Well I have 3 things to say to you.
1. You're very lucky.
2. And you are temporarily lucky. It won't last. And when your life starts to go down hill you will get frustrated with yourself and wonder why your philosophy isn't working and why you are so utterly powerless over your emotions.
3.This is because you can't control how you feel and you only believed you could before because your former happiness deluded you into thinking you had more power over your emotions than you did (how much power do you have over your emotions? The answer is: You have absolutely no power over your emotions. You are your emotions (or rather, you are you and your emotions are included... by the way this doesn't mean they're real). And you are just another movement of the universe. Whenever you feel you are in control... you are deluded).
Sorry to disappoint you and burst your bubble (you may not feel me burst your bubble yet... but you will feel it burst when it does burst... and who knows... maybe you will remember what I said too) but this philosophy of yours that you are all excited about... it won't last. This is just because you're happy right now and on a high... and you are mistakenly taking credit for your happiness. And the only reason you are deluded into taking credit for your happiness is because your happiness is deluding you. It's just a fucking placebo dude. You'll see... when it wears off. Happiness isn't real. The cake is a lie.
