Why is your cause your cause?

It's not a cause or an organisation, but you asked why someone put their energy and life into a thing - my 'thing' is pleasure, and I've made what I have out of my life because I believe in bringing people happiness. Not on any grand scale, no great transformative experiences or wide-reaching uplifting of spirits, but the people I meet in a day, by and large, are happier for having seen me. That's not a big thing, really, but it's enough for me - at the end of the day, I'm thinking of what I could accomplish tomorrow, not regretting what I didn't yesterday, and that's not such a bad way to live.

It was my wife's thing and I wanted a direction in my life, so goosestepping with aliens it was.

Now I'm divorced and the cause wants my kid back in the machine to continue being brainwashed away from dissidents.

I'd laugh if it wasn't me who I was laughing to.

Because I was asked kindly.
