for.( Berridge) But the way that humanity is continuing is leading them down a road of the opposite result. The less happiness in the race of humanity results from their focus on the differences between them has led them to be incredibly unhappy, and this unhappiness also leads to the destruction of their health. As humans get older, the closer relations they have, the less deterioration of their physical and mental health occurs.( Mineo) Those with better connections retain the state of their memory longer and are in an overall better state of health. This means that their leading themselves away from happiness will eventually destroy them.

One of the most important worrying traits of the human psyche that I forgot to mention yesterday, was the incredible lack of meaning in the lives of these humans. As their famed philosopher Aristotle accurately describes, the two ways to be happy in life, is hedonia, which is pleasure and more instant gratification, and the second is eudaimonia, which translates to meaning. This is my essential problem. In their lives, humans go around so involved in their technology, and so addicted to the drug of instant gratification that they are deeply lacking eudaimonia.( Berridge) The meaning in their lives has devolved into something that is deeply connected to unimportant things, such as the way that other people think of them. However I must take into account that humans feel meaning and happiness differently, and there is a chance that these fabulous but corrupted beings will be able to further evolve and become beings that are able to find meaning and happiness in even the darkest of moments, which is essentially what it means to be happy, which is being able to bounce back from difficult situations with optimism. So here I sit, upon my cloud contemplating the decisions that I made long ago and their everlasting implications. Waiting to see whether my efforts will result fruitfully, or whether their species will wither and fall from the tree of life as a comet would from the sky.
