I don’t know if this idea will fly like an eagle or sink like a lead Zeppelin, but let’s give a a try. The weight loss threads have been very successful, and I wonder if philosophy/happiness/meditation/yoga thread might be just as helpful to us. There are a few of us here who dabble in it, and there might be some interest.

This is the place for presence, happiness, and peace. Snarkiness, doubt, and general threadshitting is unwelcome. This is a place for joy.

Let’s start with an agnostic thought:

May all be happy  
May all be without disease  
May all creatures have well-being  
None should be in misery of any sort
