Happiness

     So we definitely had a interesting conversation today as a class. I understand the logic behind what was said today, we started with the idea that people become old and then they are supposed to die, and if they don't die then they just hold us back. Then we went further to discuss how we are all selfish and believe ourselves to be the most inportant person. I suppose logically I agree with those statements on a intellectual level, however I would like to believe that there is enough diversity within humanity that we cannot all be summed up in one statement. I honestly think that there is no point in dweling on our own selfishness if it is only going to make us unhappy. The narrator even says that a state of overcounciousness leads to misery. There is such a thing as blissfull ignorance and I believe there is something beautiful to found by ignoring the thing that simply suck in life. So that is what I have decided to do, make myself happy by choosing to believe that there is more to poeple them just selfish drives.
P.S. yes Melanie, I am judging you all right now on your posts
