Happiness

Security

A guarantee of healthcare, food and shelter, clean water, sanitation, and libraries and internet, for life.   Access to a gym, yoga, friends and family, and -of course- someone to love, who loves you back.  Comfort like air conditioning and heating, or a fireplace.   Engagement with music, books, web pages, blogs, videos, movies, restaurants, travel, and variety.   Stimulus, meaning, purpose, touch, nature, a project, a hobby, learning, teaching, making a difference, service, humor.   Being in good health, good shape, beauty, sanity, improvement, freedom, gratitude, respect.  Not dying with any regret.  Doing your best.  Being a part of the solution.  Making the world a better place.  That’s about it, really.  Friendships and community.  A good night’s sleep.  Winning.  Achieving goals.  Being good.  

hm.  these are all attachments.  conditions.  suffering.  just putting a prayer out into the universe.   a request.  an ideal for society, the planet, everyone.  maybe insecurity is somehow good, too.  is it really all good?  not sure I'm realized.  not exactly a buddha.   Just me.
