I don't know about others, but I would rather be a person who can make a substancial contribution and sit back and "enjoy seeing people "happy" and in "peace". I don't know why we seem to need to "sacrifice" all the time to have something "life changing" that is "positive".

Isn't it enough that so many young men go off to "fight some kind of war" and see so much carnige and do this thinking that in order to "make some kind of positive change" they need to "sacrifice" themselves this way? Maybe even believe someone needs to tie a bomb onto themselves, blow up innocent people in order to "make a major contribution" somehow?

I am actually tired of the "I suffered so you can be happy" mentality. I am ready for someone to come along and "be happy and give others permission to be happy too". Happy doesn't have to mean a "shallow exisitance". Unhappy is more of a shallow existance to me, it bogs humanity down and our health care costs and pharmacudical supply proves that.
