happiness as a way of life - 04-04-2005, 04:32 PM

I believe happiness is a way of life, the authentic happiness would be to find a meaning for our own lives. So, in achieving that meaning and following what we believe is true, we can find sort of enjoyment. For example, i like doing mathematics and i´m sure that this would brind the most happiness to my life. Though sometimes i have to make a real effort to keep going, it is worth it, ´cause when a result comes, i go to a state of happiness that is beyond some other people may attain at a certain point in their lives.

And i also believe that love is energy.

Cheers

Can you explain what you mean when you say that you also believe that love is energy?

I don't think your "love is energy" is the same as Antonio's one.

I also beleive that love is relative (each of us has a different way of getting happiness) and that happiness is to follow what we beleive is true and correct.

In a certain way, love is energy, as everything may be thinked of in this way. I would put it in terms of entropy. Everything tends to its state of minimal energy. The same happens with love, that´s why it is so difficult sometimes and hard to keep going with. And i´m not talking about love for a man or a woman. I talk about the love one has for one is doing. In my case, mathematics. I love it, but it is difficult to keep the relationship...


hope to be understood

1) You are understood.

2) All loves are the same, but it appears in many different ways.

I get it, but to create isn't needed for happiness. Some people are happy destroing things. Like Osama Bin Ladden was and is for the 11S.

Dont you think so?

I wrote that it doesn't seem very logical becuase I thought you ment happiness is to create in the sence of happiness creates. Not in the form of creating gives happiness.

By the way, I would also be happy till death if I create the correct TOE.

The terrorists definitely are not happy. They are angry about things they cannot understand and they think two wrongs can make a right.

True and True is True
True and False is False
False and False is False
True or False is True
False or False is False
True or True is True

good tru-false progresion. But, what is the difference between being happy and thinking that you are happy? none. Becuase most people HAVE experienced happiness then they can pèrrfectly re-create it in their minds. So there is actually no difference between them being happy and thinkingt hey are. It's like people who think they are more clever than the rest, there is nothing that makes the differnece from being clver, at least from their pint of view.

I won't be happy if i know i have to hide from the police. Happiness means freedom, physically as well as mentally.
