i don't think any true happiness ever comes to you, without it being the result of something you do..... Something you have an effect on.... For instance, put me in the back of an acrobatic airplane, with someone else at the controls, and give me a wild, one-of-a-kind, all over the sky ride.......and i wouldn't be as happy as if i had the knowledge and skill to handle the controls myself, even in a flat line, boring, beginner's flight.... Other than physiological or organic issues, most human unhappiness is caused by the true or the perceived lack of personal control..... Give me the slightest chance to have an effect on my world, and i can go on living......happily. Take away all chances, all ability, to do that, and i shall die, and soon.
People who don't ride or ski.....how do they live, and why?
