I ask because I feel as if I have everything, or at least that's what people
tell me and honestly, it's believable, but I don't think I'm happy at all. So I
want to know, (philosophical question here but bear with me) how do you know
that you a r e happy and not just deluding yourself into believing that you are
when in fact you're not?
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands, if you're happy and you know it
clap your hands, if you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it,
if you're happy and you know it clap your hands.
you're happy when you feel like nothing can go wrong in your life, and that
you're much more fortunate than those people in ethiopia. so atleast for their
sake, be happy xb
maybe this means I've reached the complete end of the line and I'm not just one
more statistic in the Class A sector of my country, who have everything and feel
completely empty still? So, this makes me feel even shittier...
If you are real happy, you just feel it. If you think, you aren't, then you
surely aren't.. If you think, happiness is possessing everything in the life,
then you're happy. And you say, you'd have everything... But that's not my
definition/way of happiness... Yeah, I know, I'm not a big help
Happiness is a feeling, so you feel it and you don't say, yes, now I'm happy/
I'm not happy

I'd sort of anticipated this, and I thought yes, happiness must be a feeling,
but still your mind filters what you like and don't like. It's a roundabout,
probably fallacious discussion, but I still don't know... because when you a r e
happy, you must know it, but then not all feelings we feel are feelings we know.
Ok, I'm confusing everyone now, I'll stop.

Now, that IS confusing me, what do you mean with being happy? Some single
moments or a general feeling? I meant the general feeling... And I think, the
general feeling has nothing to do with what our mind likes or doesn't like. The
general happiness is a feeling coming from your heart.
Hmm I think, I AM happy, because I live my life as I want to. I'm not going the
way all others are going and I have full freedom in my thoughts. That makes me
happy. I'm also asking me, if I'm happy. And there are lots of things that
aren't good in my life. But just knowing, I'm unique makes me a little happy. I
could be more happier for sure, But I AM happy. It's just a feeling you know.
I hope, THIS has helped
Yes, I'm referring to the general feeling. And so now that you mentioned it, we
get to the heart of the matter. Thanks for that, though I still don't know if I
am happy or not.
I know I'm happy when I have a new anime that doesn't suck sitting in front of
me and lots of nummy junk food. Eh, don't know if that really counts tho'
Honestly, it depends on the situation. I know I'm happy when I get this feeling
that starts at the bottom of my tummy and works its way onto my face... then I
smile and run about like a sugar crazed maniac. I like being happy.... wait,
that could be hyper.
Heck, I guess if I was happy right now I could tell ya better.
Happiness, what a word....I suppose the word itself makes us think of a
particular emotion, which for me is this warmth spreading from my heart. So when
someone asks if you're happy, aren't they really asking if you are getting that
feeling or something like it? So technically you can't delude yourself about
your own happiness, because emotions don't require you to think; they just
happen....of course emotions are still controlled by your mind, but then again,
what isn't?
To me, happy is when i don't have a single worry in my mind - i can just do the
daily routines and leisures without worrying what will happen in the future or
the next day at least. at the end of the day you go home and retire for the
evening and night.
you're happy when you don't have much worries, when you think you achieved your
goals but also we after achieving some goals we choose others so we will only be
happy temporarily!
My happiness is only a shorttimed feeling cause I'm happy when I just saw a
movie I liked or a friend I made, stuff like that! I think I will only be truly
happy when I find my true love and make her mine!
And hapinness is very diferent from person to person, some ppl are happy by
appleasing other ppl, others by completing games, etc!!
Find your true happiness and you surely won't feel like you do anymore!!
when u know ur happy u will just know.. because its like all your worries and
problems just dissapear, you dont think about anyting that bothers u and you
just go out and have fun..
actually having everything sometimes makes you unhappy you know. the whole
process is what makes you happy. you work for something and when you get it you
obviously get it because you deserved it. then you will know when your happy.

It's all about believing....
(you
know you're happy when you don't care about questions like this anymore 
)
see, questions like this are a direct consequence of too much philosophy classes in Ateneo.
Uhhh you clap your hands?
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands, if you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands.
