what makes and keeps you happy in life.

Truely think about this one before answering.

My beautiful wife.....and my even more beautiful daughter, Riley...it uses to be all monetarily based......but not after having the two most awseome girls in the world in my life.........:)

Good health, mental and physical.

I don't think my health keeps me to happy. I can't wake up and feel great about life just cause I know I have good health. I guess when you lose that it would be the most important thing ever. So I guess I could see how some are happy with that.

If I had my own family I would cherish that most of all also....I could see how that is what makes you happy in life.

Yep doesn't matter how shitty my day is......hearing my little girl say daddy is all it takes to turn things around........
 
Well most people take things for granted...the more satisfaction you pull from the simple things in life, the happier you will be. I used to be depressed for quite some time but then I learned I was expecting too much of people and life. So I just stopped caring. I follow the Four Noble Truths :).

I'm in the same boat. I expect to much and when those things fall short I get down on life.

Give me these truths...maybe it would make my life simplier and happier.
 
What makes me truly happy in life? Honestly, it's not just any one thing. The top of the list would include my health, my wife, my very nice job, my decent financial situation; I don't really have too much to complain about other than small things. There is lots of things I would like to change, but the trick is to not let the negatives get to you and just enjoy whatever moments you can.

I guess if I had to state one and only one thing that makes me happy in life, it would be my attitude towards life itself. Some people will never be happy because they have unrealistic goals and dreams of life.
 
Too many things in my life make me happy... My BF, my little sisters, my family, studying something I like, realizing that I'm in control of my life, the sun, the good red wine...
 
When someone I care about cares about me. Especially the first time you find out they care - you aren't quite sure where you stand, and then you find out they care.

Cumming

Knowing my family is well and hearing them laugh
 
First noble truth: The existance of impermanence
Nothing lasts forever...so don't get too attached to life. Happiness and suffering are not permanent.

Second: Suffering arises from craving, simple enough

Third: The cessation of suffering comes from the cessation of desire/craving

Fourth: The cessation of craving is aided by eightfold path (basically the Buddhist equivalent to the Christian 10 commandments, except a very very laid back version) (This is where the concept of karma comes from)

This is pretty much Buddhism lol. It's a logical 'philosophy (I don't consider it a religion)'. I'm not an expert in this though.

realizing that I'm in control of my life

That would make me extremely happy. Unfortanitly I lost control of many aspects of my life due to irrisponsibily and have been suffering and worrying about the consequences.

You are always in control of your life but some, like myself haven't decided to take control just yet.
 
shut the fuck up

happiness is just a temporary abcense of sadness

vary rare that i'm happy, and nothing can keep me their...so far anyways.

and why is this? Are you like me, that you are never satisfied.

I could be hanging out with friends and they would all be having a great time and I would just wanna leave and do somethign else. I can rarely stay in one place for to long.

Things I use to consider fun times, I look back now and they sucked also.

It truely is the worst thing to be a miserable person, and it's hardto change it.
 
Using my own ability to make something better, different, or improved.

I could say just the opposite.

WRONG! I will not write essays on this topic, but our whole lives involve sadness in one form or another. Sadness is the base piont, the core of our lives. The variation of the level of sadness is why motivates our feelings. The people who hate to see other people sad, the people who are constantly optimists, the people who are constantly smiling------ those people are the one thats ignorant.

But guess what, Ignorance is blissful, it gives one a stability without reprocussions of giving a subject more thought. Why do you think people with depression sometimes get even more depressed when put on anti-depressent medication - the reason for this is that medication further opens up the analytical pathways to analyze the situations, and guess what... the outcome of most of these situations is NOT pleasent.

Pain, both mental and physical follows us throughout our lives. We relieve this pain with drugs, alcohol, sex, caring for our siblings and sleep <------ oops are those the many ways of coping with depression? Yap I got that right.

doesn't that suck if that is truely the case for most men.

It just might be true, but life would be so much better if we could find happiness within ourselves and not in between a women's legs.

i'm just fuckin around man, i would have to say seriously what makes me happy is making someone else happy. pussy is great too though you gotta admit?

pretty much man. I was making $20hr, I had girl friends, had a nice car, had money to go out to eat 10 times a day and buy shit I didn't need(I never did) all my friends were really happy people all the time, they were happy watching tv to bowling or driving around etc. but like you said, it takes a lot to entertain me. now that i moved away from all my friends it really sucks. all I do is study and work. feel like i'm going crazy.....maybe this is why I used to smoke weed 3 or 4 times a week:D

I keep telling myself things will be better once I'm done with school and get on with my life. but will it?

You forgot to mention one thing

Most of the people who replied that they are happy on this thread......

Are on anti-depressents.... enough said... lets be realists here.

Shit I didn't disagree with you on the pussy comment. In reality for most of us it is truely the case, sad but true.

I'm totally right in the same place. I often tell people I can't wait till I'm finished with school and can just get a job and get on with everything, house, family ect...

But everyone I tell this to that is "on with their lives" tells me that enjoy being in college as much as you can, cause it gets worse.

