Answer 1

although many people say that they want to be happy, ive always had this theory that they actually prefer to be unhappy and unsatisfied, in other words they want to look unhappy. We see so many depressing and heinous things in this world, and, from personal experience,i think we refuse to accept that we are lucky one because it just makes us seem like the kind of people whom people are envious. I dont know if i am making sense here, be it never feels good to be the bad guy. We were born in an unfair world and it would seem uncomfortable to know that we are the ones whom are better off. I  think this is in human nature. sorry if i offend anyone

Answer 2

good morning brother

great question

it is true no man can be happy completely in his or her life,till there is human life,there will be always misery and pain and happiness also

aacording to carvaka school of indian philosophym which is atheist belive that we had to maximize the pleasure and should minimize the pain

but i belive that misery and pain is also necessary in this world because of the following reasons

1 if there will be no foolish humans in this world what will be the value of the intelligent,there will be no differnece,so foolish humans had also importance.

2 if there will be no ugly things in this world what will the importnace of beauty,there will be no difference

3 in the same way if there will be no misery and pain in life what will be significance of happines will left,so misery and pain is also necessary

according to upnishads two type of persons alwas remain happy

1 brahma gayani( the person who had supreme knowledge like krisha and buddha.

2 mahamurkha( greatest foolish) because of his ignorance

we are neither brahmagayani nor mahamurkh so we remain both happy and also get misery

indian philosophy is pessimistic meanss it bega with intial pessism and see this world as place of misery but its end is optisam,it give solution to problems of human life and how we can live our life to the best.

this question also strike buddha mind when he also see misery at all the places,than he give solution to all the problems.

we cant live happy because of the following reasons

1 desires,they have no end we had to satisy at certain stage

2 attachment is biggest cause of pain,so dont get attach with anything in excess

3 physical and mental diseases,we should perform yoga to remove all the diseases.

4 ego it is also cause of many unhappiness,so we should crush our ego not self respect.

5 too much honesty,the person who are too much honest also live unhappy,so we should be clever in life also

moeny cannot buy happiness when we see world richest person they always remain in tension and misery so happiness is subjective a poor person without wealth can also live happy.

Answer 3

Dee read my mind. I think happiness is in your head. One needs to learn to be happy with what they have and embrace true gratitude in life for all of the good things. When you have real gratitude in your heart you will feel an abundance of happiness.

Answer 5

Everyone wants to be happy, everyone knows this. Even the people who say they don't care, who want to act tough, they too want to be happy. The world has many ideas they are ready to say will bring happiness. They are quick to say that a person isn't happy unless they make a certain amout money, or have many friends, or look good physically, or have the right material gain. You can't think that "If I was dating or married to that person, everything would be better."

This is a trick, and you see it every time you turn on the TV or stand in a checkout line. "If you buy this or look like this you will be happy." All these things can make you happy for a time but will not last. After a while you will be bored with it, it will no longer make you feel the same way and you will be on the search again. Some examples of this are drugs and alcohol.

True happiness cannot be found in material things or in people because everything on earth dies, decays, rotts, and spoils...even relationships. Do you see anything that connects all these together? What is the one thing that makes people depressed and anxious?...self.

With all these things, all of those people are thinking about themselves. Not to say they are selfish people or that they are arrogant or don't care about others. Not at all. They don't realize that they are doing this. Maybe their parents taught it to them, maybe they got caught up in the hype of the world's false promises. But when you are depressed you started thinking about what you didn't have, what they had but you could never get, what you used to have but lost or was taken from you, what someone else did or said to hurt you. It progressed from there. When you get into yourself, it can be a deep empty pit, a dark hole. I say this because that's what anything is when it's not fulfilled.

True happiness comes when you are NOT thinking about you and ALL the things that are wrong with your life or your body, etc. When you do things for others you are not focussing on you and your problems. But do not be a people pleaser, that's just grabbing at the wind, you will never be able to make everyone happy.

Helping others, giving of your time to help someone, listen to someone air out how they're feeling (relieving their stress), making someone laugh, encouraging someone who is down...these things are all ingredients for lasting happiness.

Pay attention, people who are depressed or sad are thinking about themselves. Giving is the best expression of love. Giving what is needed and what you have to give; time with spouse and children-family, eye contact when someone is speaking, a smile to someone who looks like they haven't seen one in a while. Giving isn't always money.

What ever your situation, there is almost always someone who is in a worse situation, has gone through something worse, or is facing something worse. Be open to see the beauty that is around you and look for opportunities to make someone else happy. I'm living proof that this works.

Proverbs 3:27

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

Answer 6

Happiness is a state of mind. If you decide you are happy the way you are, then no one will make you think otherwise. People are happy when poor, but sad when rich. Some are happy alone; others are sad together. Some are happy getting an education, but others are happy being ignorant. Happiness is like a butterfly; if you try to catch it, it will fly away; But if you stand still, it will slowly approach you.
