Do you think it's possible to be truly happy in today's world?

It is, but there's a lot that makes it hard. Comparison is the root of it. When we see other people with things we don't have, we assume their life is better than ours and we tend to focus on that. When you go on social media and see people posting the good parts of their lives... their success in career, their wealth, their love life, etc... although you're happy that they're happy, you can feel envious.

Think about it this way. If you live in a primitive village secluded from the world and never knew about any technology or luxuries people had, you wouldn't have anything to compare your life to. You'd just be focused on the simple things in life. The simpler you live your life, the happier you'll be.

And on another note, I feel like there are too many women who have a hatred towards men and their standards are too high. Either that or they're just afraid to fall in love and potentially be hurt emotionally. That prevents them from ever finding the companionship they desire, even if they've convinced themselves they don't desire it by pushing it deep down within themselves. But we all desire companionship. It's human nature.

Inheritance got me half a million my own effort another quarter so I'm gunning for that fuck you money before I'm 40. It's getting easier and easier everyday.

Can't say I'm happy but I'm way less sad.

I used to feel very happy until a few months ago. I don't know how to get it back. It was the kind of happy that wasn't about anything in particular, I just felt happy inside.

It might have started when I got my heart broken, and the government is going to go fast and free through all of our bank accounts. Stuff like that piles up, and before ya know it, that happy feeling is gone!

If you think of true happiness as resilience, deep connection, and a sense of meaning, it’s not only possible; it’s happening every day to millions of people. The fact that some people fail at it says more about them than anything to do with life itself.

[Miristheiss]

Content. Feelings are fickle and ALWAYS changing. No one is always happy. That sets people up for failure to have them believing endless happiness is going to happen. People can choose to be happy. Some people are upbeat and cheerful no matter how many struggles they face. Some are miseable no matter how many blessings they have.

There were hardships in every age, not just today. But yes, people can always find happiness, even if they are ill or poor. Happiness is a state of mind and it is possible to find it in simple things.

When you follow your gifts and talents and choose that vocation is where the happy is and your not a slave just existing in a dead end job that was not designed for you.

Only if you exile every man you know to a silent dimension where he can’t ruin your vibe with his mediocrity.

[katiesmuff]

Yes I certainly do! I think that many that I know are very happy with life and that would include me.

[exitseven]

The world is a tough place but it always was. It has always been possible to find happiness.

[LazerBean]

Of course. People have lived happy lives in far worse times than these.

[Kingofkings1992]

This is the worst it's ever been in our lifetimes.😕

[LazerBean]

Perhaps so, but I'm not going to let the lead poisoned boomers who went through the Vietnam trenches be happier than me lol

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It is, but that pursuit seems to be somewhat of a luxury around the world lol

[FreyaRed]

Yes, with a ton of neurochemical stimulation.

[strateguy632]

yes. that is why people turn to various religions.

[AviatorTom]

I'm happy... Guess that makes it possible...

[Dargil]

Sure. You have to decide what to avoid and what you are willing to trade off to do so.

[genericname85]

you can be happy in any world. happiness is a decision you make. not some passive thing you experience from the world around you.

[Shiprex]

Yes, it's a mind set you can adapt and try seeing the good in things more than the reality.

[MelaKnee]

Yes. You just really have to be independent enough to know what makes you unapologetically happy

[Xawyx-2]

Sure, if you win the lottery, it's possible ;)

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You can be content but true lasting happiness won't ever happen in this life because there's always going to be something that isn't right.

[Tomislav7]

[Still-alive]

Absolutely. Try to have it come from within, thats the best way to feel it in my opinion

[Godihateyou]

Absolutely. Its the best this world has been since Ronald Reagan was vice president

[HairF3tish]

Yes, but happiness come from the inside and from the ability to see beauty

[Kingofkings1992]

Happiness is a choice. Always was, always will be
