Happiness is how we feel about our life,
about the accomplishment of strife.
It ranges on a scale from extremely high to utterly low
the latter is a problem though.
For scaling happiness down
makes us morally frown.
It is bad
to make others sad.
That is true
for animals too.
What makes me happy
is to see
others do
what’s good for you
oh dearest to my heart,
animals receiving their rightful part.

Speed may be good.
You get more things done.
But don’t forget to live in the meantime.
and don’t forget the lives of others.
Speed may be bad.
You are taking risks.
So don’t forget you are alive
and don’t forget others are as well.
Find your natural pace.
It is in-between speeding and slow motion.
Accelerate just for fun.
Slow down as well sometimes,
just to enjoy the fun of it
and to find your natural pace.
Let it wax and wane.
Play with it.
Enjoy it.
So you won’t forget to live
and appreciate the natural speed of other creatures,
whatever that may be.

What are values?
Are virtues values?
What about duties?
Needs?
And resources?
Do you value human life?
The lives of animals?
Plants?
Bugs?
Viruses?
Do you value imaginary lives?
Extra-terrestrial life perhaps?
Do you value virtual life?
Are values virtual?
Do you value death?
What about a good death?
Eu-thanasia?
Dying for a cause?
Do all values have a magnitude?
And how is it quantified?
Is all value worth money?
And all money value?
Is there a common value denominator?
Are some values more valuable than others?
Is there a Maslowian pyramid?
Basic values at the bottom
Esoteric, philosophic ones on top?
Or instrumental ones down under
and intrinsic ones above?
Inherent or intrinsic
Aesthetic, moral or monetary?
What about conflict?
Is there a pecking-order among values?
Is more value always better than less?
And what is it that creates value?
We humans?
What about animal values?
And values for plant?
Can we fundamentally value the wrong things?
Value what is not of value?
Or does anything become of value only because it is valued?
Can there be anything of value left if there is nobody left to value?
Value all that values
Value more
Value all values
Even value what is not valued
Because valuation generates value
Value everything
Even nothing
I want to feel good about my achievements, because
a. I’m approaching the end of my life. If so, find your solution here.
b I’m still young. If so, better focus on your future instead, or else find your solution here.
c. I’m in the blossom of my life. If so, again better focus on your future, or find your solution here.
Why would you want to give to do good to others, e.g. give to charity? Are they worth it? Are you so fortunate by heritage or inheritance, or did you practice cunning theft? If you now wallow in wealth and thus can do some good by dropping a few dimes down the gutter, find your solution here.
If not, be blessed! Now, don’t you think you are a saint. So, go back to ‘normal’ and watch an add or do some valuable shopping.
.
Why would you want to do good for yourself, e.g. make love? You selfish egoist! Here is your solution.
.
Do you really think you can save the world? What makes you think so? Who do you think you are? God? Your solution is this.
Making money is a means to an end. It is not an end in itself. Go back, or find your solution here.
.
Why would you want to guide others? Who do you think you are? Nelson Mandela? The pope? Peter Singer? Mother Teresa? Jane Goodall? Einstein?
Unless you actually are, of course, this is your solution.

If you have seen enough adds, go back, or do some value shopping.
If you are inclined to follow my advice, please note that you are probably not well adapted to this competitive, evil world. In other words, you are probably too good for this world. Therefore, you are definitely worth saving. We need you! So, please find comfort in this thought and then go back to ‘normal’, i.e. watch an add, or do some shopping.
However, if you were not inclined to follow my advice in the first place, you may well be adapted to this world. If so, my advice certainly remains this (but see our disclaimer too).
Postscript: The irony about suicide and its evolutionary complement, the decision not to have any children, is indeed that the wrong kind of people commit to it. Human selection processes are directing us into an unwanted future. Present day free-market democracies lead to excesses like unbounded egoism and seriously compromised animal welfare. The world would be much better off with a lot less people, but we can’t afford to lose the volunteers!
