I just want you to be HAPPY!
Recently watched a show on SBS about the drug problems of the youth in Israil.
One comment made stuck out in my mind. 'parents tell their kids they just want them to be happy and using drugs in one method kids use to escape pain and be happy'.
Ya can't just blame the parents- we a living in an age where 'just being happy' is the ultimate and the constant drive and pursual of the majority.
2 major probs with this- no one can always be 'happy', being unhappy is ok (to a certain extent) and we need to learn to deal with it and sit with it.
- Often we don't know what makes us happy and marketing plays on this big time and we're canstantly told what should make us happy and we should desire- but does it?
