Heard this, thought it was worth repeating.

Happiness is directly proportional to acceptance and inversely proportional to expectation.

That sounds like math equation speak.

See I heard, Happiness is inversely proportional to poverty? So, Does this mean poverty is proportional to expectations? Did i think through that right? So poor people expect to be poor? That can't be right?

I agree with the acceptance part. As for expectations, I don't buy it. Happiness is about meeting and exceeding expectations. All you need is to have low expectations, and everything is great!

SJV said...

Alright, I guess that's the point. The lower your expectations, the higher your happiness. And not having any expectations at all makes one supremely happy.

Alright. I'll buy it now.

Definitely a little math and logic tables.
I think Craig tried to go pure math with it and that's just not going to work... obviously. Ha ha!

Michael J Fox said this in reference to his dealing with Parkinson's. I didn't say that initially because then you just apply his situation to the quote.
That's too easy. It's how it applies to you that matters.
