15 Trivia Tidbits For Your Wednesday
How does one enjoy this list of interesting facts? It's a simple question with an answer that's much more complex. We know what makes us happy. It's a fairly simple equation: things that make us happy also make others happy, therefore we should do them. That's what we call a moral imperative. And as for the things that make others happy, well, it's the same thing. And the more people who are happy, the happier everyone will be. It's an inescapable chain of cause-and-effect. But there are times when the chain breaks. There are times when we feel happy but we are not doing those things that make others happy. For example, it's impossible to enjoy a nice meal if you're feeling unwell. The meal might be wonderful, but it won't be enjoyable. And it's not just a matter of personal choice. The heart wants what the heart wants. The mind has no choice but to follow. And this is where the list of interesting facts comes in.
