I've been trying to think about what happiness is, since it's so central to my ethics. I guess i would say happiness is taking pleasure in life. I know it possible to do this even when you're suffering alot.
I guess that's all for tonight. I've been searching for some interesting theosophy or mystical books and sites, but haven't found anything I'm really interested in as of yet. I'll keep you posted. Good stuff for pagans is a bit difficult to find.
I would like to note that though I consider myself a pagan I do not consider myself a witch. My true classification is left up to you, as I really don't know what mine is. I would guess that it might be something like apprentice.
See ya.

I got an earthlink account, so I can now blog from the safety of my own home. This rules! Too bad my screen resolution sucks. I thought about my "if you're happy you're right, if you're unhappy you're wrong" ethics and I think it works pretty well. Sure there are things we have no control of that cause us suffering. I'm not saying that you cause all the suffering in your life. (You probably cause alot of it though.) But there are very joyful people that suffer a whole lot. We've all met them, or at least heard about them, and they're the people that everyone wants to be around. This is because everyone suffers, everyone has many things to be unhappy about, but damn it if some people aren't happy anyway. That's the basics for me of ethics. If you're happy then you can continue doing whatever you damn well want to. Please allow me to do the same.
Of course there are the happy criminals that Nietzsche talks about. But guess what? I've never met one. I've met criminals with a certain level of contentment (despicable people) but never a happy one. I shouldn't say they're all despicable. Most of them are though.
Actually, I think that doing wrong is something you can be content with, but living by wrong usually causes a lot of physical, mental and spiritual suffering.
Lastly, DO YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO PROSECUTE ALL THE CORPORATE FELONS WHO JUST GOT CAUGHT ?!
I didn't think so. Neither do I.

Had a really weird day yesterday. I went to a religious science chruch, which was a bit airy-fairy but had a good philosophy and great people. I am planning to go again. Also wrote some great theosophical stuff, then the lights went out at the coffee shop. I am trying to get my template right. Apparently there is something wrong with the server, so I have been tinkering with it. I also lost my whole template for a couple of days, so the last post will finally get published. Oh and I got a Gemini lighter. Bic is making astrological lighters now, and they rock. I promise I'll get to ethics, (I know you can't wait) but today I don't feel like writing a long post. See yesterday's post for some axiology. (that's the philosophy of value of which ethics is a part.) See you around. You could WRITE ME! you know. I know you won't but...
