An infinite progress

Do you 'know' you have a good life, or do you just have a strong feeling that you have a good life?

Do you also know that you are posting on a forum where several people think you are a blithering idiot? If not, you haven't been paying attention.

I have loving parents, stable housing, plenty of food, running water, a wonderful dachshund, and 3 friends.......I know that's not a lot of friends, but some people don't have any friends at all.

It is definitely irrational. I don't care about that. All I want, is to be happy and content, and I believe God provides happiness and contentment. That's good enough for me.

That’s fine, and I appreciate your honesty. You must realize though, that people who care about truth and rationality won’t likely be persuaded by your personal, irrational feelings, right?

RE: An infinite progress
We have all of our own personal irrational feelings, anyway. No one needs someone else's used underwear.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah I know that. I just try to be positive.

I don't think honesty is in his wheelhouse.

Likely not. But my kid is in school until 1:50 and I’m bored. 😁
