I want a cigarette
but I need to stop smoking
to improve my health
and optimise my joy and happiness.

You have so many emotions
twinkling on your beautiful face
like stars in the night sky,
and I seek to explore
every single twinkling emotion
for the rest of my life.

Is there bad-envy and good-envy?
Is bad-envy
when I desire to take away from another person
what brings them joy and happiness?
Is good-envy
when I take clues
from how another person has achieved
joy and happiness
to achieve joy and happiness
for myself?

Is what we call 'Time'
the changing of our experience
of clocks as they tick
in the present-moment?

My Destiny
only happens with me in it
because all my actions have consequences
which affect my joy and happiness.
So I can make my own luck
by choosing wise actions
which produce consequences
which bring me joy and happiness.

In an ideal
joy-and-happiness-society
would every person

to others
to facilitate the joy and happiness
of others?

In an ideal
joy-and-happiness-society

have sufficient resources
to enable their
optimal joy and happiness?
