So in a lot and most of my adult life, especially after graduating high school and college, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been on this elusive quest for happiness, whatever that means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now why does it matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, I think this entire capitalism consumerism industrial complex runs off of this notion of being happy becoming happy, chasing happiness etc. Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness<\/em>, this pursuit of happiness notion I think is what drives us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In America we have life. We are alive. We have liberty, you fools, pretty much don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you realize you could say or do anything you want, assuming you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not invoking physical violence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, whenever people talk about censorship, you idiots, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you realize that privately health corporations on the stock market, like Facebook Meta Twitter YouTube Google and the like; these are not the American government, these are just Internet companies with an obligation to shareholders. As a consequence, obviously there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be censorship because if they do not censor, it is more difficult for them to be profitable! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So in a lot and most of my adult life, especially after graduating high school and college, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been on this elusive quest for happiness, whatever that means.
