Hello, all you peoples. It's time for another one.

 

With too many great things to do, just about any one will do...​

Actually, it's been time for about six or seven days now. But you know, more than ever, I got one of those new problems where you got so many great things to do that almost anything you do not going to be a bad choice. But I've got to get to this one. Well, I know I don't believe in the "gotta" word, but anyway, I'm going to get to this one right now cuz this has been simmering for I mean six days now.

 

But this one is the best of the bestest!​

Oh, man. God, it's so good. It's so good. Let me tell you, I was I was in my coffee shop with my friend, you know, and I just happened to notice this um this lady uh you know, the lady, you know, the cash register lady, you know, she was not looking so happy and well, you know, I know everybody doesn't just put their happiness in their face automatically, so she might be one of those, but just in case it might be one of those people who actually show a little bit what's on their feeling. She she wasn't feeling happy. I'm pretty sure about that. And then I had the insight of the century.

​

Get permission to be happy, that is the key!

She probably doesn't know that she needs to get permission to be happy, you know, to go to the person in charge of giving permission to be happy. You know, that person probably good chance to say, "Yeah, I give you permission to be happy." You know cause a lot of us been taught we gotta do this gotta do that you know should be it's hard you know you believe all that shit especially on top of that I mean sort of implied you know you don't have permission to be happy you know you can't just rearrange things to be happy because you don't got permission right so you just got to go to the person and ask for permission and they might give it to you and then just in case you want to be happy. You don't have to be happy, but in case I mean, maybe that's all there is to it. So, I began to think about, well, actually, she seems sort of busy, so I said, well, I'm going to probably see her another time, but but I begin to think about this, you know, and uh but well, but who is that person, you know, because I don't I don't know who that person is. I'm already happy, so don't need to go looking for him or her or them or whoever these are.

 

But I never hear of who that permission buy might be?

But uh but gotta be and you know that's a they they probably have if there's just one person in the world I got many people asking all but I can think how can we find who that person is you know that one person but as a thought about it little bit deeper it you know this is a very important decision permission to be happy can't just leave that to one person got to have a committee, right?

 

Of, course, this is too important for just one hot shot...

Committee, maybe even like nine people like the Supreme Court justices, you know? So if if five people say four people say no, we don't give you permission, but five do, hey, go get it. Well, that must be it. But but then the question is, see back the same problem. who's the committee, right? Thinking deeper deeper because you know this is a first time I've been thinking about this type of problem and it takes me a while to get to the bottom of things you know but as I thought deeper I said oh my god I think I got it.

 

So obvious! There is a different committee for each of us and each of us already know who they are! 

It's a different committee for everybody different committee customized for them and the committee is very obvious who they are. Because pretty much all of us have those, you know, those important peoples around us, you know, parents or children or teachers or ministers or uh friends or husbands or wives. You know, there are the people obviously the people in charge or like is a committee whether, assuming majority rules, uh that that are there to say whether you're not going to be happy, right? And you think about it further actually you already gave them a lot of power you know because if they any of those people praise, you feels good right? You don't get to just feel good, for any reason you got to wait around for the praise. Right? Or if some of those people blame you, oh god, especially if they're fellow church members, you then it's time to feel bad, right? So it's obvious you're already somehow they got permission, you know, to and they're even using it to descide, you know, they want you to feel maybe bad because perhaps they want you to do something or whatever or or they want to maybe encourage you to do something again, you know, like you behaved, then they praise you. Yeah. So, hey, this becomes more and more obvious. They're the ones in charge, you know.

​

Why would you give them permission? So it's easy to understand why the fuck they would grant you permission to just live your own life...

But then I saw a new problem. Why the fuck would they want to give you permission to be happy? Give up all that power they got. God, what would they do without the power to get you to do this or that or be a you know what they call a good person or bad don't be a bad person you know do you know whatever they happen to believe you know and you know your particular neck of the woods of the authorities on what's good and bad, you know. I mean that's how do we expect people around us I mean parents even teach their children about that really on and introduce them to this condition called seriositis, or you know condition of being serious, you know, that's that's the beginning of it man but and if they give you permission, it's even worse than that. Imagine they give you permission then you're happy and they're not. How unfair is that!? God! People believe in equal suffering. You know, that's obviously unfair, right? They're feeling probably bad enough already. They're just struggling, too, cuz you know, they got their own committee were, by the way, I think I think you may be one of their committee members, you know, if they turned it around here. But yeah, you maybe you wouldn't give them permission, right? I don't know. Anyway, but I thought it'd solve the problem. But I looked deeper and deeper. Why the fuck would people give you permission? You know, but there still might be a chance, you know.

 

Even if there is only a 1% chance, it's worth it!

You you want, you know, something as important as being happy in life. You know, if there's even a little 1% of a chance, why not go for it, right?! You know, they might be stupid and say yes. You know, so this is what you do. Pretty simple. You just I don't know if you can get them all to together. Maybe just a quorum. I don't know. Ask a certain percentage of of your important people in your life to get together say, "Hey guys, I think it might be time that I want to try out happiness." you know, and I had already thought about this a lot because if you know, if I was in your shoes, which I probably am if you decide to do what I'm doing now and ask for permission, I'm not sure I'd give you permission myself cuz got to keep you in line too, you know. But anyway, let me point, you know, just imagine you're speaking to these people and explaining everything. So, hey, look, I've already I already know you've got permission to decide whether I feel good or bad with whether you blame me or praise me or accept me or include me or don't uh exclude me from the group, whatever you do, you know, some subtle hints, you know, you already got me pretty much in control, you know, or whatever. I know I might be rebellious sometimes, but so I know you got the power, you know. And I know it would be just if there's any chance I can give it a try to be happy, you know, just and I understand. I understand if you say "no." But could you just say, you know, I mean, we can go around in a vote if you want to. I don't know if we want to agree on majority rules here or whatever. I hope we don't have to give a complete consensus. I might that might be too much for me to bear. But uh go around and each of you say "yes" you can be happy or "no" you cannot be happy. You know just a "yes/no" vote you know just it's not complicated too much you know just like in jury room, you know. Just okay.

 

If you convene the committee at the right time of day (maybe with some pizza), there might be some chance. Go for it!

So you might have a chance I mean they may be they may just be a generous day you know I've heard I've heard the time of day is very important when you know, parole boards make decisions and stuff like that. Maybe you can get them the right time of day. You know, after early, you know, late afternoon is not a good time. Late morning is not a good time. You know, just get them together at the right time. So, they're they may be very generous. You know, they might just say, "Yeah, you can be happy." Doesn't mean you have to be happy, but at least have to then you'll know that you've got permission. And that means if you see all those things you've been doing that's no happy like struggling to get the result, you know, or or saying or you know uh putting other people above your own interest and not focusing on the journey to results. If you know say well those aren't really very big chap then you know you got permission. Just change those things. You know, maybe some people be upset, but they already gave you permission.

 

Once you've got permission, they can't take it back. They have to lie in the bed thay made...

Hey, once they give you permission, you they have to deal with the consequences, right? So, I think this is a grand idea. Don't you? I want some feedback. I want some feedback from all guys, right? I think this is the the idea of the century. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
