Lately my spam comments have actually made me laugh because they have been so stupid. I usually get a comment like the ones I listed below and then it follows with this: I am from “where ever” and now teach English or learning, tell me right I wrote the following sentence:”Whatever the stupid sentence might be.” I’m sure you must be getting these also.

Here’s a better example of what I mean: Hi. So little time and so little to do. I am from Paraguay and also am speaking English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “Halifax share trading, these not were down for dealer and general products.” Normally I just delete the whole lot, but these caught my eye while scanning before I deleted them.

The first one below and the example above actually cracked me up especially the last part of the one below and I even grinned, now how funny is that?

1.Good morning. I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.

2.Good morning. The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.

3.Could you help me. Thomas Jefferson once said, ‘We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.’ And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.

You think he actually knew Thomas Jefferson?

4.Greeting. Oh, I don’t blame Congress. If I had $600 billion at my disposal, I’d be irresponsible, too.

5.Good afternoon. A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.

6.Good Day. Without the capacity to provide its own information, the mind drifts into randomness.

7.Badly need your help. Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort. Help me!

8.Hi everyone. The summer night is like a perfection of thought.

9.Could you help me. The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

10.Hello everyone. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

11.Could you help me. Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?

We rode to Chambersburg Saturday to the M&S Harley Davidson for the bike and Corvette show. They had live music and food vendors and this is usually what we do on weekends. There’s usually always something going on some place around us and it’s just what we do. I took a few photos because I like to put them in an album. I added just a few of the bikes that were entered in the show below, all money raised goes for a good cause. Bill was drooling over the older Corvettes.

I think the majority of people want the same things out of life, listed in no particular order of importance as I see them, happiness, love, acceptance and true friends, respect, security, money, nice home and loving family with partner and kids, power, knowledge and enlightenment, world peace and unity, abundance for all, enough time to do everything they desire, adventure, no sickness or getting old after a certain age, and I’m sure I could name more, but those seem to be enough. Everyone wants a Utopian world and society the only thing is not everyone thinks the same and as far as I can see it just “ain’t” gonna happen.

If we’re lucky or maybe luck has nothing to do with anything we may be able to check off a few of the things on my list, but certainly not all. Even those that seem like they have it all are often unhappy. We may be happy at certain points in our life, but for some reason staying in that state through out a lifetime seems very illusive for we humans. It reminds me of an episode of Twilight Zone where the gambler dies and he thinks winning is everything and that he would be happy to win all the time so they send him to his destination and the man simply can’t lose, no matter what game of chance he undertakes. He gets bored and tells the gatekeeper that he’s tired of Heaven and would like to go to Hell now. The gatekeeper looks at him and tells him this is Hell.

What’s my point? Even if we achieved everything we thought we wanted would it be enough? I don’t think so, is happiness just an illusion?

“Happiness is just an illusion caused by the temporary absence of reality.”

I always liked the above quote, too bad there is no one to attribute it to.
