I've found what one needs to feel good about oneself and one's life. It isn't enough to just be happy. You have to find something that brings you immense joy. I was very unhappy until a while ago, when I found my passion for computers. Now I am in a constant state of euphoria directed towards technology. Every day is a new day. Every day I wake up thinking "I wonder what amazing thing will happen today. I wonder what fantastic journeys lie before me. I wonder what the future holds for me." It's a wonderful feeling. I can become completely lost in my source of ecstasy, and nothing else matters. As I continue my work I will become more and more skilled at what I am doing, until I am completely changed and can do things that astound others. Someday, I will be a master hacker, and it will be because of my passion, and my ability to experience joy. I think that's what we all need: euphoria.

Just curious, what your avatar circuit is for? It looks like stuff ("computers") I use.

I have no idea what it is. I just think circuits are cute, so I used a circuit board as my avatar.

Good on you guy. I found a job as a computer/network technician recently but I still go into work depressed as hell. Unfortunately the only way I can get euphoria is by using drugs (of which I have several different kinds) or by listening to certain kinds of music while drinking lots of coffee. :( Even doctors tell me to get lost because they think I'm bad news.

8) I get Euphoria from computer games and it always makes me feel better. I find that trance and happy hardcore music tend to induce euphoria for no apparent reason, they just trigger my brain! And yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with taking recreational drugs on special occasions 8)

The blue parts around the edges are connectors for wiring, so I would suspect that is some kind of industrial controller.
