Happiness
Why does it seem so hard for some people to be happy? I believe that happiness is a choice. You can choose what parts of your life you want to focus on. Do you focus on the things you have or the things you don’t have? Sure, it might make you complacent. It might mean you don’t reach for the stars or meet your full potential. But if your happy, does it really matter? If you are content and appreciative of what you have in your life are you not better off? I’m just getting out of a relationship and am now seeing just how negative they really were. How they couldn’t find happiness in their daily life and the effect it’s had on those around them. Any thoughts? How do you find happiness? Are you happiest when you achieve/obtain something you didn’t think you could or do you find happiness in the things you have in your life?

I think the answer is somewhere in between, it's important find short term happiness in your everyday life, like walking on the street, drawing, reading, etc... But if you focus too much there will be a point where you feel empty, that's when long term happiness kicks in, having the career you wanted, being in peace at your job, getting that fancy car you wanted, etc... Life is more of a balance between a lot of things more than: what's better, this or that? Enjoy everyday is important but wanting more is also human, as long as there is balance and you don't get obsessed you will be fine (edited)

Try logic next time
Everything happens for a reason isn't philosophy. Its just your way of avoiding accountability.

Be yourself
Life is so much easier when you stop being the person you think others want you to be and just be who you are People can tell when you're pretending to be someone you're not and they don't like it It might be cliche to say just be yourself, but it's cliche for a reason

What’s an outdated belief or practice that you believe still holds some truth today?

Question.
Do you think a small, beautiful moment can be more meaningful than a lifetime of grand achievements? Personally, I think one small perfect moment would be better then anything even if it's a fraction of a moment but I mean lots of perfect beautiful moments exist if you look at the world right. But... read more

More emotional awareness leads to more emotional suffering.
You start to notice small small things and its really tiring. Overthinking everything, suffering by yourself.

Am I wired wrong to think different?
Everytime i try to keep my perspective and thoughts infont of my friends they never understand it, I try to put as much logic and sense in my conversations as possible but somehow my views always ends up offending them. Am I the one wired wrong?

Singularity.
> It appears to me that the problem of defining reality (whether it is real or simulated) hinges on the ontological impossibility of answering the question about the origin of being itself. Let us carry out a systematic and philosophically rigorous analysis of my intuitions. --- I. Aporia of... read more

..........
The glory of original thoughts. Most people spend their days parroting opinions, phrases and lifestyles. They can live without having a single original thought. An assembly line product, a machine with a memory chip. Embrace the gift of creation. Have your own thoughts! (edited)

The natural world is so beautiful but...
Our perspective is now trapped in the artificial world, that we don't even raise our head and see the beautiful world. When I was first struck with this thought and raised my head, I can't even recognize the route that I always take to my home. (It was beautiful) Try to raise your eyes and see... read more

Is It Worth the Chase?
If happiness is a fleeting state and suffering is inevitable, should we still pursue happiness at all costs?
