Are you happy?
 

I'm at a great place in life right now. Things are going phenomenally well. And, it has nothing, nothing to do with money or stuff.


Are you happy?

I could probably piss myself in the middle of class and not be embarrassed. I don't really feel negative emotions besides the urge to destroy my computer when it constantly fucks up. I would, perhaps, be happier in a world where assholes didn't infect computers with spyware and adware. But sure, I'm somewhat happy.

Get a Mac.




:hump: :thumbup:

Eh, im doing alright, things arent bad and they arent great, just enjoyin life for now or trying to anyway

I was talking about this with my ex last night. I broke up with him because I didn't know what made me happy and I didn't know what I wanted. And I wasn't about to be in a relationship just for shits and giggles. And thats what I did. I was in a relationship for shits and giggles, just to be able to be like hey look someone loves me, which is useless, I guess because in a way, I was depending on him for happiness, but not genuine, happiness, sugarcoated superficial happiness. And depending on someone to make you happy, is not good, because if you lose that person, do you lose happiness.. or? But generally speaking. I guess I just went through a lot of bullshit in my childhood so it's like, I'm not happy, but I'm not upset either. Negative things that would usually shake a person and tamper with their mental don't even have me thinking about it after the fact. And I guess that's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing in a way, because positive things don't really affect me either anymore. So I'm kind of at a.. neutral, as far as emotions go. It doesn't mean I'm a grump all the time or anything, it just means that I'm not easily moved and I'm not necessarly genuinely happy.

That's called stoicism. It is sexy.

Yes, the kid is quite stoical indeed.

El Rey...the moment you start saying, "My life is what I make it," your life will be whatever you inwardly desire it to be.



And yes, my name says "TonySelfsBitch"...


don't ask.



lol

let me put it like this... b4 i came on here i wuz just in my bedroom wif an unloaded gun, listening to mo bounce to tha ounce and fantasizing that i wuz shooting people to tha beat by aiming it and imagining there wuz ppl there then pulling tha trigga. n i wuz tellin my brutha that it would b so dope to do a skool shooting, lol. then i kept putting it to my head and pullin tha trigga thinkin of which place would hurt less to shoot yoself.

im happy az fuck :rolleyes: werd

Well, it's all up to you bro. The moment you decide to be happy, you will. Leaving your happiness up to external factors is a recipe for constant disappointment.

nope...........

Well, for the people who aren't happy, why do you choose to be so? Excuse me, I mean, why are you not happy?

...... Awww poor kid:(

too much.

but being legally blind iz a big part of it, it's like a chain reaction. cant git my license, so i cant git a good job cuz i have no way of gittin there except my raggedy ass bike, which means i do alot of illeagle shit to make money, which means my gf iz bitchin at me fo not havin a job and sayin that its irisponsible, which means she threatens to leave me n shit, cuz she duzznt wanna have to struggle... pfft, gold diggin ass hoe.

and tha eyes shit iz tha reason i failed grade 10, cuz i didnt git tha help i needed, which means im still in skool and sapposed to b graduated by now, which means my gf graduated last year and said she wouldnt have moved if i wuzznt still in skool, and then when she moved she cheated on me, which i think about everyday, and it makes me wanna kill everybody.

and im bored alot and have nothing to do, which means i have nothing to distract me from thinkin about everythang.

but thats all just a small part of it.

so i just write alot of shit about killin people n shit, lol, werd

Kolby...Im not being rude, but, don't you think there are people who are COMPLETELY blind who haven't allowed that to stop them?

true, they prolly had alot of help tho, lol. werd

It's not really a choice.
I mean I want to be happy (who honestly doesn't?) , don't get me wrong, I do. It's just a matter of finding something that makes me happy and keeps me happy. And so far the latter of the two hasn't been happening.

I dont persue happyness, I simply take shit as it comes, nothing gets me depressed, but nothing gets me perfectly happy. I have alot of work to do before I can say Im happy.

for me to be like "im happy", would be shitting on my entire mission.

Ahhh...but it is a choice. The fact is, if you define your Happiness by external factors...that is, If you believe you'll NEVER be happy unless:

1. u have a certain income
2. people stop getting on ur nerves
3. u have this or that

You'll NEVER truly be happy. Those things may never come! So, are you gonna be unhappy for the rest of ur life? True happiness comes from within, and all the external aspects (wealth/possessions) are an extension of that internally joy.

