Inside the Happiness Racket

3. I think one can recognize injustice and still pursue inner happiness.

George Carlin said he was a pessimist when it came to his world view and an optimist when it came to his personal life. I have dealt with depression and anxiety all my life stemming from losing my mom to breast cancer when I was 3. I know how short life can be and how happiness truly is worth pursuing. I also know that there are great injustices in the world that we must fight. My husband had a heart attack last week and here I am on a political message board talking politics and social and economic injustice and yet I am so incredibly grateful I still have the love of my life with me today. We should fight injustice, but life is short. I say find what brings you real joy. It may sound like a cliche but it is so true.
