What Is Happiness

What is happiness

Happiness is an individual decision. We tend to cling to our ideals until someone or something shakes us to the very core of our existence and reason for living. I have on two occasions been to that place, so dismal, so much despair, sorrow, suffering and pain. Once you've experienced this kind of suffering, you don't recognize happiness anymore for a long time. It can be very hard to be happy sometimes.

It can be staring you in the face, but you won't recognize it. 

Only kind and supportive people, prayer and a kind of rebirth can heal you. I don't believe in happiness anymore. That was a conclusion I came to When someone I totally believed in let me down, all the way down then proceeded to stalk my income with a lawsuit in California courts. Not only them but my God did too. The God of my religion. The religion I believed in at the time. The God that that religion worshipped turn out not to be an honest God.

It was a god that gulped up worship to feed its ego. A powerless god but for the worship bestowed upon it by the unsuspecting followers, the parishioners. 

I have long sense abandoned my disbelief in happiness. Happiness is many things to many people. Happiness is all around us when we choose to see it. Happiness is when your grand child motions with their tiny hand for you to bend down, and whispers I love you grandma. Happiness is when you wake up one day and realize: I really don't have any problems, it was all an illusion. Happy is when someone you've loved and admired from a distance walks up to you one day and stands beside you, takes you by the hand, looks into you eyes and smiles.

I believe in finding joy in the things of life, people, friends, loved ones and in helping others. I believe the only true definition of happiness is one that paints it as a temporal moment in a larger measure of time, for example: I love ice cream and when I'm eating it, for that moment, in that particular day, I'm happy, and when I'm done, I don't feel unhappy. If you want to feel joy all the time, or happiness as many might call it, you must learn to live above fear of losing any thing, you must learn to live above the things of a material world. If not, your happiness will always be in jeopardy.

It is the nature of mankind. 

We want something until we get it. We love something until we tire of it, or simply change our mind. We need something until it's replaced. Only people who love everyone and everything in life, including changes welcomed and changes not welcomed, can be happy. And quite frankly most people are not capable of doing that. Not in general. The mind of a happy person must be nurtured and developed. It's really hard to do in a world that can throw you a crap ball at any time. How does it do that you ask? By taking things away from you! That is the tool governments and people in general
use to inflict pain and suffering upon you. And they do it with every intention of making you miserable. It makes them feel power to do things like that. To take something away from you, to oppress you with their power. A power that really doesn't even exist, unless you let it exist.

Many people don't even love themselves most of the time. How can that person ever be happy thinking like that? They can't, but some will take it out on you. How could they play a reliable role in what makes you happy? What is happiness? It's love: The ability to love everyone unconditionally and have no complaints about anything. To accept what is as is, changing only what is in your power to change; you. This is "the" key to happiness, but there are other sub-keys, with the primary one being; wisdom. Look for it find it and make it yours! A wise man, a wise woman understands his or her environment well enough to stay ahead of the curves. You can throw them a curve if you want to, they'll know it out of the park every time. They've CHOSEN to be happy!
