> I guess I feel a bit like Dinah in that I think she likes everyone to be happy as do I. I've spent my life trying to keep everybody happy. I figure if all is running smoothly, I've done it right. If not, then I'm wrong. Ridiculous thought I know, but if I could reconcile that thought process I might have half a chance at beating depression.
You are no more responsible for the happiness of others than they are responsible for yours. And who says happiness is everyone else's goal? Maybe we just want to be intelligent or no longer depressed or thoughtful or wild.
In line with the goals of this board, I'd support you in your quest to be happy. But if my goal here isn't happiness, couldn't you support me by allowing me to correct what I see as injustices or just bad grammar?
