It's odd. I wanted an I-Pod very badly, I got one. Suddenly, I want a labtop.

Is human happiness fleeting?

Maybe for some people (like my brother) who just can't seem to buy enough things.

No,I would not say happiness is fleeting. Neither of those would have made you happy in the first place. That is just want. Want comes and goes. If you suppress your want, then you'll be able to control your happiness.

Happiness does not equate to material objects.

Needs are limitless.
Realize your limits and you will be happy.

No. Getting a laptop or Ipod isn't happiness. Well it is.. temporary.. All happiness is temporary. But it's definitely not fleeting.

Happiness keeps us sane, a feel good feeling that everything around us is under control.

Happiness does not equate to material objects.
Of course it does.

Needs are limitless.
Realize your limits and you will be happy.

Isn't that supposed to be 'wants'?

Isn't that supposed to be 'wants'?

Yes, it is.

Isn't that supposed to be 'wants'?

No, it is specifically limits.
Most people wants always more stuff because they think this way they can compensate for what they thinks are their lacks or limits... Mass mediatic culture is a git :p

Oh, Potaria could you please avoid talking on my behalf? Thanks.

Of course it does.

Then you are clearly mistaken my boy. :p

Well.. if you put it that way. :D

There is no happiness in God, if that's what your hinting to.

Well.. if you put it that way. :D

Getting too philosophical, maybe i should get a life :D

There is no happiness in God, if that's what your hinting to.

I don't think that's what he meant. There's happiness being material things and it's not just god. It's happiness about your life, anything. Not necessarily god. I think you don't realize this because you have always gotten what you want.

Sounds like it.

There is no happiness in God, if that's what your hinting to.

No. Religion is hope.

But there is more to happiness than material wants.

There is family, friends, career. Don't tell me you don't feel happy when you get good results for your exam (for example). :)

Sure I do, but teh exam is paper.

Give yourself a long term purpose and then you'll find happiness while fulfilling it...

My personal one is to shake hands with Bill Gates... I'm getting closer and closer to that but still not there ;)

Mine is to become a billionaire and laugh in people's faces. But then, I'll want to become a trillionaire...etc

Happiness is a wife, a blanket and a fireplace on a cold and sleepy winter night.

Ewww, what's so special in being a trillionaire unless you want to own the whole world?
It's not like money can fullfill desires after a while...

You can by everything with money.

Yep, but stuff you can buy stops being interesting after a while ;)

You need to really look inside yourself. I'm thinking you have never done that before.

Happiness isn't fleeting isn't it? If it lasts forever, you wouldn't be motivated to continue getting more..

If there isn't any happiness.. you'll have serious mental problems.

No, I haven't. I took religion classes, didn't help either.

Well, if you were serious i think you need to have a walk and open your mind a bit... That's why i love traveling ;)

I travel a lot as well. I go to Europe every summer.

Yep, but stuff you can buy stops being interesting after a while ;)

Yeah.. It can go 2 ways...

You can either be a stinge and keep on amassing your wealth until doomsday.. Or a be real giver and a planetshaker.

People do find happiness in helping others you know.

Cool, ever been in Italy? Aside from politics is a very cool place

Maybe it's human nature just to constantly strive for perfection. We never reach it, but we still try to get it.

Umm...Kinda got scared of it after my friends lost their BMW to teh mafia. My Mercedes would go as well.

I've been to germnay, France...Never going to Poland...Afraid of being robbed.

Yep, but either way you aren't really enjoying life or money :)

If you're stingy then you're just a sad person, while if you're a giver then you enjoy making other people happy :cool:

people spend their entire lives chasing happines...

I travel a lot as well. I go to Europe every summer.

Nah.. Don't go to Europe, and I bet you'll just see the famous places and arts and boring stuff right? I don't know your age, but I think your too young to be Euro-partying Am I right?

Anyway.. as travelling, when your older, try backpacking.. Go down to the people. Stay with them, mingle with them.. See how people live their lives in all forms of society from the rich to the poor. Then you'll have a broader view of life.

If not, now all you mostly see is finishing your school, getting a degree and get a high paying job, or starting your own business.

Helping people doesn't make me happy. I have to buy a new batch of pencils every week, because my classroom neighbor always looses the ones I lend him.

Dude, it was some local thief, the mafia is not interested in cars since they're running more or less the place now...
Just remember to lock the car and you're ok lol

Make a tour of the pubs then things will get more interesting ;)

Umm...Still don't trust the place. I'll have to rent a car, and you know what kind of crappy cars Eurocars give you.

When I mean 'Real Giver' I'm not talking about giving away completely All his wealth, you still keep your money and go on with your daily lives getting richer. There are better ways of doing it. Like supporting NGO's.

Simply Giving away your money recklessly is reckless. You don't help the poor by giving them money straight off the bat. You create jobs for them.. Something continous that in turn would help their children and grandchildren out of poverty.

Umm...Still don't trust the place. I'll have to rent a car, and you know what kind of crappy cars Eurocars give you.

Just ask for a good car, we italians still make the best of them... Ferrari, anyone? :D

He's 13. He can't be euro-partying. Uh.. thats some term we use in Malaysia. Partying.. going nightclubs.. beer etc etc. You get what I mean right?

