I remembered creating my multiply account few years ago when I started to be a wild adventurer of life. There are a bunch of blog sites around, created accounts with them, but I decided to stick with my old dugout where memories were built and cherished.

♥ Psalm 46 ♥
1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the LORD has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Happiness
I am nothing but ordinary. I am an ordinary human being living in this extraordinary world. I love my life for it is comparable to a wheel. In life, gravity plays a vital role.
A flourishing life--a happy life--is one which consists of numerous requirements having been fulfilled to some degree. These include those things which preserve and maintain physical well-being such as, a certain level of material well-being, health, sexual satisfaction, good familial and friendship bonds, and a comely appearance. Additionally, certain intellectual and moral needs ought to be met as well. And it is a well ordered and just state and community which preserves the freedom to have such a life.
Thus eudaimonia--happiness--for Aristotle is an inclusive notion consisting of life in accord with intellectual and moral virtues, rational contemplation, and securing certain physical needs, such that one is flourishing.

"What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down" I have my rules but challenged to break them slowly. Life is what we make it. I am the author of my own happiness"This leads to Aristotle's notion of happiness to also include, not only the rational disposition to choose the mean, but also the disposition to choose that mean in accord with practical wisdom, reserved for those who are enlightened by having consistently lived the contemplative life. The contemplative life is one devoted to the highest objects of knowledge (for Aristotle this is ultimately a theological notion, but one which ought not to be confused with any christian conception of God).
