If someone's unhappy because they feel life is unfair (it is), and the world is cruel to them (it is too), it's also completely within their power to change their happiness, but not necessarily via a lifestyle change. I don't mean to say it's silly to contemplate your happiness, but that it's silly to think "This month I'm two fifths happy, and by next month I want to be at the six eights level!" I know this thread is meant to be irreverent and for fun, so sorry if I'm bringing it down, but discussing happiness and life happiness are of great interest to me. But its not always possible to change things. Last month was a sad month for me, because my girlfriend broke up with me. There was nothing I could do to change it, and there's no special way I can look at things which would make me see that in a positive light. Obviously measuring happiness precisely is ridiculous, but its not hard for me to say "the last month I've been unhappy due to this break-up and severe financial troubles, but I'm not at a depressed stage because I have been coping better then I expected + my flat mates are great". So yeah...you can't always change your happiness, and you can say roughly how happy you've recently been. | ||

I guess that happiness from external stimuli just doesn't last long enough to get me to the next happy moment. Would like to be happy in the 'tween moments, when nothing entertaining's going on, but I don't seem to have that switch. "Be happy!" "Okay!" doesn't work for me. Meh... it's not interesting. | ||

It's been an exciting year for me, have learned a lot of things, improved a lot, become a better person. Still a lot of things to accomplish but pretty much my ambition is fueled to the extreme and that keeps me going allday everyday. | ||

Most of the time im really cheered up, just because im always energetic and friendly. My friends are really cool and we gather to play gears of war and the go to drink some beers. My only "down" is that my gf broke with me but meh, she was probably out of her mind , and she's losing this fine piece haha. i have a good job( i work at game rush, a videogame store yay ), im doing fine in college. Pretty much. | ||

ctstalker i think it's perfectly fine to 'rate' happiness despite the lack of a concrete measure. recess is the 10 for an elementary school kid, and driving across the nation with only a giant green arrow pointing left on a map is mine. there are moments when the sun's just right and something about the wind brushes everything in surprising clarity and you just know that you've found something good. we are brought up with the objective to find 'happiness' in our lives, but even cute stupid forest creatures are down sometimes, even my yippityyappity dog sulks when nothing's wrong. it's overly idealistic to expect that it's all just a matter of choice. you factor in human civilization to our base animal instincts and it complicates everything a thousandfold. what's wrong with drifting and letting the big world push you around a bit? the proactive spirit that insists on changing everything to his liking is a genius, not the common human. the poll's fun too, we all mostly know each other and we're in the same community =) you canadians are crazy | ||
