What Makes You Happy?

What makes you happy other than pleasure, honor, or material possesions? Can you think of anything? Does happiness really exist?

 

hearing the rain while going to sleep
and also, waking up on a school morning, then realising i can sleep for another hour

 

I hate waking up on a school morning. I have not been letting myself get enough sleep too often. Last night I got like 12 hours, but tonight its going to be like 4.

 

Yeh rain on a roof is good. Well i like just being with people that i love. Or when you are somewhere really beautiful. Or when someone says something really good about me. Or meeting someone with very similar interests to me.
I also like waking up when its raining in the morning. And music, but thats kinda a material possession.
Also creating, like drawing something kickass.
As for your philosophical question, yes i think happiness exists, if in the right conditions, and if you think it doesnt, you need a change.

 

many things/conditions make me happy...i couldn't possibly name them all

 

what makes me happy? learning, helping others, having a comfortable life (I guess that ties in with material things... but mostly just having a good shelter, food, not struggling to just survive), sleeping in, being in love

yes, of course I think happiness exists. But I think you need to have gone through at least some suffering to recognize happiness, to have been through the darkness to truly see the light (ah, so cheesy sounding)

 

i like the smell of summer and music. they both make me a happy camper

 

i'm not sure if real happiness exist... like being really happy all the time or for a long time... not just satisfied, or in a good mood, but HAPPY. you can have lots of happy moments and sometimes you can't even be aware of your happines, you can't recognize it. only when it passes you can look back and say: oh, how happy i was.

i guess loving makes me happy... and creating. also some little things like flowers, sunny morning, spring, sunrise, nature...

 

it does exists

 

I like outdoors at summer time and whatever in the world is the exact oppisite of school

I know it sounds cliche' but I hate school it sucks the life out of me

 

haha have to completely agree with both of those!!

oh and to be fair i am not that fond of material stuff, other than clothes and music

 

hippyz

 

shit dude
lots of things make me happy
lots of things would make you happy too if you didn't focus on thoughts like "does happiness really exist?"

 

I`m really happy when i`m good with people and they r good with me!
i`m happy when i know somebody loves me,when i love somebody,when i listen music and when i`m in the mountains,i`m happy when i make people laugh...things like that!

 

the way i see it
and it probably doesn't make sense to anyone else
but i like to consider myself as always being happy
whether currently i'm happy or not
because i've learned to be happy with everything
(i've kinda had to)
your happiness one day isn't just going to completely vanish
you're going to get happy about something
i like to focus on that rather than "well something's just gonna disrupt that"
ya know?
i dunno, like i said
i make no sense

 

time an space fall away when U Iz hip 2 DUH TRIP.

 

Friendships - love - peace - nature - relating with others - all makes me happy!

I think that the only happiness that exists is satisfaction. What is happiness? It is when you are cotent with something. When are you conent with something? Your content when your satisfied. Happiness is worthless and unimportant. Theres no such thing as real happiness, only satisfaction and good feelings.
