Separating fantasy from reality
By zevi770 · July 1, 2012
| Fantasy | Reality |
| I can eat drink and hence be merry | Through fulfilling a meaningful purpose i.e. giving eat and drink to others, you will be happy |
| Money will make me happy | Poor people are usually happier than rich people |
| Power will make me happy | The more power people get, the more miserable they become, for the higher the expectation, the lower the gratification |
| Sex drugs etc. will make me happy | They will only temporarily remove existential aimlessness and often leave you with a hangover |
| Ignoring my responsibilities will make them disappear | Has that worked? |
