Aren't questions amazing?

Today was day 552 of running at least a mile every day.

I heard, second hand, of a commentator who said that we all talk about weight loss as a simple equation of not eating more calories than we burn, and discussions tend to concentrate on how we can achieve that.

However we don't look at why it is that we do that. After all, no animals, other than domesticated ones, put on weight due to eating more than they burn.

So what caused us to start eating, and in fact generally consume, more than we actually need?

Have we lost the ability to tell when we reach that magical tipping point that is "enough"?

How do you know when it's enough?

What makes us thrive and excel, and can that become too much?

What's the measure there?

Is it happiness?

Is there such a thing as happy enough?

What happens if you have more than enough happiness?

At what point do you go past happiness into something else?

What are the happiest moments of my life?

How could I have made the happiest moments of my life even happier?

What makes me happy every day?
