Happiness Is Overrated … 5 comments
I think people spend way too much time trying to be happy. People don’t realize that spending time being happy means that they are going to spend equally as much time being not happy to the same degree. That’s just physics. Pendulums swinging and all that.
You can’t know you are happy unless you have an equal degree of unhappiness to compare it too.
Besides, people are who are happy all of the time are scary. They have kind of a brainwashed aura about them.
I like being around people who are real. They are just going with the flow and feeling what they are feeling. They aren’t taking drugs to find a happiness balance. They aren’t taking the drugs to help them stuff their emotions into a box so they can walk around and pretend they are happy. They understand that the unhappiness they are feeling is temporary and that the things they think are making them unhappy are just an illusion. They recognize that the balance is whatever they are feeling in the moment.
Don’t get me wrong. Happiness is a wonderful thing. I love happiness. But I love real happiness. Not forced happiness. Not showy happiness. Not the illusion of happiness.
Nothing beats real happy.
Smile For Good Karma … no comments
One of the easiest ways to spread happiness is to smile and say *hello!* to a stranger.
I try and do it at least once a day when I’m out on the street. It really takes people by surprise. And it’s very easy to do.
