You are too busy living it, and enjoying it, in the moment. If, on the other hand, "the destination" is the reason for your journey, you may have to suspend your peace and happiness until you get there. "Strong desires" can be sublimated, etaoin, but usually they have to be sated or extinguished to achieve a condition of meaningful peace and happiness. The American Heritage Dictionary defines "concupiscence" thus: "A strong desire, especially sexual desire; lust." A person can have a "strong desire" for peace or happiness, but they won't experience either one until they lose their desire for it. I think it is probably true that most of us have to desire peace or happiness to find them, but, once found, desire, like dew, evaporates in the morning sun. Some people find peace and happiness without looking for them. Or even desiring them. Whoever wrote "Zipidee Doo Dah" understood that. "Zipidee Doo Dah, Zipidee Ay My of my, what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine, plenty all day Zipidee Doo Dah, Zipidee Ay." Kids who are loved and cared for don't have to look for peace and happiness. They just have to rediscover them once they grow up.

But, rather, what Peter Boyle heard put succinctly in the 1970 feature, 'Joe,' "It's not a race." [Note: it's 34 years since I heard the line and if I ain't dead on, I'm in the ballpark.] Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: And your game is???? #122694 03/01/04 08:31 PM Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 164 Mississippi, United States Of ...

It is my experience that through the drive to obtain happiness, one is able to find peace and visa versa. Thus the journey is never ending, making it always something to strive for.

How wonderfully succinct. It looks like we are all in full agreement. "Peace is the concupiscence of happiness." Need we say more? Or need we say it again? The poignancy might go off this aphorism if we trot it out too often.

If the Reverend believes concupiscence will bring him happiness, at least he's laying it on the line. Ex-President Carter laid it on the line in a television interview back in the '80s, and his concupiscence brought him nothing but headaches. How times have changed!
