Maybe I was too quick with my sarcasm.  I simply cannot comprehend 
your wager.  Here's a more simple choice that I learned from a 
mysterious voice a long time ago.  The voice said, "People are as 
happy as they choose to be."

So in addition to:
  1. Everything-is-connect-to-everything.
  2. Everything-is-in-a-constant-state-of-change.
I will add:
  3. There is not now an answer, there never was
      an answer, and there never will be an answer.
  4. Choose to be happy.

I don't know.  But I like deer mice, dear men and dear women too.
Actually everything is dear.
