Felicity, the companion of content, is rather found in our own breasts than in the enjoyment of external things; and I firmly believe it requires but a little philosophy to make a man happy in whatever state he is.

What Can Make You Happy?
Are you happy right now or sad?
Are you bitter about your present condition?

You wonder why others are happy

Are happy people born that way?
Or happiness is a state of mind
What can make you happy?
Will having more money make you happy?
How much money do you need to make you happy?
If you are single and not happy!
Will having a new lover make you happy?
Will getting married make you happy?
If you are married, and not happy!
Will having more children make you happy?
Will sleeping with other people make you happy?
If you are a professional and not happy!
Will changing your profession make you happy?
What can make you happy?
Will getting drunk everyday make you happy?

What can make you happy?

Always remember that what makes
You happy can make the others sad

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
I just want to be healthy and happy. I don't want to hurt anybody or make them mad. If that's a philosophy then that's my philosophy.

Sensation is not the conduction of a quality or state of external bodies to consciousness, but the conduction of a quality or state of our nerves to consciousness, excited by an external cause.

Make you happy
Things that make you happy
Aren't supposed to be bad
Right? Then how do I play in
Where would it all come together
I know what makes you happy,
I know what makes you sad
But how come everything I do
Is always so bad?
Why do I make you happy
How come its so bad
Everything is suppose to be okay
It should all be fine
But even though I make you happy
I also make you feel like dieing
Then how do I make you happy
Why am I so bad?
Why don't you just ley me love you
Let yourself be happy?
Why can't you just let things fall into place
The way everything is supposed to be
Sometimes I hate myself
Because of the way you say I make you feel
At the same time I know you hate yourself
And are waiting to make things real
So why dont you?
Why can't you let yourself go
Don't worry about what they say
Eventually they will all just fade away
I wont ever fade away
I will always be here waiting for you
Waiting to make you happy
Because things that make you happy
Aren't suppose to make you sad
And they're definately not going to be bad
I just dont understand
How am I bad for you?
How could I even be good for you
When I'm not even good for myself
I can't explain whats going on with me
I can't tell you how much I wish
For you to be happy
But at the same time
I hope that you are miserable without me
Because I was suppose to make you happy
I was going to be the one to make your day
Now it makes my day when you
Just stop to talk to me
Or make sure I'm doing okay
Until I make you happy I will always be bad
And you will always be sad
That's how it goes
But that wont be enough
Not to make my world go 'round
I need you to let me be the one...
Let me be the one to make you happy
Because if it makes you happy
It can't possibly be that bad.

We often have need of a profound philosophy to restore to our feelings their original state of innocence, to find our way out of the rubble of things alien to us, to begin to feel for ourselves and to speak ourselves, and I might almost say to exist ourselves. Even if my philosophy does not extend to discovering anything new, it does nevertheless possess the courage to regard as questionable what has long been thought true.

Order The Player Off The Field
We 're all the same
with different looks
different names
voices far away
I bet you're alone today
my regards to the talk of the town
some stay in bed
while the others are down
havin' fun of me
electricity
Injurious
so logical
injenuous
at the end look at what you've got
my little girl
beeing true to you
but you did things
other people do
this is what i found
other way around
days are still as they used to be
but i won't state my philosophy
such a waste of time
silence will be fine

Main Entrée
Hope all of you are having a fantastic New Year...
Thus far.
And remember this:
Keep your dreams and wishes as your 'main' entrée.
Whenever you are deciding what choices to make,
From life's menu of events?
Do 'not' be discouraged if what is wished,
Isn't listed as being available to serve.
You will just have to find a way,
To whip 'that' up yourself.
You know what you like...
And how you want 'that' presented!
For 'your' enjoyment!
Exclusively.
And eat as much to your heart's content.
AND...
IF anyone 'should' say,
You are full of 'yourself'?
Let them know just how right they are!
'Im-me-jet-ly! '
Oh, yes!
At least this has been identified.
And you are 'not' in a state of denial!
To hide or confuse.
And 'everything' dished on your plate,
Will be enjoyed!
And...
To annoy?
You turn this into a buffet!
Licking your fingers,
Publicly and sometimes not...
Everyday!

