Quoting James McConvill's article on Online Opinion: "It’s time for positive politics" ...

The architect of positive psychology, Professor Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania, wrote in his best-selling work, Authentic Happiness (Random House, 2002), that “people want more than just to correct their weaknesses. They want lives … with meaning, and not just to fidget until they die.”

While James' article calls for what he calls "Positive Politics" to replace the artificial Left and Right of current politics, I'm focussing on this quote.

I'm definitely wanting a life "with meaning" ... all this fidgeting just drives me bonkers.

For me, a life with meaning™ is not just about having a nice job, its also about being able to do something I find worthwhile.
