Are happiness and sanity truely incompatible?

No they are very compatible

Happiness in my opinion is always better. However it is evident that sometimes the hard and long fought struggle and pursuit of happiness leads some people to lose their sanity. I believe the two can be compatible depending on the scenario.

I know I am most definitely carazy but, only I know this - lol! However, I am also truly happy.

Who determines what qualifies sanity. Now don't tell me psychologists or psychiatrists. Most of them are nuts from hearing all our drama!

I think one has to be a little of both just to get along in this world. What makes one happy does not rest on whether he is sane or not. It is simply accepting and loving self for who he is, loving, sharing and giving to all others unconditionally. This is the one component to true happiness and peace - Love! :D

Peace and Blessings

i think so. Depends if you consider stupidity and sanity to be compatible. Some people are not smart enough to see things clearly but are what most would consider sane.

Not indeed ,both are related to each other , happiness needs good sanity ,without stable mind there is place for happiness ...

Sanity means being kind and loving to others, and to yourself, including all the thoughts you have.

Happiness is the same thing.

You can find both, by learning about your mind, and practicing meditation with the help of a good spiritual teacher.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but there is understanding that can severely cripple happiness. Really, the solution to this dilemma is for the people in charge to understand and those that aren't to not.

Yes, in a Stepford Wives kinda way

Sanity is like Swiss cheese

You go around things that displease

If your reason has too much rigor

Your sanity is becomes mortus

And your brain pan is brought to its knees.

Happiness and sanity get on quite well

It is reason that blows the whole thing to hell.

Well nobody is actually sane, but you can be happy. :P I am right now

Are you implying that you have to be insane to be happy? I'm sane and happy. I don't get your point.
