abbydog95 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 What do you define true happiness as? It can be what makes you happy, who makes you happy, anything related. Discuss PSN: Skaterguy1224 Tactical Nukes - 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrobean Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hmm for me that would be being able to live outside of this society, away from taboos (eg; sex, drugs and various other subjects) away from politics, money and anything I do not want to be related to. Being self-sufficient would make me a very happy person. Or being dominated by a female for the rest of my life seems plausible aswell.

BlueLancer Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Helping misfortunate people who really deserve it even if it ends up costing me a bunch of $. I don't expect anything in return nor am I religious. It's one of the few genuine sources of satisfaction I can still find in life. Not talking about people whose favourite football team went bankrupt, I mean people who are the real victims in this 'game'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cha0sx Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Being carefree. Not aloof, but not completely detached either. Yeah this probably. Stress and work sucks, but also not caring about anything at all ends up leaving you empty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 To me, happiness is having control of what I can do, and living how I chose to - not the way everyone else wants. Unfortunately I've never had real happiness before - being trapped with parents I don't want to be around. But I'll find it eventually. I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog].

Skeptical Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I don't think that there really is anything that can be called "True Happiness" - people always want what they can't have, and want to more than what they have.

Danqazmlp Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think there are different levels of happiness, and i also think they change from person to person. I personally have three main, but very different memories of events which i could describe as 'perfect' for the time, and still bring a smile to my face thinking of them, even if for others they wouldn't be so great. One memory is from when i was very young, probably between 3-6, on one of my birthdays, out on out pateo, with my family, sun shining, my god-mother had got me a farm set for my birthday, and we laid it out on a blanket. That memory has stuck with me for the last 15+ years, so i can say that was happiness. The second was about a year ago, on a night out with my two best friends from secondary school, on the way back from buying some drink, stopped at a bench that overlooks the river that go's though the town in the middle of a park, and sat there for about half an hour talking, drinking and just having a good time. I guess it sticks in my mind because it was the last time we were all out with each other with no bad things going on in any of our lives, and no complications, and it was about two months before one went to uni, and the other started full-time work. The third memory, well, brings a massive grin to my face, but i wouldn't be allowed to explain it here on TIF, but is definately here in my three memories which i believe i had true happiness.

Jernlov Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I would say achieving what you set out to do with your life will make most people attain true happiness; be it in the form of good results, getting the job you wanted to get... I don't know, anything that you've accomplished. Something like that happened with me last year. I was elated for at least a week.
