Georginia, no, actually...I did not take anything out of context, because the meaning of the word "OR" is "one or the other"..I said OR, and I meant OR! I specifically stated OR because I thought it would be ok to keep a semi informal discussion.
The purpose of references is so that people who are interested in doing the fact checking can do so. If you are so inclined, it takes all of about 1.5 hours to listen to all of these amazing talks, and all of about 1 millisecond to pull up the talks on Google.
It is really irrelevant to me whether or not you agree or disagree with the conclusions listed here. I am simply summarizing them, not arguing them.
I'm beginning to wish that I just kept this to myself.

Okay then some, contentment contendings from the sofa, feet on coffee table, chateauneuf du pape in rummer, unnerved by previous ponderings,
happiness is about attempts and progress towards a Big End Goal, to go where you want to, especially when it leads to the feeling of making the world a better place to live.
It's also about being accepted and respected within the social group in the special place that one desires.
To some happiness is about making others unhappy but happiness is mostly about making others happy instead.
Now, off to Bora Bora (if I win that lottery)
