Just feeling a bit depressed this morning and was wondering how one tells if it was really worth it?
What is the measure of the productiveness of your life?
I find that the great accomplishments of my life are fairly meager and unimpressive. I don't think I've done any great harms in the world but on the other paw I haven't done much good either. I suppose that it pretty much evens out to a zero on that count in goods vs evils. I've wrote some stories, done some art work, all in all I've done more than I ever expected I would.
Still I find that when I scrape together all I have ever done it is a small pile that doesn't seem to amount to much.
I feel that while I have wasted most of my life at least I have not wasted it as badly as most. I'm fairly sure that I have not made the world a worse place and I have managed to bring a few laughs and smiles to people.
I guess that if you can make just one person happy for a while when they are sad you have not truly wasted your life.

that and that you're a good friend to many. and I count myself among that many.
There ya go. And you have made some happy people out there. I would say you have done an impact on some lives. A little impact is better than none.
Pleasure being What makes and keeps you happy...
Pain being what makes you sad or depressed cause no matter what you do it's one of those things you have to or feel like your obgliated to do.
The world is built on a system that says 'No pain, no gain.'... But hell... Theer's some that can have Gain and little pain. Either way you want and need are different from each other. I'd just find away to turn Pain to pleasure to sufice as I do in these days. <,<.... ^^;.... alittle wordy but get's what i'm saying i think...