(It's Good) To Be Free
Head like a rock spinning round and round
I found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind
There is no time
But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free
So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time
But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

As Happy, Happy, Happy As Can Be
Bricklayer’s like to keep their spirit levels high
Joiner’s and Chippie’s will raise the rafters
They do the things that brings them joy
Things that give them the laughter’s
Their as happy, happy, happy as can be
Nurse’s keep their humour tender
Clown’s like to act the fool
Heating engineer’s like it hot
Ice cream makers keep it cool
Their all happy, happy, happy as can be
I like to be in your arms
Saying I love you’ listening to you saying I love you too
I like to see your smiling eyes
In which my smiling eyes look into
Then I am as happy, happy, happy as can be
You make me so happy, happy, happy as can be
Happiness is me as happy, happy, happy as can be
In love and as happy, happy, happy as can be
In love with you happy forever in love
As happy, happy, happy as can be

Some years ago
He was so close and dear
We were secured and had no fear
He would stand by us in any crisis
He did not lay any wrong emphasis
We were not long in married life
I had all the satisfaction as his wife
It was an honor to be his companion
He was altogether different and believed in reunion
He would never encourage sad narration
He would jump with little excitation
This was his way of living and enjoyment
It was really a happy and joyous moment
He would many a times tell about sad plight
What would happen to us if had to leave us for heavenly flight?
He was passing warning in unusual way
Even though he never encouraged to stay away
He smilingly some time air the worst fears
He may jokingly say to get prepared for it to bear
I would thrash him for being so rude
He would keep quite and make no prelude
I had some premonition when he was becoming frank
He may never go out of control even if he had drank
It was self admission of some far reaching signals
As if he was waiting for some bad news arrivals
He left us some years ago
It was unbearable and not easy go
I have tried to forget it number of times
I have failed miserably and curse it sometimes
The enchantment of his smile has no end...
Amidst miss and amiss
Little pain with long tease
Yet not that painful but force me to smile
With passing of each moment of joy
I hardly take care to enjoy
Yet he is found in every object
I gladly go for it as how could I reject?
I see each flower with different color
Fascinated by fragrance and lovely odor
It may be the original quality of delicate object
I laugh at them with only remembrance of him to act
He is not far away from us as we are emotionally attached
He did everything possible for us so not to remain detached
I go past all the memory to remember him in even smallest thing
I am happy to find him even in the bee’s colorful wing
Whole of world is so colorful and he was inseparable part
I have missed him from the day one as he was forced to depart
Yet I go by the omni saying of life’s philosophy
Let him stay wherever he is in the hands of almighty

She will not allow
She will not allow me to speak
Force to keep mum and make weak
Not mentally but otherwise very strong
She is quiet different and never goes wrong
Why I fall for her in recent days?
It is quite ambiguous and not right anyway
What she has in her like specialty?
I think she has top most genuine quality
It is not easy to penetrate her heart
Probably she has camouflaged it with art
This is one of the rarest ever known
She has every right to disclose or own
She thinks of entire world and tries to settle
She may be boiling like water in kettle
There is only evaporation and forms cloud
She puts finger and utters with no sound
I catch you in every signal
They arrive at regular interval
I try to decode but fail to read
May be, it requires talented head
But whenever decide to speak
It may travel strongly and not weak
I shall catch it and form the opinion
What else can do one very good companion?
Well, less said is better and for the good
She has maintained and firmly stood
On her own feet and ready to greet
I shall look for her to meet
I do not know who will speak first?
I am unaware of the exact test
But I am for sure she will start
As she needs to open the heart
Let it not go unnoticed
So many things are promised
Time may not allow for it to revise
We both have to prepare for it and rise

The principle we call self-love never seeks anything external for the sake of the thing, but only as a means of happiness or good: particular affections rest in the external things themselves.

Modesty counts
Breasts when hidden add value to the cleavage.
Breasts when hidden make the loins seductive.
Breasts when hidden add poise to the face
Breasts must be hidden to make men erotic.

I refuse to be a clone.
From birth to death it seems to me.
That we are never truly free.
To be what we would like to be.
We are expected to conform
to what’s accepted as the norm.
Dictated by society.
WE go to school where we are taught.
To memorise the things we ought.
But no one spares a single thought.
About what we would like to be.
They do not care apparently.
We can’t escape too firmly caught.
Though some of us a very few.
Rebel and we refuse to do
What the system wants us to.
But most accept the status quo.
Because they aren’t allowed to know.
That they are entitled to pursue.
Their cherished dreams in their own way
and no one has the right to say.
That they cannot but they will pay.
The price for their rebellion
against the states opinion.
But some. still do it anyway.
I’m happy to defy the state
and take control of my own fate.
Because I don’t appreciate
being told I must obey
When I can see a better way
than that dictated by the state.