Hopefully they are wrong and I enjoy the "real life" better than the college life of booze, studying and trying to chase skirt.

did i miss something here? college is supposed to be the best time of your life man, thats the only time when you shouldn't worry about getting on to better things
 
I'm not on anti depressants :P

Revex, Ignorance may be bliss in most cases but not all..some people are genuinely happy, drug free. Plus, your inference comes from the examination of Western culture...I do admit people in our culture are more prone to depression due to the way it was designed but our civilization doesn't represent the rest of the world.
 
what makes and keeps me happy in life is the hope that I will find something in life that will make and keep me happy..
 
I`m happiest when I hang out with friends and family and everyone leaves with a genuinely good feeling of having had a good time and conversation. You can see it in their eyes, in their smile, as they tell you they enjoyed the evening talking and being together.

There`s nothing like having a glass of wine or a beer with loved ones in your backyard having a BBQ or something, talking and laughing, knowing everyone is genuinely enjoying themselves.

at the risk of sounding redundant......and because I just put her to bed.....and she hugged me and told me she loved me.......my little girl is my anti-depressant........she gives a better high than any drug I have ever sampled.......today has been a good dad day.....so sorry if I am cheesing out........:)
 
exactly bro. I get the same lines from people. the reality of it is that life sucks. it's always the next thing that will me you happy, my father told me that not 2 months ago. he screwed up his marriage of 25 years. mostly because he went back to school because he though it would make him happier and complete with himself and life. He said he was always after the next thing to make him happy. :worried: oh well

You're a good man bro. You probably had your fun earlier in life, and now settled for a more stable life. I know what you mean, part of my research for my psychology degree involved working with a psychiatrist who would advice families.

Many of these parents lived a tottally different life with their children, their kids were basically their focus, they were the reason to live!

Now you compare the lives of the pairs who could not have children (either because of choice and because of inability)./...... and their lives are empty....... without any sparks.....

My uncle and my aunt never had any children, so I can really consider its a personal issue. I can see how empty their lives are.

Children are one of the things that bring us out of our sadness

I hope this isn’t a generalized statement Rev, because if it is then it’s a horrible outlook you have there. Not everyone gets married for the sole purpose of having children, some people get married just to be together because it makes them happy. My wife and I are never going to have children because we don’t want to, it was a choice we made together when we decided that we don’t need children in our lives. I hope you don’t think our life is empty because that would be very far from the truth. Children are not like an “instant happiness” pill.

And the whole happiness is just the absence of sadness deal, well I don’t agree with that either. There is no “default” state of mind, it is just how you feel at any one time. And it doesn’t have to be one or the other either, contentment falls squarely in between.

And one of my uncle’s and aunt’s also never had children. They are in their late fifties now, and I honestly don’t know a happier couple. Your logic is flawed…
 
........

attention from women... and not just pussy but actually being noticed by women ... being touched, having them come up to you .. complete strangers and putting their hands on your chest.

That makes me happy.

Doesnt make my girlfriend real happy... but to me its like a god damn drug.

Women make my world go around.
 
THe people I care about. Not so long ago, I thought that I would be much better off holed up inside with a nice sturdy wall between me and anyone trying to get in. That wall has kinda been chipped away slowly. I won't say that it's gone, but it's not quite so sturdy anymore. So being able to spend time with the people I care about is definitely something that makes me happy.

You are right. I am on antidepressants and feel like I need them to maintain. When I look at my life it is just stupid that I would need antidepressants. I have a great husband who loves me, a beautiful baby. A supportive, but disfunctional extened family great friends More than enough money, a cushy job, a nice home. Why is all this not enough to make me happy? I guess because I have a neurotic thing that makes me worry that I have a dreaded disease. If I'm not worried about that I worry about the health of my family and friends. If not that then the state of the world and where iits headed, that s enough to make anyone depressed.
 
God makes and keeps me happy! He's the one giving me the things that bring me joy in life and lets me enjoy them each day! My family most of all and ofcorse my boyfriend and friends!
 
...

God makes me happy to... especially when he kills kittens after I masturbate... or was it puppies. Oh well I guess it doesnt matter.

Jesus makes me happy too, that battle versus Santa Claus when he guest starred on South Park was awesome.

Jesus is now my hero. He is poorly drawn but everyone has their faults.
 
"especially when he kills kittens after I masturbate" so wrong but im laughing

like gonelifting said (i think) its all about sitting around with your friends having a bbq and just being happy. its almost summer agian out here and im already getting my bbq skills cranking.

but my brothers, my parents, the gym, takign photos, hardcore music + almost every other type, the ocean, everything that keeps me stoked on life.
 
Evolution says otherwise. However do whatever makes you happy, in whatever restrictive and ignorant environment you might build for yourself. I will not argue with you, because after all we are all presenting opinions here.

Antidepressants? You tried "them"? Do you know how many different kinds are out there? Did you try them all?

People need to do a little research on their chemicals and know their options before they take whatever the doc writes out for them on the scrip pad.
