If they loved me, they would know what to do to make me happy

If the world really loved me, it would know what to do to make me happy. If my wife really loved me, she would know what to do to make me happy. And if my buddies, business partners, and others I deal with, really loved me, they would know what to do to make me happy. And they would do it without asking. Just make me happy, that is all that I ask of the world.

And show me how much you care by knowing what I need to make me happy.

Is that too much to ask?

After all, you have nothing else to focus on or think about other than my happiness. So you should be able to figure it out.

I am that selfish and self-centred. All that I have is an unfocused and inchoate desire to feel good.

I don’t feel a moment of hesitation in feeling and demanding happiness from you and everyone around me; without the benefit of specificity or details.

And I am only responsible for the demand for happiness. All I know is, I want to be happy, all the time. But if you said “okay, what will it take and I will do it for you?” I could not tell you with sufficient detail what it would take to make me happy.

If, in the odd situation, I have an idea of what would make me happy, I would not tell you. For if I did know and tell you, that would make me accountable and responsible. I would be fully responsible for the results. Accountability is a problem that I like to avoid.
