Happiness is a feeling. Doubt it could be classed as an emotion

It's a temporary bliss-bomb. Maybe that's what drug-users and alcoholics are chasing, religionists too. And power-cravers. Sadists, etc.

I disagree with the poster who said the unhappy don't analyse happiness. They do. They remember the high of the temporary bliss-bomb. It's why advertisers push the new-car feeling. New clothing feeling. Holiday feeling. Food feeling, so on. So much for the material ...

(should not be a double-space here but it happens)
Then there's the in-love feeling. It's another form of high (temporary bliss-bomb)

Promotion high (temporary bliss-bomb)
Getting attention high
New hair-cut high
New diet/better looking body high
Social media high via boasting, lying, shopped-photos

As a species, we're addicted -- as addicted as drunk animals who found the fermented fruit

why -- because it feels good

Unhappiness is lack of that high

Happiness can be a case of Fake It Till You Make It. And most of us do it regularly

So happiness can be faked and manufactured at will. What does that say?

Nothing wrong with happiness but it's a bit like sugar craving

Developing a sense of peace, acceptance and of course, contentment, seem healthier overall, imo

In over-populated nations - MONEY does indeed buy 'happiness' and a freedom (ticket) out of Hell.
Simple as that!

In Australia - the over-indulgent and financially out of control nation. Happiness comes to the few who get to breed in our 'Gay' society.

Those nations, happiness of people is relevant to location and its society.

Thanks, Bobby. I'll take a look at that later

Meanwhile, wrong forum wrong thread (more suited to disbelievers in the Fringe or Spirituality forums)

there's this. Read it several years ago - puts lots into perspective

“Consider that you can see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1% of the acoustic spectrum.

As you read this, you are traveling at 220 km/sec across the galaxy.

90% of the cells in your body carry their own microbial DNA and are not “you.”

The atoms in your body are 99.9999999999999999% empty space and none of them are the ones you were born with, but they all originated in the belly of a star.

Human beings have 46 chromosomes, 2 less than the common potato.

The existence of the rainbow depends on the conical photoreceptors in your eyes; to animals without cones, the rainbow does not exist. So you don’t just look at a rainbow, you create it. This is pretty amazing, especially considering that all the beautiful colors you see represent less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum.” –Sergio Toporek

Yes PZ547,
I was aware of all of that.
Still - you would find much more on the sound track I posted
from the words of an Indian mystic.

Many years ago you would have to travel to India to hear such
insights but now they are available at the click of a button.

It can save you a lot of air fares.
I also know someone who went to India and nearly died from dengue fever -
you can be saved from that too.

We see, with our little human eyes, less than 1% of all that exists, same limitations on our little human ears

Thus, 99% of all that exists lies outside our limited human perception

Occasionally, humans see/hear a bit more of that teeming, invisible (to us) soup by which we're surrounded and enveloped

and those humans are described as mad, delusional, fantasists, etc

Happiness is (H - uH)

H = Happiness
uH = unHappiness

You can attain happiness by recognizing then rejecting and/or eliminating all the things that make you unhappy

Once you've completed the "unhappy" rejection/elimination process, only happiness remains - for you to enjoy

Set theory

Put the theory into practice. It worked for me

That means happiness of yours is relevant to your personality.

Relevant to my whole being, not only my personality

I rejected and eliminated everything in my life I wasn't happy about, everything that was making my life miserable, and I replaced them with things that made me happy. Those things were humble because I don't need extravagance nor do I want extravagance, I wasn't raised that way, I came from a relatively poor family which didn't complain, just kept going in spite of hardships

I knew that to attain true happiness, there'd be little point trying to reach the heights of Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest, so I stayed within the bounds of my "earthly being" and station in life. That meant having modest possessions, no more than I needed to live comfortable, but without excesses or disruption

No one else can make you happy, you must do it yourself, and yes, it's a personal and individual thing, but not just your personality alone, your whole being must be taken into consideration

Well, its a nice theory, but it is of necessity a personal one. I would not be able to advise anyone on this subject, but I do know that Happiness is rarely analysed by the unhappy. Likewise, few people have goals beyond the material. For me, it is not so much what you have, as what you do.

Yes each person must decide what will make them happy, it's very personal for sure

I did indeed analyze my own situation and found it wanting, there was far too much famine in my life, but to get into feast I needed to embark on the rejection/elimination process

It took planning, money and achievement of goals over a 15 year period.

The planning was based on "What would make me happy?" (I needed to get out of drudgery and stop bowing to other people most of the time)

The money was to come from honest full time work (some went into savings, some into Super)

The goals were based on sporadic things in life I'd already experienced that left me with a great deal of satisfaction and that warm inner glow feeling, but were all too often interrupted

In the final analysis, I needed to get out of the big city, have my own place, have no debt, be in picturesque surroundings, be able to carry on my hobbies uninterrupted, have a reliable vehicle, have friendly folk as neighbors but not too close, a bare minimum of traffic lights and cops, a minimum of government interference and a low to reasonable cost of living

This sounds like a lot but I actually achieved every one of those, I rejected my former life and made a new life based on what would make me happy - for the rest of my life

Your happiness is relevant to your place and people which arround you, that is society.

Not unless you call three or four neighbors a society .... and we're spread out, we're not living on top of one another, there's lush green stretches of land in between each property. Society? no, just a small village comprised of a few peaceful content and happy residents

'What' is our human DNA about ?

Can you believe it ?

Someone say's that "DNA Can Be Influenced And Reprogrammed By Words And Frequencies - Russian DNA Discoveries"

Quote:

....Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins.

It is this subset of DNA that is of interest to western researchers and is being examined and categorized.

The other 90% are considered "junk DNA.

The Russian researchers, however, convinced that nature was not dumb, joined linguists and geneticists in a venture to explore those 90% of "junk DNA".

Their results, findings and conclusions are simply revolutionary!

Great topic.

I chased happiness when i was a young adult. I was never happy as a kid and for a while equated 'party" = "happiness". Sex, booze, rock and roll sort of thinking.

As I got older I realized that happiness is a relative state and you cannot be happy all the time. You need some unhappiness to appreciate happiness.

Now I realize I am happiest when:
- i help people
- when I do something that makes someone else happy
- when I am less selfish than when i was a hedonistic arsehole
- when I have no financial or security fears
- my family are happy

To this end, i no longer worry about happiness but an inner feeling of contentment.
if i have been the best person i could be today... then I am content.
I feel happy when I see joy in those close to me.
