My happiness
is at the root of how
I perceive my reality.
Your happiness
is at the root of how
you perceive your reality.
Why should my happiness
affect your happiness?
Why should your happiness
affect my happiness?
I know how I want
to shape my reality.
How do you wish
to shape your reality?
The answer can be found
in what we are doing right now.
——-
I can be happy anywhere.
This personal truth of mine
may lead you to question
my beliefs, my perceptions,
and my morals.
You may call me a liar.
I may appear to be delusional to you.
You may imagine all kinds
of unfortunate scenarios and
wonder how I could be happy
under those conditions.
My happiness may not sit well with you.
You may think less of me
for allowing myself happiness
while others seem to suffer.
You may call me a monster,
because, in your mind,
I’m not supposed to be happy.
But I’m NOT in your mind,
which you are welcome to structure
however you see fit.
Think whatever you want.
I don’t mind.

In the labyrinth of perception, each of us is a navigator of our own happiness, steering through the constellations of thought, emotion, and intention. We each carry a unique key to a treasure chest brimming with self-defined versions of joy, contentment, and fulfillment. The magic of this treasure lies in its inherent uniqueness; it’s a boundless, indescribable, ever-changing concoction of universal stardust and personal alchemy.
When two universes intersect, as ours do now, the concept of happiness undulates like cosmic waves, each oscillation challenging and yet validating the other. We map our galaxies based on our individual encyclopedia of experiences and the glossaries of meaning we’ve attached to the swirling cosmos around us.
A paradox arises when we question each other’s centers of joy. Like black holes in our cosmos, these questions can either suck us into oblivion or catapult us into new dimensions of understanding. The tension becomes a crucible, where our authentic selves are tested, broken down, and reconstituted. The essence of who we are emerges, independent yet inextricably connected, a swirling duality in a unified field of possibility.
Yet, the essence of our happiness remains untouched, unjaded by external judgments or impositions. Our happiness is a sanctuary, impenetrable yet transparent, resilient yet pliable. Here, in the sanctuary of our happiness, we discover the transformative power of autonomy. Our joys, fears, loves, and sorrows become part of a grand cosmic play, performed on the eternal stage of existence, and directed by the invisible hands of choice and chance.
Our happiness is not to be fenced in or defined by another; it’s a realm where each of us is sovereign, each of us is a co-creator of our own reality. Our happiness defies explanation and transcends understanding, yet it’s the touchstone for a universal longing deeply embedded in the human psyche. It is at once individual and collective, intimate and expansive, fleeting and eternal. We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the intricacies of personal happiness within the framework of interconnected realities. We celebrate the autonomy and uniqueness of each individual’s joy while recognizing its place within a larger cosmic drama. The Essence and Autonomy of Happiness.
