Is It Ever Cold on the Moral High Ground?

I wouldn't know. I am not that friend. I am not the friend who is going to tell you to do what is right or judge you from straying from the virtuous life. In fact, if you are the one living a perfectly virtuous life, you probably won't want to be my friend anyway. I have glitches some might find unsuitable. I have determined they give me character. I think there is plenty enough good in following your gut. Your gut won't steer you wrong. It isn't going to fail you. As long as you can actually listen to yourself, your regrets will be minimal. Or at least that is what I believe. Your heart can be fickle and it will often fly in the face of all logic. Guts do too. Instincts aren't based in fact and they can get you in trouble, yes. But we still have them for a reason. Plus, it will indeed be quite cold and lonely on the moral high ground if doing what is "right" or "acceptable" is what is also making you miserable. If doing something doesn't come naturally to you and you are doing simply for the sake of other people thinking how good you are, how good are you actually? I advocate for happy. I advocate for not having the kind of regrets that keep you anxious and afraid past 2 am. You need to know yourself enough to know what you can and can't live with. What are you willing to do or not do and can you live with your decision in the morning either way? Now, I am not advocating violence and recklessness. I don't want anyone mean and nasty and I don't wish to hurt anyone. Those reasonable facts and whatnot are still quite useful. I still find being selfish and narcissistic disgusting. One of my favorite things to do is to burst those people's sickeningly egotistical bubbles. (See? Not perfect.) But it is ever so difficult to make another human happy if you are miserable. I really like to believe that we really should help out where we can. I still want to believe the best out of most of humanity. (Notice I said most. I am still a librarian.)

Be happy. Others who are happy will find you and you will make them more happy. The unhappy people will keep their distance from all that disgusting, repulsive happiness. Or you might just find that one vampire- cut them loose. You will know them because you will feel drained the moment they let you out of their presence and you will be relieved they are gone, even if you can only admit it to yourself. But most importantly, you have to live with yourself since there is no way to escape you. Be nice to you and choose happy.

Well that was a warm and fuzzy. I feel a little...uncomfortable. I might have out-happied myself. Or perhaps I am just so relieved I survived until Friday. TGIF!
