I don't believe in god either.But I believe that happiness feels better than unhappiness.
Fed is better than hunger..etc.
I agree about the drugs. I am off all these anti-depressants,
(zoloft and started celexa). It is nice to FEEL again..instead of
being an automan.
(I get scared if I am not "happy" and start analyzing myself. Am I getting depressed..
do I feel anxiety? Maybe I should take a pill, etc.)This society does try to stuff a way of life at us. Look like this,dress like this,own
this many cars..house..etc.
I do what I feel is best for me.
You are entitled to,too. Maybe you are "happy" just the way you are!> >Why is it that everyone thinks life is suppose to be hard? I am an atheist and I get so much crap about that too! If you don't fit the "norm" people think there is something wrong with you. If you don't live the "happy" life, something is wrong with you.
