> As I see it, happiness doesn't just happen. A genie in a bottle doesn't grant happiness the same way the lotto might pay off.
i agree, infact i think the happiest people are those that have met extreme obstacles.
i think that's because their threshold for happiness is more realistic and relief parallels "happiness" for possibly a more intense feeling. all i know is that i take great pleasure in the little things in life, i don't wait for the big things like buying a house or weddings or baby showers.
somedays i get a little giggle out of watching my email icon bounce up and down on my OSX dock. some days i get a huge grin when i see a cloud that REALLY DOES look like a bunny rabbit. And mostly...hehe, i always laugh when some one says do do...(ex. and they do do that.) hehe they said dodo...hehehe, EVERYTIME! i'm sorry but when you hear a vice president or director of a department lecturing and say dodo that's pretty darn funny!
>>Happiness doesn't imply comfort.
-you got it Rod.
>>Recently an acquaintance friend of a friend accused me of being in denial or on drugs if I say my life has happiness most of the time, thereby my being happy.So what does it matter to him/her??? why would they want to encourage looking closer to find more negatives??
i say illusions can be wonderful things...so even if your "happiness" is an illusion, well so what? don't take away that little time i have of feeling what everyone else gets to feel.>>Negative-people beware! I'm happy and you can't do anything to stop me now!!!
-you tell 'em happy man.
