You know it's weird... I've always wondered why two of England's best fighters, Hatton and Fury, always came out to sweet Caroline...
I thought it was kinda an important song for the British but never understood why...
We get turnt to this song0 -

~Aristotle
I feel like the term happiness today has become very skewed. I think it’s more of an illusion or a delusion. Your happiness never meets up with anyone else’s and therefore for them to be happy you have to be miserable. There is an illusion that you are happy because you give up on what you find happy In order to keep peace. But it’s not really happiness it’s just an existence.
May I contribute to your reflections on happiness, in the only way I know how - which is longwinded and potentially alienating to my audience:
Aristotle's concept of happiness was based around taking action (that's a very reductionist and simplistic representation by me of his work - Nichomachean Ethics). His overall message was that in order to lead a "good" life one must take virtuous action towards goals that are of importance to the self and society.
Interestingly, much contemporary and emerging research, particularly those concerned with stress/trauma etc, points towards "taking action" (again, a simplistic reduction).
I dont believe happiness centres around attachment to others but in the actions we take and the intention of those actions (oh Aristotlean virtue-ethics there you are). Its the link between intent, purpose, and action and the overall result.
This has been my Ted Talk today. Signed - bored phd student on a tangent.
Happiness is a serious problem.
lockdown has me spending too much time in my thesis 🤷♀️1 -

People are here for many reasons. I get deleted too. Most of us on here have been deleted by someone. We're all on different journeys. You have to accept that you're not everyone's favorite cup of tea and that's totally okay. Its a hard pill to swallow but once you grasp the reality of it that it's okay for people to decide that they don't want you around, it will be much better for your soul and ego and you won't feel so rejected. It took me a very long time to learn that and be okay with that. Upside, other people will come along & will accept you for who you are.6 -

Doesn’t matter what promises were made, who you cared about blah blah blah it’s just excuses to keep holding on. It doesn’t matter, right now you focus on you. Go through the emotions, be mad, cry, that’s apart of the healing process. And do the no contact rule, out of sight out of mind. Don’t check for her, on social media ect. Make sure she cant get ahold of you, the worst is having contact during the first stages of a break up. The sooner you cut off the faster you heal and move on. This pain is temporary, please don’t prolong it by talking to her again.
Well that’s just my IMO everyone’s different.

Wow, I just watched it. That's sad. And scary.
I'm glad I live in a rural area where nothing ever happens. (Knocking on wood!) And hope it stays that way. Authorities pretty much have their hands tied as to what they can do, who they can do it to, while violence runs amok. 1 -
