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.

Rocky Raccoon said that happiness is a warm gun....laugh

But more seriously....happiness is like Einstein's theory of relativity. You get it for about a split second,
but then it's gone again.

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 dunno

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.

Einverstanden? Alles klar? wink

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?
