True happiness is not an unsatiable lust for more [money, love, social status, etc], but a contentment with what you have. |

Before happiness can come, you have to have the other levels filled out. Which most can be accomplished with money. This is the easiest route to happiness, where you can find your calling and what you were "born to do" - what will make you happy. |

Let's just say we are both unhappy. |

Hahaha. Of course they will be charged if the payment is not prompt in 3 easy installments. |

We need more experiments to prove you both aren't flukes. I'll also take a $500,000. |
|
If I outright admit I am a fluke, would you still give me anything? |

Happiness - Not that hard to define really. I have felt all these emotions and it feels like this: Excitement, laughter, euphoric, intangible, infectious, warm, priceless, belly aching, silly and priceless. |

Nope - I chose it. I can honestly say I like to have others feel my happiness. Do you know what happens? You are lost for five ten minutes in nothing. Right down to making out. For those few moments of bliss (hopefully a good kisser) your mind is endless. I believe in what I typed. I wouldn't trade feeling happy for all the money in the world. I like to keep things simple. Sure we could talk environment (Jung) and all that crap. Why? I like those moments and I like to share my smile. When you smile you don't think. You just smile back - and have happy thoughts. You could probably solve world peace with a smile. I think people forgot to just feel. |

being happy is a mood, being in a mood is a way in which you relate to your surroundings and the world. in many ways it's how you view the world. |
|
society is full of people of habit and convention, never let your self become boxed into society's way of life. always follow the personality that grows inside you, only then can you be human.
Does happiness exist aside from a word? |
|
You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
And what's if the true happiness cannot be defined? Will you deny the ecstasy while being it - does it not exist? |

Hi tombe. Yeah i would agree with that statement. Course and effect sure. Would you also agree that your mood effects others? For instance, if I am sad; are you sad? If I am happy; you are happy? I thought a person could chose to be happy or sad. Could you cognitively change your mind? |

Happieness in my eyes is when you are feeling good, when everything is good..When nothing can ruin it. |
|
I couldn't care less.... |
|
Not the same thing, are they? |

Well no happy and joy arent the same thing..But everyone is "happy".. |

Happy is not boring, being bored is boring. |
