Have you found Happiness?

It slapped me upside the head some 20 years ago.I dont know,

its something that just fell into place.....

I´ve found happiness. first time I saw it, was over the corner of my left eye. I had to look very carefully... it was hiding behind all the simple things of a regular day. It was lit by a sunray coming through the window where I grew up with my family. From there, it show the path to the place where I found the love of my life and the activities that I enjoyed most. It cast a reflection on the eyes of my children and insinuates the future ahead of us.

Happiness is as vague a concept as truth or beauty.

Finding it is a mythical notion and the necessarily nebulous nature of "finding it" is a trap. It is one of the traps by which mankind are bound. These notions are designed to foment and perpetuate unrest and insecurity among the people. People in this condition are more easily governed and ordered. Free yourself from the trap of questing for the indefinable and ultimately unnattainable so-called happiness and then you may perhaps find that you actually have happiness and have had it all the time.

Yes i agree with green chic....i have found it in Christ alone....i feel filled by the holy spirit....but its hard to hold onto it...because my fleshly desires get in the way...that is why the bible commands us to die to the flesh and obey Gods will.....but that is where i am happiest.....is when i know i am doing everything in my power to please my creator.

(revised one day later)

Im sorry i wasent clear, fleshly desires are things that we ourselfs want but that God knows is not good for us. For example, guys LOVE breasts, sad, sick, but true. we LUST over breasts, its not good, lust is an example of our FLESH, its somthing that is wrong in Gods eyes. Not ever having sex is NOT what God intended. You can "die to your flesh) and be EXTREAMLY EXTREAMLY happy. give more details if that still isnt clear enough. im sorry again for not being clear.

I've found happiness. For the longest time I was very depressed, happiness was NOwhere to be found. Then, with the help of God, and some good friends, I was pulled out and now I'm happy with *almost* evrything, and things are okay for my family and me. Sure there's things that bring me down, everyone deals with issues (I'm jealous if you don't), but for the most part, I'm overwhelmed with how lucky I am compared to the rest of the world.

happiness is

1.only in the present moment - never "in the future"

( ie when I get more money/ a better job/ a nicer partner/ a new car/ etc.,

2.the great and wise Abraham Lincoln said " most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be "

3. but what about my job/ lousy friends/ age / youth / hair / teeth - ad nauseum ! Get Off You're Buts. your happiness is down to you and no one else, it's a question of the choices you make.

I'm happy, got a good job, but not complete happiness cuz I don't have many friends. I wasn't happy friday night though, sat at the house by myself, kinda sucked.

whats up, i haven't found happiness no were, and I'm very tired of looking is there anyone out here that are kind,out going? i would like to be happy and marry ed but i don't think so because i give up...

Yes without a doubt; I found it solely through Jesus Christ.(And no this was not a mindless Sunday-school answer.)

If you would like me to explain I'd be glad to.

Fly and let fly. Live like you REALLY want to. Happines is a state not a destination.