It is absolutely a choice. You can CHOOSE to be happy, despite what goes on around you, despite your circumstances. If you view situations as negative rather than opportunities, you block off the chance to use them to better yourself or bless others.

Thats exactly it though.
I do not know what makes me happy.
So I can't determine it by people stopping something, or having a higher income.

Lemme tell u from experience and wisdom here...NOTHING will truly make you happy unless you're already happy inside.

Things only provide short lived gratification...When you are truly happy inside, things only serve to FURTHER your knowledge that you don't need them to be happy, but appreciate what you have in your ABUNDANT life.

How do you achieve happiness inside? The answer is simple. Executing it requires time and effort.

Happiness begins when you accept not only yourself, but your past and your circumstances JUST AS THEY ARE. Then, you can see them as opportunities to learn, grow, be blessed, and/or bless other people.

Happiness also comes from loving yourself, and then allowing that self love to filter down to how you treat other people. Joy ensues. It has NOTHING, NOTHING to do with a "man"...New clothes...a car...a job...or anything else.

Lots of people have those things but aren't happy.

-shrug-
I'm fine with being stoical
I sleep better

But are u sleeping happy?


hmm

Doesn't matter
At least I'm sleeping

^^ehh...


Self love! Self love!

well of course she iz, no woman iz unhappy while sleeping wif me :cool:

(i think ur perfectly aware of that tho, Q ;))

:cool: werd

you're so stupid.

Yeah i'd say Im pretty happy. But at the same time i'm pretty bummed out. Im really far behind in school because I skipped 9th Grade(as in i never went to class) I was always running around with the street kids or whatever not caring. Then reality hit me and i was like oh crap i relaly need to work on my school work and by then it was pretty much to late..and now im caught up on the fact if i'll graduate or not. I guess I can only hope I can. but i also have to remember Proverbs 16:3. I cant go off my own strength or i'll never make it anywhere.....so right now i'd say im in between......i just want to get out and live on my own and have the freedom of driving/talking/being/doing anything anywhere I want...and I already have a Job lined up for me I just need to get a G.E.D and go to college for one semester for Drafting

im only happy when im not.....

Q, you do realize the stuff you're preaching in here basically IS Buddhism, Hinduism and any other eastern philosophy you could think of.

only in virginia nowhere else

Ok...and your point is? This has nothing to do with my salvation...

I think you need to get over your biases and animosity toward Christians Tero...Not all of us are ignorant as you so eloquently put it once.

I'm bored... I seem to be always working. I guess you could say I haven't found anything that I'm really passionate about yet. Work is just that.. it pays the bills

Although, I was happy about one thing last night

<geek mode>
Found a solution to speed up the database queries on one of my servers, dropping the page creation times from 2 secs to .5 sec. It is a dual opteron 244 with 2 gb of ram and it'd get backed up from all the db queries once a day and my uptime monitoring alarm would start going off each time. I've been wondering how I could solve that problem so I could use that server for more than that one site.
</geek mode>

^^O brotha...u are b ored!



lol...

Strobe...can u post a picture of urself?



hehe

you see....i wasnt kidding here

I am not bitter towards Christianity, I could actually be considered a Christian. All I'm saying is it's usually seen as a sin in Christianity to preach or advocate false doctrines. And I am very sure that I have seen you say other religions that aren't Christianity are false doctrines. Now it looks like you're starting to see the some of the real meaning of spirituality, and it turns out to be a teaching present in many other doctrines and only subtly in Christianity. I was just asking if you realized...

And if you do, are you beginning to think that maybe the message/s of your religion has been altered and corrupted by man (it was in the hands of sinners for two thousand years, mind you). Not edited and changed completely, just skewed so a few things are misunderstood and harder to see, or there are things there that weren't before due to human selfishness. You know what I mean? Firmly believing in the christian doctrine means you have less understanding of God's messages.

If you disagree, then you should probably think about it more. If God loves everybody in the world, why would he limit himself to letting only ONE group of people know about him? What about the unlucky ones that didn't live in the regions the message reached? The reason there are so many different religions is because God is everywhere, with everyone... How could there NOT be other religions? It's just a different take on the same basic shit. A lot of it is metaphorical, and every religion is corrupted in some way by the people who only wanted to exploit it.

That's because the message is so hard to grasp and convey, it can only truly be learned by experience. You know what I mean?

I'm happy......

^raw truth.......
