1. I have to say I disagree. I think there are plenty of people who fit this description already. What I think it would take is a large number of people who desire the happiness of other people more than their own happiness.

   1. Fair enough. But don’t they say “charity begins at home”, which is for me what Bertrand was trying to say ?

2. Too many haters and trolls in the world 😦 but an excellent idea 😀

   1. Firmly agreed on that !

3. That is so true!

   1. 😀

4. Interesting thought- are some motivated more by the unhappiness of others than they are of their own happiness

   1. Could be, I don’t honestly know the answer … for me I strive for my own happiness, so this rang true for me

5. An incredibly interesting perspective! Wow, it totally throws some of the dynamics of my family into a very interesting light. I won’t go into any details but do feel utterly vindicated at my feelings! This was better than spending a fortune on a therapist!

   1. Glad for saving money on the therapist in some parts of the world they are more expensive than lawyers … happiness for me starts within oneself, or at least that’s what we should aim for … it’s a bonus then if others make us happy too 😀