It is common for people to look for things outside themselves to bring them happiness. Material possessions, romantic partners, economic prosperity, drug use - but you will never find it with that outlook. One must look inward for happiness.

I enjoy museums very much.

I'm 13. I plan to invest all my money in stocks, hope for the best.

Stocks.. ummm... If I were you and as rich. I'll go into property as well. Stocks are good but uncertain. Don't keep all your eggs in one basket.

Oh, yes. We can compare pencils to helping humanity. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry if my post comes across as being "Holier-Than-Thou", but if you base your happiness primarily on material possessions, then you will find happiness to be as fleeting as the possessions you base it on.

Then you are clearly mistaken my boy. :p
There is no happiness in God, if that's what your hinting to.
It doesn't necessarily have to be religion; you don't have to base your happiness on a faith in Almighty God (though, personally, that's what I try to make my first choice). You could base your happiness on your contact with your friends and family or on a hobby of some kind.

No. Religion is hope.

But there is more to happiness than material wants.

There is family, friends, career. Don't tell me you don't feel happy when you get good results for your exam (for example).
Sure I do, but teh exam is paper.
When Greedy Pigs talks about a school exam as an example, he's not referring to the paper the exam is printed on. He's talking about the accomplishment involved in passing the exam, in attempting something difficult and succeeding. You could base your happiness on what you do and what you accomplish.


Happiness is a wife, a blanket and a fireplace on a cold and sleepy winter night.

Heheheheheh.... I would have to agree with the good Mr. Rockwell on this.

Anyway, you can find happiness in spending time with friends and family, in spending time working on a hobby, in spending time in practical studies.... Just don't base happiness on material wealth alone; getting money and spending money per se do not bring you any form of happiness that lasts. I used to buy and collect cards for the Star Trek Customizable Card Game (http://startrekccg.fanhq.com/) when I was younger. I was fascinated with getting new cards. Eventually, the novelty wore off; today, those cards sit in boxes in my room. I haven't played in at least 5 years. I might get around to playing again, someday, but that seems very unlikely.

Your happiness lasts only as long as what you base it on.

First, YAY A MOD POSTED ON MY THREAD.

Second, I know that there is more to happiness than material objects, but I don't believe happiness is in God.

Your card game is a good example of fleeting happiness. I collected cards, and they lie in the cupboard under my sink.

Can I make an addition to the vote I cast? I said human happiness is fleeing, and I just want to add that it's a good thing too. We need to have a driving force of discontentment so that we can keep pushing oursleves.

Never thought of it that way.

Helligkeit, please consider helping the less fortunate. It may not make you happy, but it will certainly make them happy. Be wise on how you give to them, too. :)

But isn't that choosing to base your compassion purely on the basis of how how good it makes you feel, and is therefore a selfish act rather than a generous one?

Not really. I feel animals have the need more. There are people that harm animals, and when ever I'm driving along teh road, and see a runover sqirre it just makes me feel like crap.

Humans are intelligent. They can fend for themselves, and know the dangers of things.

In a way, it is selfish.

Well I'm not going to argue about the value of generosity to humans compared to animals here. Do you agree with my idea that we should be discontent though?

Humans are intelligent.

Heh. That's debatable. ;)

Do you agree with my idea that we should be discontent though?

What do you mean?

Heh. That's debatable. ;)
True...lol...Look at Bush.

What do you mean?

You have misguided ideas about people. You should be worried about other people, but you're not. Even animals know how to share with members of their own species. You need to meet some poor people. You lack an understanding of their situation.

Not really. I had just seen 'teh Life Aquatic", and was walking down the stairs to my car when I see this guy on drugs. I thought I'd help him. But then, I realized:
If I give him money he'll uy alcohol and drugs, harming him more, and wasting my money.

very few rich people think anything other than "Poor people are only in their situation because they are lazy" - those that do give to them do it for the image of being generous and a humanitarian. They will never realize that there is much more to being poor than being lazy because they haven't the slightest clue as to what it's like to grow up in poverty.

That's just one person. My mom makes $8,000 a year. So I ask you this. Does that mean it's my fault that I grew up in poverty? Does that mean I can fend for myself?

If people bother you, try helping the children. They need help and it is almost never their fault that they live in poverty.

Happiness is Ferret!

Hmmm.... He's got a point, there, Oksana.

However, Heiligkeit, throwing money at a problem is not always the best solution. You could also have bought him a sandwich (assuming that he wasn't so single-minded on drugs that he'd refuse the sandwich). Have you considered volunteering your time at a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter?

There's a Chinese saying, I think:

"Happy is not who gets what he wants, but who wants what he gets."

To know that I have friends and a family I can rely on makes me far more happier than the fact that I own what I own. That is just a bonus. :)

Fran

What do you mean?

I mean that we should be discontent so that we force ourselves to improve ourselves. If we were always happy we would become lazy and eventually all get wiped out by a meteor or something.

Oh, yes, I agree.

I think it depends on a lot. Within the confines of "satisfaction from material acquisition", however, I have found that I'm more likely to be satisfied if I acquire an object that I want for its function rather than for its own sake.

Well, my happiness is fleeting. It left early Monday, and I expect it back any minute.

TGIF!

I'm not saying you have to give money to homeless people. Giving it to homeless people is unfortunately not very productive.

More importantly, it's a Sheryl Crow lyric.

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching tv
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
