Unadulterated kindness.

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

Recently I attended a Mickey Dolenz concert with my son at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.

My nineteen year old son bought the tickets for us.

I was enjoying myself and participating in singing along with the audience parts of the show.

During a break in the music, a woman, standing in front of me turned around towards me and said, “You have a very nice voice.” I asked what she said and she repeated what she said.

I replied, “Thank you very much.”

That was an awesome feeling.

An act of unadulterated kindness made a great night even better.

Happiness.

When did happiness become a commodity? When was just “being” enough?

Finding happiness was created over 200 years ago. It is created with capitalism in mind. A marketing tool.

Finding happiness keeps you in that eternal loop of consumerism that never stops. Happiness is in the sky, water, trees, flowers, dirt and grass. Happiness is in all of nature. It’s free.

Finding happiness is in the love you feel for another human or creature.

It’s free.

Finding happiness is tasting food that you cooked. It’s free.

How did finding happiness become so costly?

Finding happiness now creates anxiety and a cycle of consumption and discontentment. This is sold as happiness.

Happiness itself is a state of mind and being that transcends material wealth, status, validation or possessions.

Look out the window.
