When I went to sleep I'd left a notebook open on a table at an unfinished thought: 
there have to be as many.. .

for all the starving people... there have 
to be just as many people who aren't starving

the only reason we'd think that

but starving is ten times as bad as 
not starving is good
When I woke and found the notebook where I'd left it, underneath what I'd began, moth-er had finished: 
for all the unhappy people there have
to be just as many people who aren't
unhappy

And being happy is just as good
as being unhappy is bad

But the big question is - Are the people who
are not starving happy? Are the starving
people unhappy?

So many people both starving and not,
both happy and not, would think that a really
stupid question.  But is it?

Probably.

But maybe not

And by the way I find it really an unhappy thing
this damn big fluffy blue pen!!!!

and I aint starving, I can afford to buy placemats!
Though she finished off on a tangent unrelated to what I'd meant to say, she was right.. of course. ..

People don't think of everyday wonderful things as Good... ..   but they think of everyday awful things as Bad.. which is what I'd meant when I thought.. . .people take things for granted... It could just be that I refuse to believe that  there's an imbalance of good and bad... an overbalance of bad .. I do think everyone is in pain... but    perhaps it's just that .. uhh      sigh   I'd just be repeating myself now......... .
