A community about happy living. Thoughts and praxis about long-term wellbeing, contentment, and personal fulfillment.
A place to post profound, preferably long-form thoughts and discussions about such concepts which might not easily fit in other communities.
Probably will remain just a community for the admin to post stuff they found interesting, but feel free to post some stuff you find that matches or start discussions.
Rules
- No memes
- No toxic "wholesome" content.
- No smug, "dunking" or "better than thou" posts about others. (Community is meant to focus on personal improvement and fulfillment, not negativity and how we're doing it better.)
- No woo-woo, spiritualism and religion. (Community is not about spiritualism and new age mumbo-jumbo and things like "The Secret". It's a purely materialistic and secular space.)

Yup. That was more or less my response when this sort of bs was handed down to me in my teens. In short, "luck" doesn't matter if you're not able to act on it. Sure, being prepared is necessary, of course, but being able to access, much less afford said benefit(s) is absolutely essential βto the point of nullifying said "luck" completely if you can't. "Meritocracy" my pasty ass. π€¬π
