With responce to changing the world I believe my friend may have that answer in the bag on how to do it! He was sat thinking one day "what makes people happy?" Well its pretty obvious what makes people happy, others being happy! If you saw a good friend of yours happy as larry you would feel a bit better in yourself so when you see another friend of yours you will feel happier again, well if we walked round town and saw that everyone or shall I say the majority of people are happy then we will feel happier in ourselves! If we walked round town to see everyone happy we are going to feel happier for 2 reasons. 1.) Attitudes are contagious, if everyone is down you will feel down, if everyone is happy everyone will be happy and 2.) You are going to feel happy about living in a happy place! So lets all be happy and make the world a better place! It's not that hard is it?
Feeling too Good a funny thing happened . . .

Thankyou Bluesky and Brill:
Bluesky, thankyou for the link - it always helps to have someone else validate what we may be experiencing, especially, if it's "out there" a ways.
And thankyou Brill, you are most definitely right, happiness is infectious. Unfortunately, so is "mob mentality."
The spirit and the ego, is the yin and yang personified. WE literally are an extention of the duality within which we exist. The mind attempting to comprehend its existence on its own terms, with the relative comparator being the five senses. The ego considers its enlightened state to be one of provable measurable Quantities, verifiable by some other proven measured equantity. Becuase we are taught in this age to separate ourselves from our guidance system, the mind has no choice but to begin to look outside of the "me" in order to define the "normal" self of I. We have by the nature of the cycle itself confined our thought within the same box as everyone else.

It's good that you have come to a peaceful understanding of this enormous subject. I hope you are able to find your place in the world with some happiness and contentment, despite what "others" are doing. We cannot control the thoughts and actions of others...just ourselves. "You are the only person who can make you unhappy." Sorry, I don't know who said that famous quote. But, on the bright side, lots of people can make you happy if you let them.
