Wondering if you agree that unhappy people are quite well acquainted with boredom and constantly seek substitute stimulations, which help
for awhile but never last... as compared with happy people for whom there are not enough hours in the day and who find contentment and
delight, anywhere and anytime, because their happiness is within and not dependent upon pleasant circumstances. They bring it with them.
When anybody brings their genuine happiness/tranquility to the party, office or hospital all others in their periphery benefit by association.

I think unhappy people have to constantly reaffirm their opinion of themselves by posting long, meaningless pseudo-phylosophical nonsense, while at the same time blasting people who just want to have fun with equally meaningless diatribes 😛

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundI am sad to see you being a little too harsh with Gampy, Huck. G has raised an honest, thought provoking question, with which I and many chess players will feel a warm glow - he is obviously a caring person.

Most philosophers and serious writers of literature (and not a few chess players) were inspired to heights of creativity by their own unhappieness. Yet their works inspired happieness !
Indeed, I have a theory that the three most important driving forces in the creation of philosophy or literature (and possibly chess ideas) were
1. Unhappieness (eg Schopenhauer)
2. The tuberculosis bacterium (eg George Orwell)
3. Hunger
Please Gampy, ride on regardless. I for one am appreciative.

There's this school, homework, then I want to play chess, study it, play volleyball, basketball, spend more time in the gym and get a decent job at least for weekends to earn some money myself. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to do the half of it because the days are too short and too few in a week.

I once knew a guy who liked to go to the hospital and make fun of all the sick people...calling them stupid, or maybe kicking them, or throwing stuff at them. Pretty soon, he'd have all the doctors and nurses laughing too.

recreational naps, pick at food and then can't wait to call it a day. Give thanks.
