Is happiness the man or woman that says all the rights things, the one who shows compassion when you are at your wits end, or the one who gives you material things but doesn't have real time for you.
I'm not looking for schoolgirl happiness anymore.
I would just like to be content with my life even with all the hard knocks and disappointments.
Ok, I buy into the whole mindset thing, but sometimes I think that' answer is a tad too glib. The physical must play a role, material comforts, future prospects, friends, animals/pets, the outer world etc. We cannot just live in a mental construct, a fantasy of our own willing.

Ok..the physical health plays a role but we cannot live wishing we were 20 or 30 again
Material comfort? I am materialistic.
As for friends and pets I have enough and I'm also happy in my own company.
Future prospects? I have achieved my dreams.
As for this world we live in..well...it is already a fantasy world in which we create our own reality.
OnlyLiveTwice: Hmmmm....interesting, the world is our own personal construct. Yes, in a way it is. Said another way, life is what you make it. Êtes-vous d'accord?
