| This isn't going to be all 'everything's happy'. Just waring you. I've been going through some rough times lately. My emotions are like a rollarcoster. So I was wondering. What is happiness? Most people would just say 'it's when you feel good' but you should know by now that I don't take things that simple. If someone wins $10 in a lotterie they might be really happy. It might make thier day. But if someone else wins the same amount they could just say 'that doesn't even come close to what I've spent on these things.' Two differnt reactions on the same thing. Odd. So happiness depends compleatly on the person that is experiencing it. So I can look at any situation and I could possibly be happy. Interesting. So that leads me to the conclusion that there is no true happiness. I know you're already dissagreeing with me but hang on a second. Sometimes my thinking jumps steps that I can't explain. There is no true happiness. You have to convince youself that you're happy everytime. You're never truly happy. On some level people are always thinking 'should I be happy right now?' and then depending on thier mood and personality they'll decide if they should be happy. For some people that's anytime that you're not really, really mad. For others it's only when something amazing happens. When you realize this it really screws up your emotions. Maybe thats my proableme? To bad I can't stop thinking like ths anymore then I can change who I truly am. And for thoes of you that say you can change who you are, you're wrong. The way that you think will never change. Just the way you precive these thoughts and then present them to others. Another day in the life of a lonly philosipher. Such is life. C'est la vie. |
