Someone once asked me “How are you so happy?” (for context, I was in the hospital and I would read the weekly world news for entertainment while in there. Good, light reading that didn’t take too much attention span and made me giggle) and I really wanted to answer “fuck you, that’s why.”
isn’t this Buddhism in a nutshell?

I feel like I would fit well with Buddhism
buddhism does not promote insulting in any way. It teaches respect and contempt
Buddhism goal is not to be happy, but to be content. Because being content will allow you to achieve Nirvana I guess.
Content = ecstacic when you compare it to the general public these days.
I think Buddhism acknowledges everything is suffering (sangai kaiku - zen)
