I saw this in print today:

"To paraphrase Gandhi, happiness is when what you think, say and do are consistent with each other and consistent with your values. ... health and lifestyle is not only tending to one’s ... emotional well-being, [but] also tending to one’s physiologic well-being. ... It’s more than reducing stress. It’s tending to what

So do I. I think being consistent with oneself is key. I can't think of anything worse than living a lie or being made to do or say things that go counter to one's values.

Of course, if you follow that line of thought, you could say that a murdering psychopath with no regard or respect for human life is at his/her healthiest when chopping people up. -__-

Hopefully, for the rest of us, going after our heart's pursuits and speaking up with honesty shouldn't be too taxing for society. And I ramble completely. *sneezes* Damn cold. @_@

*lies down*

*g* Nah! The murdering psychopath is just an outlier in our little continuum of life, so I'm not seriously considering him when I talk about being in synch. ^_^

*dies laughing* Speaking up with honesty? Taxing for our society? Good heavens .... just as an aside, do you listen to NPR? Our society prefers to keep its collective head in the sand and act completely amazed when someone does something unprecidented ... oh, like fire eight US attorneys, something that's never been done during ANY administration - and then claim, "oh, fine, I'll take full responsibility, but there's no problem, oh, none at all ..."

Feh. Liars. >_<
