my def. of happiness is: to achieve a certain peace of mind. to drop my mishegoss as much as possible and float serenely thru joyful times and float as sturdily as i can thru the trying times. to be okay with where i am, who i am, and what i have. that's contentment.
now this is just an aside, and i may be wrong, but although feminism has been great for us girls, (i am almost 50 years old), here is my point of view about men in my age group. let me know your feedback on my opinion here; okay, here it is: i will say it straight out, then y'all can let me have it.
i am so disappointed. i feel that our feminist "revolution" altho it didnt happen so fast, but was gradual, really ended up leaving the guys of my generation unprepared.
i just dont see many who can really handle an independent woman. they dont know how to handle me, they need me to tone it down, they want something completely different than who i am. hmm. that"s just been my experience. my issue, most likely. but, a real open, loving, sharing, helping, partnering relationship seems... rare to me. from what i can see from my experience and those around me.
so, yeah, maybe men seem happier over the long run. according to the thing you wrote above. i dont think i have seen that around me, is what i,m saying. so many guys in my gen. are... lukewarm. into themselves. very much so. insecure. cant commit. whatever. they dont seem too happy with themselves.
