It will be, in a hundred years, as if you never existed. You are of no more significance than a roach crawling across the floor.

Dude this sounds to me like the cry of someone wanting every one else to feel like him.

When I say "I'm happy" I am not boasting but either telling the truth of lieing.

Do you mean that you find it hard to believe that any one sans a god could honestly feel happy?

If this is the case does it not simply point out that people are different in they're take on what makes them happy?

I know someone who is not happy unless all her tea towels are hanging exactly level in her kitchen. This is a non-issue for her boyfriend but she has great difficulty seeing his perspective.

I would contend this is an identical sitution.

Its so sad

This is the Hawthorne Effect (my favourite effect).

The majority of human beings are affected by it. It is one of the ways in which we can learn and how we can have a co-operative society.

the way I am defining it.

Dude this type of comment sends shivers down my spine.

With it you could be meaning anything and none of us would be any the wiser.

I have always apprehended that boasting is to be a bragart.
