How to be happy
|
 Oh, I see.  (July 29, 2016 at 11:53 pm)Alasdair Ham Wrote: I still think happiness comes from a process not a result. You chase results and then after you get them the hedonic treadmill resets your happiness level. Processes are about enjoying the moment. I think true happiness is enjoying the moment. When the hours just fly by because you're having so much fun. Chasing dreams and whatnot is more like a process than a result, and I said I didn't believe in happiness altogether, not where it came from. 
Not believing in happiness makes as little sense as not believing in sadness to me. Happiness is a real emotion.

I don't think it's real. I think it's a myth people tell each other. You're probably confusing it with something else, I'm sure.
You've never experienced it? How sad.
It's as real as any other emotion.

Quote:Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Have you never experienced joy or contentment?
