Happiness

B&W · 30 May 2011 at 11:57

Quiet bank holiday at work got me thinking about life and its value. I reckon most people live life to satisfy there desires, whatever they may be. Perhaps I am wrong, if so tell me why you believe so.

What is happiness for you?

For me it is (in no order):

Sex
Alcohol
Driving
Video games
Good movie or documentary
Quality time with wife/family
Nice holiday
Good food at restaurant

Could go on, but im sure you get the gist. Hopefully this will be a positive thread instead of the usual depressing stuff (including the weather).

Life is about satisfying our primitive needs by using our advanced thought processes.

Happiness comes from within. That's what uncle Phil said anyway.

Yes, if you only think of yourself as a biological machine.

Happiness is something completely different, and is not about the ego either.

In order:

God
Everything else

To the OP, Happiness != Hedonism

Holidays abroad
A good film or documentary
Recently joined a gym, I go 5 times a week and it really cheers me up. I feel bad for not going on the days I'm resting.

Tragically.

Less tragically, my kids.

Laughter
Trance music
Food
Orgasm
Video games

Happy - being right on the internet

Sad - being wrong on the internet
