  1. happiness? I am perhaps not what you would call an expert on that, as I have no money, but kindly let me pull forward some points. I am very happy, so listen. All my youth and midlife, I had scores of friends..I worked many jobs, almost all unskilled labor minimum wage. Since 1986, I have devoted my life to helping others. I have founded non profits, worked for many, benefiting the homeless, mentally ill, and elderly populations- none that would benefit me except in satisfaction. In 2004 I turned Christian and began to study the bible, the first studying I had done since sixth grade. I taught bible, mentored, preached streets, then saw the true nature of the faith, and left it, writing two books and debunking the bible. My books were dissident in nature, and I was imprisoned, and then wrote another even more dissident book. My friends all distanced selves from me, and I became homeless, imprisoned repeatedly, and learned independence, discipline, and strength of character. I am now a revolutionary, have one friend I talk to on the phone havent seen him or any other former friend for over five years. i research 12-14 hours a day, send out an informative rebel newsletter daily, and carry the world on my shoulders, as i see death and destruction coming, and intend to save humanity, having strategies and ideas to solve almost every world problem. While I have no major relationships, no money, (I live in one room , have no car or stove, have a basic income of less than $18k, and yet have all I need, I am alone)I am full of confidence- my life has a purpose, i am independent, and am not sold-out, I have no strings or loyalties, bend my knees to no man or god, and am still sane at age 63. I exercise vigorously and eat a strict healthy diet, and have a body of a 40 year old athlete. My mind is sharp, I have influenced tens of millions of people by my writings, my life has a great purpose- i wake up every day and get to work immediately, not because I have to, not to make money (I have a government check) but to save humanity. I love my life, I love my work, I love my situation, and if you can match that, I would be greatly surprised. How many 60+ year olds are still sane? Relationships were fine, but I now have no time for them. My mission is all-important. I have had no days off for sixteen years, except for incarcerations, where I wrote half my books. Can you beat that Mr Millionaire>?
