Philosophic Discussion about Happiness

What is wrong with humans?

There are more sad, angry, and stressful moments than happy ones. Happiness is short lived. It is simply a moment. In between the happiness and sadness is contentment or simply neutrality/no emotions. I think we strive for that because it's not possible to wake up with extreme joy every morning. I feel that being stable is to live in between these 2 states, but how, when the scale isn't balanced. Sadness lasts longer. Sad events happen more frequently. Why? Do animals go through this?
Well, I know alligators don't. (Que Timeflipper). I read somewhere that it is a survival technique. But then, that makes the purpose of life survival. Is surviving and reproducing our only purpose?

Why is sadness > happiness in humanity?

So, it’s basically not real. You have to trick yourself into feeling it. Or maybe it’s just a chemical reaction like romantic love.

No No No! Your emotions are real. As long as you are alive. You might be susceptible to external stimuli. But that is transitory. What goes on in your head is your choice. You will have a much more enjoyable day if you think pleasant thoughts instead of political thoughts. This is not a trick! It is just maintaining a sane rational mind.

Love is not just a chemical reaction.
Chemical reactions are entangled with romantic love, they are neither just the cause, nor are they just a result off.

No, you can't trick the universe. You cannot fake appreciation. It is a tangible energy. You can say thank you a million times a day for the water, the roof over your head, the spoon that makes soup easier to consume, the fridge for preserving your food, the clothes that keep you dry in the rain, but if you don't believe it then it would be meaningless.

Reactions to situations are partially ego, conditions to which through hundreds of repetitions we built upon layers and layers and layers of defense mechanisms that dictate which action best keeps us alive and unhurt.
The practice of NLP can use repetition to reprogram your brain so that your appreciations become real but there are nuances that need to be understood underlying it's principles. The most important of which is that the work needs to be real.

Humans are insanely efficient when it comes to justifying actions and decisions that are not in their best interest, whether it concerns health, friendships, family, work, money etc. Much more so when under peer pressures. A long term and inevitable result of this is almost always people not even able to know what happiness feels like any longer. In short, they have lost their connection to their spirit.

If you want to feel happy again, you need to go inside. You need to look for it, you need to rewrite bad justifications, self defense mechanisms, etc. What they call, finding the inner child.
 
I'll admit I'm a pessimist. With brain damage and health problems tearing me apart, it's hard to look on the bright side of life. But to keep things in perspective, I also realize there are a lot of people far worse off than I am, and I could have been one of them (and still might be towards the end). I try not to say the last part with arrogance but more as an observation.

I tend to focus on the negative a lot for the reasons given above. There are also times I put my foot down and say, "I just ain't going there" and try to find something else to do to keep my mind off it. Sometimes that's easier said than done.

But what I mean is the negative keeps happening. You can get over the death of one person, then a month later it happens again. It reapeats.
We spend more time healing than feeling elated. I'm not necessarily talking about being depressed. There are literally more sad events than happy.
 
Yeah well unfortunately you don't just wake up deciding to be happy and it all works out that way.
Shadow work takes decades. The older you are the more brain washing you're gonna have to find and reprogram.

Yes, your mother will die, so will you, and your kids, and your neighbours, and the body i'm in, and everybody else.
Personally I don't consider this a bad thing, i've never understood why humans react to death the way they do. I can't fucking wait to get off this planet and go home. Nothing actually dies...

But, reacting as if she is going to tomorrow...that isn't necessarily true. Your fear is leading your reaction here.
I don't think theres any cure for everything in the shots, but there are protocols, many of them now in fact that do treat the majority of issues with it. And thats even if it was an active shot...one in three are still placebo as far as I know.
I'd still sue the shit out of them though, regardless.

Patterns however repeat because you haven't learned the lesson yet, usually. Hard to know if it applies to you or not. Each journey is personal and there are no absolute statements that effect everyone. But the path leads you to your higher timeline, what ever that may be.
