No, I get it. But it’s not like asking for world peace or something.

I was trying to think of something before clicking on the post and money was literally the first and only thing I came up with

Some days are better than others, but generally, yeah, nothing. Happiness is not for losers like me.

Happiness isn’t for all of us. It wouldn’t hurt to seek it out some times, though.

Never needing to work again and actually having energy to do things would probably do the trick.

It helps, but then you have to supplant your own meaning life, or one can very quickly spiral into doing nothing and becoming depressed. Capitalism sucks, but work doesn’t; it gives us direction and purpose.

My friend, I assume, and I find plenty of meaning in accomplishing simple tasks and finding interesting ways to express ourselves. No labor needed. Only little rabbit holes to constantly fall into.

Edit: btw I don’t approve of all the downvotes you got. A lot of meaning can be found in, exhausting, intense, hard work. Most of that is stripped away by being forced to do it, though.

Well I am happy, but would be happier if the public transit here was good. Because the city would be so much better.

More money would make me less anxious but I have a reasonable lifestyle already (only took a half century and 4 wage earners in the household) and am satisfied with it.

I didnt know i would be saying this today but I hope you get the public transit of your dreams.
