		<description>Thank you for an excellent quote SG! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Happiness is the way to go, in every area of a persons life I think. I mean, think of it. If all there was to look forward to in a persons future, was dreariness and boredom, meaning, if dreariness and boredom were in our nature as human beings, such that, dreariness and boredom is the &quot;built-in&quot; goal of every human being it would mean that the world would be a terrible place, because we would do things on purpose to bring us dreariness and sadness. In such a world anyone showing happiness would be chastized and put down by most people. Thats like living in a self made mental dictatorship.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Mankind has progressed, (albeit slowly) for thousands of years, and we have far more opportunity to be happy today than people in the past. For me it implies that happiness is our &quot;built-in&quot; goal, (not dreariness) it is what we need to truly live as fulfilled human beings.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;ImOnlyAMAn</description>

YAY, brazillian wax time!</description>

		<description>WHat a shame about the prof, maybe he isnt&#039; very happy or doesn&#039;t think he (or anyone else) deserves to be happy?&lt;br/&gt;Or maybe he just felt like being difficult. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Well, there&#039;s no reason why the rest of us can&#039;t persue our own happiness. As you said. ^_^</description>

		<description>WHat a shame about the prof, maybe he isnt&#039; very happy or doesn&#039;t think he (or anyone else) deserves to be happy?&lt;br/&gt;Or maybe he just felt like being difficult. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Well, there&#039;s no reason why the rest of us can&#039;t persue our own happiness. As you said. ^_^</description>

		<description>Thank you for an excellent quote SG! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Happiness is the way to go, in every area of a persons life I think. I mean, think of it. If all there was to look forward to in a persons future, was dreariness and boredom, meaning, if dreariness and boredom were in our nature as human beings, such that, dreariness and boredom is the &quot;built-in&quot; goal of every human being it would mean that the world would be a terrible place, because we would do things on purpose to bring us dreariness and sadness. In such a world anyone showing happiness would be chastized and put down by most people. Thats like living in a self made mental dictatorship.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Mankind has progressed, (albeit slowly) for thousands of years, and we have far more opportunity to be happy today than people in the past. For me it implies that happiness is our &quot;built-in&quot; goal, (not dreariness) it is what we need to truly live as fulfilled human beings.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;ImOnlyAMAn</description>
