What do you think about this theory?

Oh, I know exactly what you mean (very cool that you guys could tie it in with a name). We just call those people "simple", as in not complicated. I have known several of these people in my experience, and they are really, truly happy - and are absolutely wonderful people - they would give you the shirt off your back and all the money in their wallet and help you with absolutely anything if you asked! They are treasures, indeed. I'm glad that you, too, have had this experience. Now, interestingly, I married a man who appreciated the "simpler" things in life way more than I did. I had earned a high income, was very involved with keeping myself happy, had tons of friends, went out lots, etc. etc.. Suddenly I was married to a man who could catch a goose at the zoo and let me look at it close up. He came home once from work with his huge arms literally full of all kinds of wildflowers and beautiful grasses that were in a field nearby where he was working - I couldn't even see his head when I went to the door! Two years ago at Easter he brought me two ducklings, which I had never even seen before, let alone touched and played with - and they lived in our living room for a month before we took them to a waterfowl refuge. I cannot tell you in how many ways this educated, intelligent man has changed my life for the better. He comes from Europe, was raised in a rural atmosphere, and he came to Canada looking for me (he had had a dream). So, all in all, I love "brownie happy". (sorry for going on so long)

I would not say it is a "better" way of life, but it is much simpler. It's a kind of "what you don't know won't hurt you" type of life. You can't miss what you never had, so he doesn't feel he is lacking anything. I would not want to trade places with him, but sometimes it's nice to think of a life untroubled by the many (sometimes even dumb!) things we worry about. Three cheers for brownies!

The answer to your question is that he doesn't get mad about things he can't control and money doesn't buy happiness. You need to find the possitive in what you do. If you stand there long enough you'll find plenty of reasons your life could be better, but why. Work hard, honest and smile, and the rest will take care of itself.

I think that if he is happy then that is soo awesome, and yes in some ways his "simple" life is soo much better. He's not always asking for more, he doesn't want the bigger and better thing. He just wants to live his life happily with his wife.

i agree with u...most of us are all high maintenance and greedy and as soon as we get something we just want more...but to think of this man who is happy with simple pleasures like brownies not only shows he is living a better life but that his marriage is good...we got to caught up in who has what and whose stuff is fancier more expenisive...we should take time to enjoy the simple things in life.

I don't think that I would want to have brownies as the center point of my life...

You have to do what makes you happy - and if that's a complex life, then so be it. And if that's a simple life, then so be it too. Nothing wrong with it either way!!

??? Well think its what ever works for the person. You cant change your inner self. Some people are just that happy and some people are not. You have to find what makes you happy and do it.

i'd rather be brownie happy.
