Philosophic Discussion about Happiness

[PaulaJedi]

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.

She was my best friend. Her mind already left. She knows who I am, but she has very little to say anymore and doesn't remember a whole lot.
So, technically, I already lost her. Knowing we all go doesn't help. And you're right, she isn't going yet, so I shouldn't pre-mourn. That's the hard part. Still.......where are the happy events? Don't you see that humans experience more negative events than positive ones?

It really does come down to your perceptions of things.

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.

The sins of the world make the planet groan. Because we live on this world, we get caught up in it whether we want to or not. Something I realized long ago, if you're 100% full of negative, then you have no room for the positive. Yes, it's hard when things keep going bad. I have a tough time with it. Start with being happy with the little things that go right and try to focus on those.

In light of moda's post, it might also help you to keep a journal of joy.
Write down all the things that do go right, and refer to it when you start feeling down again.

Here is just an example of how I deal with an undesirable thought: I'm pedaling my bicycle uphill. It's very tiring just standing on the pedals which only moves the bike about a foot forward with each push. So rather than focus on my uncomfortable effort, I look around. Off to my left is a beautiful lake. A light wind is blowing causing small ripples on the lakes surface. I can hear the birds chirping close by. I look to the sky and see lots of white billowing clouds. It is a very serene and peaceful setting. That's when I notice I've reached the top of the hill.

I do this frequently throughout the day when confronted with the undesirable. Just change the channel. It has become a habit for me.

I might do that. Thanks.

I have to admit I did something similar by walking in the woods and finding beauty, but that's in the winter. Right now, I get eaten alive by mosquitoes and it's hot and humid, so Winter is more of a happy time for me. Stuck inside in the summer. Rainy season also started up late, so every evening after dinner, it's raining.

Coping with loss - I've managed to start feeling better, then broke down crying yesterday, but the kittens and mama kitty cheered me up.
I focus on them as much as possible. (The older cats like to be on the patio or outside, so they aren't always around).

I'm still waiting for a happy event, though. Good news maybe? A surprise? That would be nice.

I used to say "The thoughts you think, make you the person you are."

I used to take a 20 minute sleep during lunch break. I noticed I would always wake up refreshed. It's like flushing all the stress thoughts down the drain.

And don't forget this old one: "Out of sight, out of mind!"

You lost your furry little friend. It's ok to grieve that.

This is why the entertainment industry is getting so big. People trying to get away from the negativity in the world. I have to use "distraction therapy" when I have a bad health day. If I focus on it too much, it eats me alive inside.

Yes, that's what entertainment is. It's why it ticks me off when they put politics in something for no reason whatsoever.
