I think Australia should change its national flag to this:



It would certainly boost tourism.

Ace said:

I dont have a cat!!! Cats dont like me!

ZombieKitten said:

I am on topic. In my inner world, I engage in badinage on the Internet, whilst spanking it to Kylie Minogue's bottom.

LleeLlee said:

They're probably frightened 'cause you're not wearing a bowler.

Ace said:

I believe it

heartbeatocean said:

In your inner or outer world?

Ace said:

um....

what?

Ace said:

I'm wearing it right now.

heartbeatocean said:

Do you believe that I engage in badinage on the Internet, whilst spanking it to Kylie Minogue's bottom, in your inner or outer world?

Do you have an "innie" or an "outtie"?

LleeLlee said:

I am just wearing a bowl, is that OK? It was the best I could do

LleeLlee said:

With nothing else but a pair of black stockings and some strategically-placed duct tape?

Ace said:

I can't answer that. I'm in the process of deconstructing.

ZombieKitten said:

I guess at least paint it black.

Ace said:

Your inner world needs some work dear.

ZombieKitten said:

A bushy bowl?

LleeLlee said:

You naughty girl!

Ace said:

OK, so seriously, I was driving along today in my car, listening to a song I like, and my heart was swelling with joy, for no particular reason other than I was driving along listening to a song I like, and I can't share that with anyone, I couldn't even begin to tell someone how happy I was. My inner world, sometimes a bit of a rollercoaster, but also filled with these moments.

I saw some boats on the bay yesterday and they were like a mirror to my inner world

my inner world is like a great blue bay with phantom boats upon it

Intense happiness is a great feeling. It can be difficult to articulate those emotions because you cant find the words to do them justice. I think your demeanour can convey it though, just seeing that look on a persons face.

My inner world looks out its peephole and wonders at the insanity that passes for normalcy. Then it feels quite smug and chuckles to itself in a self-satisfied way, marveling at how easy it is to manipulate people. Then it pats itself on the back for using its powers for good instead of evil.

LleeLlee said:

and how can you explain that you feel that way for no real reason? I would love to hear that others get this too now and then, I would hope so. Since I don't believe in happiness as a constant state, though I think you can bank your happiness moments and refer to those.

ZombieKitten said:

I dont think you need a reason. I agree that happiness is not a constant, in fact I think its fleeting (not to sound morbid) I think we need those moments to help us deal with despair, to draw them out of our memories and sedate us when we need it lol. I think one of the rarest states is a feeling of complete inner peace, that feeling when your mind is empty except for this tranquility, like all your emotions have converged into one and life is perfect.

LleeLlee said:

Like the way you felt with my "Something Big is Coming!" thread?

LleeLlee said:

Yes, absolutely happiness is fleeting, and I truly think those who expect happiness to be a constant state are only going to make it difficult for themselves to even achieve that neutral, even level (call it peace, or call it contentment). I think the search or expectation for happiness will most likely lead to discontent and sadness.

It's quiet and calm and I can breathe
I feel relaxed
I feel blessed
