putter around the lake, and think of our coming trip to Belize, and scuba diving in the best place on earth to do it...talk about happy.
Belize, where "scuba diving is the best place on earth to do it".... It is to laugh! Rangiroa, my friend. Just kidding. Sort of. Different strokes for different folks? When I was studying this stuff officially, I learned that are commonalities among all the people who have led truly satisfying lives. It's too long to get into, but they exist, really!
Rangiroa, did the usual google search, sounds fascinating, I shouldn't have come off so definitive, I just love our place there, the people, the memories. You should do a deep dive on those commonalities, but I understand you have some sorting through on what you want to do...but if you ever get a chance.
Having some issues logging in, won't recognize my email, won't send me an email to change, etc.
One of my several surefire paths to happiness happens to be...avoiding leftism/wokeism/progressivism!
Hey, bydaway, didja happen to know that leftism is associated with low testosterone levels? If you disagree with this I dare you to step across this line ________________________________________________.

Oh, I understand. I was just funnin' you. I'd like to go to Belize, but French Polynesia offers some things that I can't find anyplace else.
