    Calvin desires to be euphoric, but desire leads to misery.

    Try not to complain about this to your parents, Calvin.

    I’m sure standing around talking to himself will give Calvin the euphoria he needs.

    You can’t be happy and content and yet know it. It’s like Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.

    This is actually sound advice. Most of my problems have stemmed from me thinking WAY too much.

    Many Americans have stopped thinking, it’s why we have the politics we do. We’re far from being ahead!

    Overthinking can give you a headache, Cal. And to others around you, too.

    So now to follow the American way, you must be offended and feel marginalized. Find someone to blame and prepare to demonstrate and riot!

    Euphoria follows a success based on impulse and action. Taking a chance that pays off as hoped. Planned activity with predetermined outcomes — satisfaction without the high.

    Yeah. I get that. There’s not a happy moment I can remember that I didn’t think into a bad omen. Except my wedding, of course. …sigh.

    The mind can be a dangerous trap if you go too deep. That’s what I hear anyway, mine doesn’t have a deep end.

    I’m not in any pain today, I have food and a nice home, and someone I like to talk to. Not euphoria, but pretty good.

    Hey, you’re better off than George Carlin. He was often fine. He was occasionally dandy. Not one time in his life was he fine and dandy.

    I saw Edward Everett Horton when he was about 80 on Johnny Carson. Carson asked the obligatory secret of your longevity question. Horton said, “At the age of 18 I gave up all serious thought.” Don’t know if he was quoting someone or it was his gag but I took it to heart.
