Re: On the nature of happiness

[philstar22]

I couldn't tell you about the last question as I don't know either character.

Honestly I think it is all personal for the rest, though. I think happiness and what it takes to be happy is very personal and different from person to person. For me it is less about goals than about making a difference, helping people, making the world a better place. But that's just me. It is different for everyone.

Re: On the nature of happiness

So you are what people call 'Driven'. You couldn't be happy for long without a challenge, a new cause. If you were suddenly transported to a hypothetical utopia where everyone is happy and there are no causes to be championed, could you lay back and enjoy the world? Or would you need to find SOMETHING?

Re: On the nature of happiness

[philstar22]

Yes. but that something could be just making someone smile, making some cats and dogs happy. I don't need to save the world. I just need to be helpful.

Re: On the nature of happiness

[thewakokid]

What if this utopia already has it covered? Everyone is already happy? Dogs and Cats and every stranger on the street. Hard to imagine, but lets just assume it's legit. Could you rest? Or would you hear the whisper of "you could do more?" Could you be happy in a world where any attempt you made to help another person would yield only a LOWER level of happiness than leaving things alone? Where all you had to to would be to keep out of peoples way and live your own life unconcerned with them? Or would that feel like some isolating and sterile torture to you?

And here's another question just for fun: Would you endure it or rebel against it? Would you just accept that you have to feel this miserable isolation and uselessness for the whole world to be happy? Or would you try to make yourself feel happy by doing SOMETHING for others, even with the probability it would lessen everyone else's bliss?

Like example - You see a man, he is hungry. You can make him a sandwich right now, and feed him, or you can let him walk to the automated perfect sandwich machine and let him get a custom made perfect sandwich 10% than your sandwich. That example, but on a global level.

Would I rebel? No. Because everyone else is happy. But my own self worth issues would mean I would probably start to feel useless even worthless. Working on it.

Re: On the nature of happiness

[thewakokid]

Sorry, it probably sounds like I'm just picking at it to trick or trap you. You gave me your answer early on, you need to be needed. You want to achieve, even something small. to feel useful. I don't mean to worry at something you feel is an issue, and I guess at that point I AM just picking at it to see where your lines are.

I'll be honest, I'm picking at it because I just don't understand it. Maybe I'm lazy, selfish, or maybe it's my own self worth / efficacy issues, but I don't feel the same way you do, and I don't really get it, but I'm not to be a jerk about it.

Re: On the nature of happiness

[philstar22]

Honestly a lot of it comes from an unhealthy place and my upbringing and my self worth issues. And those are things I'm working on. I don't think anyone else's worth is in what they do, so that should also mean mine isn't. But it is just the way I feel.

Re: On the nature of happiness

"A lot of it comes from an unhealthy place and my upbringing"

Isn't it always? Yeah that stuff is in the lot of us. Don't mean that to sound dismissive, but yeah, no-one makes it out of childhood without a few unhealthy views of our place in the world.
