True happiness?

[brentonsbbe359]

That must be it.

Personally most people will NEVER be truly happy, or even close.
Because money makes to many people happy, and they want and want
no matter how much they get. Sure some people are satisfied for
a while if they won a bunch of cash.

Maybe if what you desire are not possessions then true happiness
can be found, I don't think most people in the modernist countries
or what ever you 'wanna call 'em appreciate what they've got but
if you take someone from a third world country and bring them to
a nice safe country, give them what they need to live and an opportunity
to make money to keep living then maybe they can be truly happy..

I'm fairly happy with my life even though I got shit all cash to
my name but hey, living in a sweet country. Got food, got a place
to live, got the cash to have some fun and got rights to make my
own decisions and say and do what I think is right so what more do
you want.. And of course I've got my family and got my friends and
my girlfriend

I dunno if it's just me and because I don't really fit the "normal"
lifestyle and don't fit societies mold or if it's something else
but I think to many people follow what's the normal thing to do..

Try to get a good education, work 9 - 5 at a job half the time you hate
lol but yeah, I think you have to really know who you are and what
you want and what's important to you before your even close to finding
true happiness.

I dunno, humans are way to hard to understand haha.

You prove a great point, but personally money doesn't make me happy. I like money because I need it; to pay food and bills. My family, friends, and my pregnant girlfriend make me happy.

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

money is only valuable because we believe in the fictional value..

[Grimjaw]

Well, what do you guys think would make a person truly happy? Or is it not even possible?

In my opinion, humans can never be truly happy. Humans always want more than they have, but it also causes them to develop. If humans were happy when they lived in caves, we would still be living in caves today.

People > Humans.

I will never be happy.

No matter how much it seems like good times, I'm still pissed off about things behind it all.

Anyone who values money to much won't be happy, at least truely..

Only people who learn to appreciate and love what they've already
got can be really happy. That's basically my whole idea without
going into to much detail about it.

Happiness with alcohol is pretending.

You're not my mother's uncle!

pussy and money

"I dont care for money. But apparently everyone else does. So thus, i need it"

Happiness, much like any other emotion, is simply a state of mind. In a world in which we dictate how we feel its up to our minds to convince ourselves we are happy. People bestow all their happiness upon a person. When they are near that person, they are happy. Some people chose to substitute people for money, some for achievement of goals, some for winning.. whatever their personal wants may be. The problem is, those things come and go too often for us to keep a prolonged form of happiness. But if we bestow feelings of happiness onto something which can never be taken away, such as nothing, we can always be happy.. right? If we convince ourselves that with nothingness we are happy, than in result we can be permanently happy, right?

I once believed this..

When i was a little younger and pretty suicidal, things were going terribly for me. For months upon months i was rarely happy. I was drinking regularly to escape from the world, i hid in my room from fear of the world... i ran away from life. I was always contemplating death, slowly planning it out, finding ways for my family to never discover the truth.. in short i was a wreck. Than one day i sat down.. and i thought up what i wrote above me. I decided that was the right answer.. so i put it into practice. I threw away everything of value and started life again.. with nothing. Of course i still had possessions, but everything of symbolic meaning to me i destroyed. I convinced myself that i would be happy, no matter what. I had my nothingness and i would be content with that. It was.. a serial feeling for a while, but it worked. But alas one day i sat down and just started thinking to myself. "Whats the point of always being happy? How can one truly appreciate happiness if he does not have pain to counteract it?".

True happiness is a concept that shouldn't exist. I do not want to be eternally happy, nor do i want to be "truly" happy with what i have. When i am happy, i will make the most of those occasions and do my best to make them worthwhile. When i am sad, i will accept it. I may cry, i may need a hug, i may sit down and write some poetry at times and i may even complain just a little. But i will do my best, to stay positive. I will do my best to not complain. Because I've learned, that no matter how sad i am, or how bad things become.. tomorrow is a new day and another chance to be happy. With crisis comes opportunity. With opportunity comes happiness. And i know deep down in my heart i will make the most of those happy times, because i know the pain of being truly alone, sadness without hope, lost without direction.

Yeah, very true some bits I think.
