Transcript:
Rat: I do so many things to try and make myself happy. But none of it ever works. Maybe the key to happiness is to do things for other people instead. Goat : Wow, Rat. That's a pretty profound thought. Are you really gonna start that? Rat: Nope. Rat: April Fools is the best day of the year.

Hey, Rat: Mr. Lyon called. He wants you to call him back at 1-800-ZOO-CATS.

April Fools is the best day of the year…. until you hit fifth grade when you learn just what a lame day it really is. At least that’s how it was for me.

Been there done that, didn’t make me happy, doing things for myself didn’t either. Yet being dirt poor finally did it. Guess having lots of money was hindering my happiness.

Living for others is not even the real goal. The principles of existence simply don’t allow it, so if a human claims that you know it is a vicious posture intended to dominate now or win riches in Heaven. Watching the moods and contributing to local joy, is not “living for others.” You have to live for yourself, but you have to be noble, like a god or goddess. Many souls equi-aimed to support joy, oddly enough, produce joy.
