"I often wonder this. Is anyone happy?? Or is everyone just plodding on waiting to be happy?" You have hit the nail on the head there, a very astute comment. I am happy some of the time and content a lot of the time. I think a lot of people fail to recognise the happiness that can be found in the moment because they are so busy waiting to be happy. | |||

"I know I am happy when I don't feel I need anything. If I realise I am happy I slide towards doing something self destructive to bring some balance to my life " That is really interesting - happiness is a state of just being without any particualr "sensation".... and the moment here are sensations.. it is a sign of some doom? | |||

" Not sure about impending doom, but happiness is easier to find by living in the moment. I often feel happier in the phases when I am meditating regularly | |||

"that you are happy and what do you do when you are? "I am probably happier at this time of my life than I have been for many many years. I actually sit back and chill. But I do notice that when I am truly happy from within, it is infectious and other people get caught up in my radiance | |||

"So if we know when we are happy, and what makes us happy... why dont we do more of it? cos there has to be darkness for us to truly appreciate the light " You are probably right - as much as I always dispute the existence of polarity ... I think you could be right - without knowing at some level what the opposite of happy is... we would not know the state of happiness! | |||

I am probably happier at this time of my life than I have been for many many years. I actually sit back and chill.

"So if we know when we are happy, and what makes us happy... why dont we do more of it? Because it's hard to believe we always deserve to be happy?" You know, I sometimes wonder whether we stop ourselves sometimes from experiencing real happiness because we feel we somehow dont "deserve" it. Maybe that is soemthing to do with self esteem or self-worth? | |||

And the problem with drink and chocolate binging is? (apart from indicating a lack of happiness/contentment)"The celebration of happiness through drink and chocolate leads to a temporarily increased euphoria which sadly reduces the levels of happiness the next morning when reaching for the pain killers or stepping on the scales | |||

" dont think there is one right answer as we all differ in health, upbringing, personal issues and many other factors.. little silly things do make one smile and appreciate that being able to enjoy them is a 'blessing'.. as View said.. sometimes we are so busy or after the perfect life, home, sex etc we miss the simple pleasures all around us.. | |||
