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

    The proof is empirical. Just increase the quantity as needed.

    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.

    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......

    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.

    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-happiness
