Big Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just believing in silence
With your mother like a true beginner
Happiness
The silver the gradual decay
Disillusion of yourself
Happiness happiness
Look over fluorescent snow
The gasoline coffee
Look at you, big enough
For happiness happiness
Happiness
The paint chips the frame rusts
The wind slips the clutch burns
Grapes mississippi river
Happiness happiness
Happiness
The song "Happiness" by Big introduces the listeners to the character of Joe, who seems to embody happiness itself. The lyrics suggest that his mere presence can bring about positive changes in one's surroundings. His smile is powerful enough to make the lilacs bloom, and his presence causes the angels to sigh in delight. The song talks about how even in tough times when the cabin is gloomy and the table is bare, his love for the singer makes everything feel like Christmas. The presence of Joe in the singer's life takes away all the troubles and makes life seem easygoing. The singer doesn't need to worry about anything else as long as Joe loves her well. Thus, for the singer, happiness is just a thing called Joe.
The song talks about the power of love and how it can change a person's life for the better. Joe's love is so powerful that it can make everything seem perfect even in the worst of times. The song comes across as an ode to a lover who has a transformative effect on the singer's life. Through the lyrics, Big paints a picture of a world where love and happiness are not just emotions but a tangible entity embodied by a person.

"The first Truth is 'All is suffering.' First of all, as a belief it’s false because suffering is a comparative term and comparative terms can’t be extended to everything. 'It’d be like saying everything is tall.' It really means something more like 'All is threatened by'.
Suffering now means something like ‘pain’ or ‘distress’ but that’s not really what the word originally (or etymologically) means. Suffering means ‘to undergo.’ To lose agency. So you can actually suffer joy — experience so much joy you lose control of yourself. (Pain is certainly one common way of losing agency — it’s very disruptive, usually preceded by damage — which is probably why our current sense of the word aligns more to that example.) So the Buddha isn’t saying 'everything is painful.'
Most of the Buddha’s metaphors aren’t pain metaphors they’re entrapment metaphors. Being fettered. Losing your freedom. Losing your agency.
The Buddha has famously said: 'Just like wherever you dip into the ocean it has one taste, the taste of salt, no matter where you dip into my teaching it has one taste, the taste of freedom.' So with this Truth he’s saying something more like: 'realize that all of your life is threatened with the loss of freedom, the loss of agency.' The word for this type of loss is dukkha."

Look up John Vervaeke's work. In particular, his series "Awakening From the Meaning Crisis" discusses Buddhism throughout, but two episodes in particular that he dedicates to it...
Episodes 8
The Buddha and "Mindfulness"

@TheSkystrider ,
We do not determine The Way... we do dictate the revelation of relevance... God is the source of that revelation which goes deeper than your subconscious...
Religio... the mythos... the symbols, the ritual... is psychotechnology that let's you activate, articulate, appreciate, accelerate... the process of transcending the meaning crisis.
It is ineffable... it is the infinite possibilities that overehelm... until... the unknowable... reveals what is relevant out of the infinite possibilities... cultivating your trancendant growth...
The cognative interaction of problem solving to achieve fittedness... what is relevant cannot be defined... but the evolution or the realization of relevance can have a theory...
Fittedness... Relevance... is guided... and the undefinable Relevance, and fitting to what is relevant... all are of God... God is the unfefineable essence...
Relevance Realization is...
Sub propositional
Sub conceptual
Sub egoic
Sub conscious
Fundamental grounding
Relevance Realization Religio, the sense of pre egoic binding that grounds the self and its world together.
The way that can be spoken of is not The Way.
You are not the Light that shines on your path... you cannot find your path without the Light.

What ways can you think of to become antifragile?
Alan Nguyen
gratitude, I am grateful for failure, for making mistakes, for being rejected, You can't be antifragile if you don't love pain, suffering and embarassment.

Doing what I want to do rather than just thinking of it all the time. Not getting stuck in the planning phase forever. I think it would make me a lot happier :) and help me to be comfortable with getting out of my comfort zone.
Leif
@Rob Tallon I don't see any way to do that unless you are masochistic..fuck pain I have had way too much of it..this life has taken too much from me for me to be as happy as free as when I was a child..and whatever other happiness is meager and unacceptable compared to that..
