Is happiness the absense of problems? Is it what remains when you take off the imaginary sweater of perfection that weighs us down and insulates us from feeling happy? Do material things erase our thoughts of unhappiness? Fuck no...they are like sugar, a quick and very temporary fix...
I am going to asia soon and plan on red pilling asian hookers with my philosophy to see if I can form a sex cult...im still working on the details of the cult but I will get a lot of sucky sucky thats for sure...

That sounds nice and all, and I'm with you about being happy as a kid, but can you really just live in the moment? As you get older and have more responsibilities, those thoughts go out the window.
