Ep. 408 - Mood Happy
We begin as always
with the Happy Creed.
We believe in Happy,
in Balance and Growth,
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.
Yowza

My Happy Friends!
Why are we all saddled with these various human moods?
What reason is there for such a mess of sensitive interludes?
The primary moods, as I call them, of Mad, Sad and Glad,
And the secondary moods of Guilt, Fear and Hope--
Why are we subjected to each and every emotional doodad?
What is their purpose, their measure, their scope?
Why must we be victims of such strong feelings that so intrude,
Are they not a sign of great weakness and all that that may include?
To that I say, nay,
It’s only weakness to be at their mercy, letting them win night and day,
Being able to handle them is our right, get them to obey,
For that is
The Inherently Happy Way.
It’s a human thing, it’s very plain,
Please allow me to explain!
Glad is for bonding and for making close friends,
Sad is for empathy and for sharing troubles and pains,
Mad is a warning of danger, and unpleasant ends.
Fear is the jolt that helps us escape ropes and chains,
Guilt is the shame that compels us to change and make amends,
And Hope is the outlook that encourages both hearts and brains.
They are tools, they are instruments, they are partners, pals, and chums,
And when wielded expertly they can help you face whatever comes.
So, make friends with your moods, get to know how you feel,
Practice them till you own them, or they’ll control your steering wheel.
Only use them as needed, don’t go wild, or get unhinged,
And the passions that might’ve overwhelmed you, will barely leave you singed.
Haha
