Anyway this is going to be day one and the questions are not actually in order of how often they were asked (mostly because I didn't want to go through and count the number of checks next to them on my paper). So besides that let's get going with the first question which I never really expected to see so much.
Why is your definition of true happiness different than
everyone else’s?
I’m not sure what everyone’s definition is since everyone
has their own version. I personally measure my happiness based on other people’s
happiness. Of course that doesn’t mean I’ll be happy because a random lady
shopping in the same store is happy but I do like to see my friends be happy
which in turn makes me feel better. True happiness is not something I feel like
I can achieve in my own life at this moment. I’m not sure anyone can but I do
have my moments that I feel like some form of happiness. I guess my definition
is different in that I see the downside to everything so true happiness can’t
possibly be achieved when I’m seeing the downside. You can have all the money,
power, and love in the world (or even a “balanced” amount of each) and I can guarantee
that there will be an emptiness that takes away from truly being completely
happy (mostly because people always want more than what they have, even when
they have it all). So do I think people can be happy? Yes, I know its possible
but true happiness is still too far away from our insatiable natures.
What do you think of true happiness?
