people that report eating regular balanced meals report feeling less hungry than people who who never know where their next meal is coming from.

I've also heard that people that claim to be happy are insane - or are the worst in a delusion.


The reason they are happy is because the do not face reality and what is actually going on so that depressed people are facing reality while those that are happy are really delusional.

I disagree. It is merely a matter of perspective, and a matter of how one interprets what he is experiencing. For example, is an eight ounce cup filled with four ounces of water, half full, or half empty????

They've done studies on happy people and found they are far better at self-deception then depressed people. Depressed people see things the way they are, where as happy, more competitive, in the thick of things in life people more readily lie to themselves.

I'm not saying I agree with this perspective - just said I have heard of this viewpoint.

That is not including the CEOs who have been bled dry by their ex-wives, who can easily be as bitter as anyone!

I'm so-o-o tired, i don't know what to do
I'm so-o-o tired, my mind is stuck on you
I wonder should i call you, but i know what you would do-oo-oo-oo . . .

You'd say i'm puttin' you on
But this is no joke, it's doin' me harm
You know i can't sleep, i can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, i'm goin' insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind . . .
