Are you happy?

mmmmmm actually happiness is never constant neither the sadness. Things change. Sometimes they change to make us laugh and sometimes they change to make us cry. It is one interesting topic to discuss.
Much like you and others, I have gone through many experiences and therefore, learnt a lot. Not only from my own experience but also tried to learn from the experiences of others (that is what we should do right?) and up untill now what I am able to understand is that NO ONE IN THE WORLD IS REALLY HAPPY FROM INSIDE. Everyone has his own problems and other things which come in the way and NO ONE is SAD either. They laugh, they sing, they dance and they do a lot of things. So to say that YES, I AM HAPPY or I AM SAD is wrong.
Some people face more bad times in their lives than happy moments so for them and others, they are sad and some spend a life full of joy and fun - for them the life is great and they feel happy.
Bottomline – it all depends on what kind of phase your life is going through.
Edited to type.. ZEE!!

@Zee: Yep, happiness and sadness are a state of being. Just like the weather. However, hapiness and sadness can linger or can be brief. What is interesting is that being too happy can only be beneficial where as being too sad or (depressive) is not beneficial and can actually induce people to die.
Both are really opposites. In other words, extremes just like adoring and hating.
Take care, philosophers! :-)!

I’m getting there!! I can be happy on the surface, but deep down, I am not, but things are starting to turn around for me, me being optimistic. In the general sense, no I am not happy, not anywhere near that yet, not just about this war, but the way my personal life is going. I have no love of my life (no girlfriend/wife), I am not financially secure now, my credit rating is shot to hell, and for the longest time, 4 years or so, I’ve been having trouble landing a decent-paying job, preferably in the music business. This resulted in me building up a large debt. Total hell, even with a second degree, acquired almost a year ago!!
However, things are starting to turn around, I kinda feel it deep down. I just landed a job, a regular playing one, first time in a year, I’ve made some possible connections, some new friends, even female, reconnected with old friends and business colleagues which could lead to a great job, and made some contacts that could lead me into the music biz. I’ll be REALLY happy if I am successful in the music biz, my debt is all gone, and I find the love of my life. Not there yet, but I’m optimistic. And I’m going to London for the first time, for my brother’s wedding, and I’m his best man, so that’s cool.

powerpoplarry said on April 7, 2003 04:01:
Hey Chemist/Sarah, I can be accused of being too happy as well. I try to not let anything in life bother me, but with my life feeling somewhat incomplete deep down inside, it’s like my happiness is not true but a facade. I rarely let it show to people though, people think I am always happy, to a fault. I HOPE someday, I will feel complete. Probably meeting you in person will contribute to my deep down happiness. At least I hope so. :-P

wendy said on April 7, 2003 13:03:
Hey,Majdy,i guess i’m alright ;)
I just have to miss Santi for 2 days :(

People need to learn to be happy with their own selves and not constantly depending on someone else
LittleSpooky said on April 9, 2003 05:58:
Vax: In my case, it’s kinda hard to be happy when someone has taken your very heart and soul and ripped them thoroughly to shreds. People tell me that I’ll get over it and fall in love again. I don’t think so. It’s a fact of life that I have to slowly come to grips with.
purplemedusa said on April 9, 2003 06:22:
Littlespooky, the heart is an incredable thing... It hurts like hell in the beginning, but in time you forget the pain and start rebuild trust in love. May you be blessed with so much beauty around you that your journey into healing be speeded.
Warm hugs, PM
Majdy said on April 9, 2003 06:29:
hey, Spooky. I understand who you feel. because I have been thriugh that before. I think some of people was hard to forget someone that they really love. It happened to me too... it took years for me to fall in love again, I though I just couldn’t do that forever and I just din’t understand, why did other people was so easily forget they loved ones and soon fell in love to other one, while why it seemed that I won’t ever fall in love forever. But guess what, six years later, I DID fall in love again and I finally COULD forget about him and now I know that all the pain that I felt leads me to him and I’m so happy :) but again, I know excatly how u feel, spooky.
vaxjoe said on April 9, 2003 07:07:
LS: dear i understand perfectly how u feel...it happened to me twice...the 1st time it takes a long long time to heal...2nd time u get over it a bit faster...and then u promised yourself u wont allow that to happen again :o)
wendy said on April 9, 2003 18:27:
I’m happy with myself,i don’t depend on someone else,i just missed my Santi,that’s all,i bet you know how that feels :p
LittleSpooky said on April 10, 2003 02:44:
I didn’t trust others when it came to relationships. I’d seen enough broken ones first hand. Then I got involved because I thought he was different. Shows what I get for thinking. I’m guarding what’s left of my heart even more than before.
Roxrider_USA said on April 10, 2003 13:42:
