harvey used to tell me that the defination of 'being happy" is:

to one who is starving .... it is food.
to one who is sick....it is health
to one who is old....it is youth
to one who is poor....it is money
to one who is lonely...it is a friend
to one who is misunderstood... it is understanding
to one who is a parent...it is the well being of a child
to one who feels hate.....it is love
to one who is at war....it is peace
to one who is afraid.....it is safety
to one who feels controlled....it is freedom
to one who dispairs....it is a dream
to one who seeks.....it is knowledge
to one who is thirsty....it is water
to one who is in darkness.....it is light
to one who feels lack....it is abundance
to one who is confused....it is knowing
to one who is rejected...it is acceptance
to one who is suffocating....it is air
to one who is hijacked.....it is rescue
to one who is critized....it is respect
to one who is dead....it is life
to one who is a jdc....it is abraham
to lois it is a laptop

and the list never ends.........it can be anything and everything, great and
small, needed or not. moment by moment, our definition of 'being happy'
changes and moves around as we do........and is also the exact same thing im
reading here that describes what "freedom" means, isnt it? i mean,
couldnt one also define 'being free' as ignoring traffic laws, shooting
guns in public, committing murder, rape, incest, theft etc etc etc?

and doesn't 'being happy' or 'being free' both mean "FEELING GOOD
NOW"? But if ya hold your mouth just right. it does almost sorta
kinda sound like you could hurt, kill or destroy and call it 'being happy'
or 'being free'. i remember wondering this too and this idea still gets
presented time and time again to abe at workshops. abe always says
that it is NOT possible to feel good and hurt something or someone else
at the same time.....PERIOD. that is just not possible for a person to
do something "bad" and feel 'good' doing it ...... that it just aint a
match and just cannot be.....that is--- if you cut thru the words to the
feelings which are the real truth. and yes....... of course we all
know you wont feel a thing when you get a tooth drilled IF you are
unconscious or have a little shot of novicane .......... but OMG ....
when that drug wears off or the person wakes up--------oh NOOOOOOOOOOO .
well, you know what i mean..... but abe says it so much better on the tapes.
