Don't let stress consume you. If you experience stress in your job you should find another one, even if you get less money. Life is just a ride buddy, don't let it consume you. Don't worry and be happy  On September 10 2012 11:14 Magic_Mike wrote: This is why I'm glad I'm not smart. All the smart people I know are depressed. You think to much. For me it's pretty simple. A blowjob, a beer, and a good Lions football game. Well if they are depressed because of such things, it might be because they aren't that smart (no offense to anyone). I feel like im a smart man, not a genius by any sort but I see life in a positive way, whatever happen to me. I seriously had a bunch of serious bad lucks the past years and I could very well be angry because life isn't really fair towards me nowadays, but so what? Life is pretty much unfair to the most of us anyway, but whats the point in being sad, mad, angry, etc? It's just a bunch of low vibrations (emotions) that holds you from experiencing happiness. As I said earlier, life is just a ride and whatever happen I enjoy it, I take lessons from it and I look forward what's coming tomorrow. | ||

No offense but when do smart people actually refer to emotions as "low vibration"? Come on. | ||

That's not what I meant, English's my second language too. I thought it was some kind of voodoo, eastern medicine kind of shit. | ||

I'm dumb and didn't notice a grammatical error or a wrongly used term and get angry over it. Yay for being dumb and not understanding enough to get mad.  | ||

I like having something to look forward to. But then around Sunday I feel like I should be doing more, but I can't motivate myself to study when it's the weekends. | ||

On the subway ride to work I think of league. When I'm about to go to bed I think of league. I'm doing math in my head all the time about league. I like having something to look forward to. But then around Sunday I feel like I should be doing more, but I can't motivate myself to study when it's the weekends. Goes to show that what feels like happiness to one can seem like the saddest thing ever to another D: | ||

It isn't something you look foward to, it's something you experience during each moment of your existence. We could argue that you are in a state of happiness when you play league, because you enjoy it, you don't look foward anything since you are concentrated doing something you like to. I don't know if I make any sense to the rest of you.. | ||

I do get really nice lunch breaks though that I can take at my local park. These are the brightest parts of my weekdays. I should spend more time with my little brother when he's playing his games, but I often just go on TL or Reddit. I'm not sure if I find those more enjoyable or if it's just habit. I get what you mean though. Happiness is in the moment. | ||

Pleasure is momentarily...fleeting.Happiness is a state of mind and once you grasp it, it's yours forever. I totally agree with that post. Pleasure such as gaming, watching a football game, etc, are only distractions. You enjoy it, but it's not happiness, like he said, you have to look within. | ||

what im trying to say is, try find someone, parents, spouse, friends, that can help you out and when you are with them, appreciate them for being there the time you were down, find something you really love. if you dont like your job, maybe find something you enjoy in~! i know its different for everyone but in your case, maybe try finding a friend who can help you out with sc2, and hang out with in real life and will stick by you think and thin | ||

I consider myself a very intelligent person, and i think deeply about alot of stuff. My tought on true happiness is this. Happiness comes from acceptance of other people. When you fall in love with someone, you are looking for that other person to accept you and love you back. When you try to be the best at something competitive, you want other people to acknoweldge you and look up to you ( acceptance again ). So, to be trully happy, you need to be who you look up to. That is no easy task. If you like that guy that picks up chicks alot and u say, " omg, that guy is the real shit ", evolve ur picking up skills. If you want to be a starcraft 2 pro put the effort to it. If you win for example, lets say.. GSL. U will feel true happiness because one of your goals for people to acknoweldge you has been fufilled. Happiness at my eyes, is all being accepted by others. That goes to other subject. People have no personality, you are who you want to be. You can be anyone you look up to. We are that flexible. I know i was not a popular guy among girls. I used to look up to those guys that picked up every fucking hot girl. Then i putted enough effort, and guess what. Now im that guy. I feel acomplished and happy, haven't found a girl i like tho :\ So i can obtain even more happiness when i do. English is not my main english so im sorry for any bad grammar. | ||

nontheless she is living live to the fullest, she goes out when she can and her illness allows her to (not very often for the last years, she now even needs oxygen and cant walk to the bus station anymore). she has even finished university despite being constantly treated and having to inhale every day for hours, and is working in a lab now researching about cystic fibrosis herself. so.. most of the people are happy but dont get it, because they are too arrogant and self-centered to be able to see the whole picture. there are people dying on this planet, in every fucking second. dying from hunger, from violence, from disease. everyone that lives in a country with a good social care system and has no life-threatening problems should consider himself "happy". if he is not, then thats plain degenerated. and crying over "not being happy" makes me wanna punch that faces.. ps: dont feel threatened by that sentence, my rage comes from me not being able to help her. i know this feeling for a long time now and i got used to people complaining about not being happy when in fact they could be. i would be the same if i had not made this experience, so i cant blame you or anyone else. perhaps life will show you what true sadness is one day and after this you will be happier and thankful for your life in your "normal" time. | ||
