JadenxAtemYAOI Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='Lance Corporal Atlas' timestamp='1295277839' post='4940650'] Too happy? There isn't such a thing as too happy. Don't be a dick to people having a good time just because misery enjoys company. Happiness is the emotion we should all strive to obtain and maintain. If you're living without happiness then your life is not worth sustaining. It isn't happiness that blocks people from the truth, but bliss. Bliss often comes along with happiness, but the two aren't eternally linked. To say the most critical emotion for a person to have is a hinderance is stupid. [/quote] ex. of too happy: lone butcher has a fun happy time cutting beef and pork. The part that was best and made the butcher most happy was chopping the meat but one day the butcher got bored and decided to chop up people instead which made him much happier.... ....

J-Max Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow.... Everyone must love you TC. It's always great to spread happiness when needed. I often always try to reassure people that things will be fine, it helps them to relax and even cheer up. Hugs are always a great way to help people cheer up as well. The world would be so cold without happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life needs a mix between good or bad. Dark cannot exist without light, and light cannot exist without dark and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='War Chess' timestamp='1295277580' post='4940641'] [center]Great topic. Happiness is relative. Everybody is happy when they're doing what they like and are comfortable with themselves. I don't like hapiness, I hate people talking and laughing and cheering, its all fake ! The world is made of despair and darkness. Happiness is a lie, an illusion, a distraction. It blocks people, so they don't see the truth.[/center] [/quote] This is absolutely untrue. Happiness isn't an illusion, it's gratitude and/or a desire being satisfied. It's not happiness that blocks people from seeing the truth, it's rejection of truth. People hate the truth and couldn't be happy if it was always there, watching their backs. But in some cases, that isn't how people feel. People can be happy with the truth. Seeing a family member that's been lost for years return wouldn't have a secret, negative spirit. Likely, you're just trying to be more cynical than you actually are.

Clair Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 The sole drive behind everything we do is to achieve eventual happiness, I think. I don't see what's wrong with people/media trying to speed things along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Happiness is not a lie or an illusion. It is a geniune feeling. The same can be said with sadness. If you think life's too cheery, then boo-hoo for you. Happy people live longer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehmani Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 OP is an attention whorin' emo, and anyone is this thread moaning about "humanity's dark existence" is retarded.
