Happiness is a Myth
Being Happy is a myth...Its an illusion to what we all are trying to attain. In everything we do in our daily lives its this deluded concept that what we are doing can somehow make us happy. We go to our jobs to slave away and earn a few dollars to buy stuff. We bite into a warm chocolate chip cookie for 5 seconds of bliss. A cigarette, a drink, a relationship, SEX. None of it is happiness its this false short lived instant... a brief moment. Its all a lie

Happiness is not a myth. It's a choice.
If you are a miserable douche, it's usually because you wann to be.
Which will lead to choices that will make your life miserable.0 -

What a sad statement on life. Happiness is only a myth to people who think of it as a destination to be reached. It is a state of mind for those who appreciate where they are at the moment. Beer can't take you there......0

http://www.amazon.com/Stumbling-Happiness-Daniel-Gilbert/dp/1400077427 I really like this book. It's about our perception of happiness. Really great read, even if it's mostly psychology and doesn't teach you at all how to be happy.0

I was just talking to my husband about this over dinner the other night. I had heard a story on NPR about attaining happiness. The Pursuit Of Happiness. I thought it was very interesting, and made me feel better about not being in a state of happiness. http://www.npr.org/2012/05/02/151881205/the-pursuit-of-happiness0

Teach you how to be happy. LOL see this is a perfect example. Happiness isnt a choice something you have done is making you happy and sooner or later that will dissolve. Sure you can keep doing those little things over and over again but our life becomes this endless pusuit of happiness0 -
Lots of little things can make you happy if you let them.

oh and please dont call me a miserable cow because I don't think like you.0

Congrats OP, this is called depressive realism! The secret is to find meaningless, bullsh!t ways to pretend otherwise, and to block the truth from your mind, (eating cookies, not eating cookies, sex, drugs, religion, video games, football.) There's no reason not to eat the cookie, unless you find that you will get more enjoyment from something else (later) if you don't eat the cookie (now.)
Also, when this stops being fun, or rather, when the pain outweighs the pleasures to be had, it's okay to just quit.0 -
I have Happiness and Joy in the Lord. Without him, nothing would fulfill me. The joy he gives me, bleeds into other parts of my life. Perhaps you are seeking happiness from the wrong things?!0

What a crock! My doctor gives me lots of pills to make me Happy. Sure, I have to deal with a little anal leakage, but it's totally worth it.

Finding joy and happiness within yourself, and not relying on external things to bring you joy, is the key to happiness which isn't fleeting.
And it makes those fleeting moments that much more satisfying.
Everyone has a baseline of happiness. If yours pretty much says life is a turd, then it will be so. On the other hand, if it's all gummy bears and unicorns, then yay.0
