what's the difference? tribalists always justify their actions with 'they started it, they are the real tribalists'

for me, it's hard to dislike anyone who is honestly happy, regardless of which groups they're part of

If you're honestly happy while many are visibly unhappy, there is either sociopathy or a certain cluelessness to it

I think happiness comes, in large part, from a sense of worthwhile purpose / that doesn't square with either sociopathy or naïvety

I happen to think that 'worthwhile purpose' is practically the sine qua non of both. It's the genesis construct for tribalism

Interesting. I wonder, though, how many seemingly elevating pursuits prove incompatible with happiness in practice (e.g. joining ISIS)

Also interesting: how frequently unhappiness and disillusionment become one and the same

so any talk in terms of happiness is necessarily social. The opposite (core of anti-tribalism) is striving http://amzn.to/2hW8ftP

I can see how happiness is social, esp. if derived from helping others / not so clear on the rest
