Yes...
(December 10, 2013 at 2:40 pm)StrongWaters Wrote: Positive pleasure is a mere idea. To be happy at any one point we must have suffered at the same.
"at the same"?... what does that mean? I'd say "at some other point".

"blessed"? well.. in a broad sense of the word... yes...

And you lost your audience...
What.... The.... Hell?!?!
