    these things again don’t make you happy. They just make it easier. In some cases you will lose the opportunity for happiness like organizing your own shit or if it good shape moving the heavy furniture. I think we have a difference of opinion on happiness vs suffering vs something like indulgence. If you have enough money to prevent suffering like being hungry, thirsty, lacking shelter, worry for the future. More won’t bring you happiness. Anything you do with it at that point is likely indulgence. You might utilize it in activities which truly bring you happiness. Like using it to relieve the suffering of others. Or like a friend of mine was really into boating so for him for that particular thing it would help him achieve happiness but it would not do that for me. Its no guarantee of it though. I know im arguing a point which I think is just a philosophical difference on what we each consider happiness but I do get your point. As I said before I would rather avoid suffering than trade off happy and sad type of thing myself. So in some ways not suffering makes me happy. I like just being content.

      You know, at this point I don’t even care to know more about your opinion.

      You’ve not shifted mine in the least.
