7/8

Been 7/8 all my life but sometimes for short periods shoots up to 9/10.

i essentially agree with this
short periods below 7/8 but the 9/10 periods by far outweight them

now I wish i had a little more money and i think thats why im not at 9 10 cause well there are some things I have to pay for that I havent been able to afford paying for yet.

Can't believe I'm gonna vote 3-4 on a 1-10 happiness scale, but I have to since it's based on the last month. My two cats are gone, of which one is certified dead. My favorite cat no less.
Lost a lot of money, have to deal with a fucking whore of a landlord trying to milk me for money as I'm moving out and all in all my life is just scattered atm. If you had made this poll a few months back and pretty much at ANY time other than now, I would have voted 7/8, that's how I always am. But the last month has just sucked hard. Bring on the good times.

I think Sr18 is on the right track, but he traded his argument in at the end of his post by succumbing to this rating thing. Also I'm surprised drone thinks happiness can be rated.

Rating something as intangible as feeling happy is impossible. Not only is there no real metric, it's unlikely any of us will ever know what being, according to your poll, truly '100%' happy is, or what being completely unhappy is.

Of course, everyone has periods of their life, that vary in length and frequency, where they know they've felt happy, and maybe these known periods of happiness can be used to contrast, or identify, periods of unhappiness. That is ridiculous, though, because, ultimately, happiness is a choice. Whether or not this choice is an easy one is not important, but you're the only person who has the power to make yourself happy. This whole happiness gradient thing assumes that happiness is a random gift of life, something that either happens or it doesn't, and you calculate the arrival of this blessing based on what you perceive as good things or bad things in your life. As if the events of the world around you push up or down a scale, and at the end of the day, your position on this scale is your happiness rating.

This is my opinion, anyway, and I think that, implicitly, the rest of you have chosen to be happy or unhappy. However, feel free to share your happiness equations with me if you think I'm wrong.

i know it's not a serious poll. i can't understand why or how anyone would want to rate their happiness, regardless

Why wouldn't peaple want? Too ashamed of saying that they're not happy with their life most of the time?

It has nothing to do with shame - if someone's unsatisfied with the way they've led their life, and they feel unhappy because of it, it's completely within their power to change their lifestyle, and change their happiness.
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.
