To see people turned on by possiblities.
I spent the whole evening on the patio discussing a letter to the President of Finland, Tarja Halonen. We think it is time for a debate about Happiness.
We are not expecting answers - we think that part of the role of President is to open debate.
We will write this letter in the next 4 weeks and use our media contacts to ensure the question is aired.
Being creative is part of the answer ;-) You can't be me, I'm taken
So, will you be on the pro-Happiness or anti-Happiness side? What position is Halonen expected to take? "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
I'm sure I remember reading that one of the measures of success for Tibet is happiness of the people.
Anyway, do you like my photos? Ad astra per aspera
Personal happiness is internally relative. It's about hormone activation, not about questionnaires. You can't be me, I'm taken
But don't most governments make some mention of dignity in their Constitutions, etc? It's the actual legislation and its enforcement once the debates are over that impact people's lives - not the debates themselves. "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
Also, I'm not sure where I come down on government intervention in existential matters like happiness. That's the America (libertarian) in me: I want the gov't. to respect my right to be utterly depressive.
Your photos: you look like you are having fun with your new gizmo. I'm not very interested in the technique of photography or in taking pictures. But some photography appeals to me. In fact, when I go to the museum, it is always the first room I visit. And I recently stumbled upon Velibor Bozovic, whose work I like very much.
I like the blue picture. I love things that are blue. "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
We decided it is worth putting time into. We are capable of writing a letter that we can ensure will come to the president's attention. What we don't know is the reaction.
But there is nothing to lose... You can't be me, I'm taken
