No, it is a feeling.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no…

it’s more then a feeling.

Would you mind if I gave you one my long drawn out and analytical responses? Are you willing to read it?

It might be a choice, but if you’re in a danger situation, or in an unpleasant one, I doubt you’ll be happy…

I mean:
Kidnap
Meal with her FATHER (lol)
Broken leg
You fart..in front of everybody lol

But as a feeling, as pleasure, it’s feedback that you did something good like fed yourself or exercised right or were accepted by powerful people. I’ve heard of people born without the ability to feel pain and they generally lose limbs and get into accidents until they die.

Mmmm…

Yeah kinda…but there are times we can’t control ourselves like that…

And it’s more like…it’s convenient to be happy always?

I think no…but maybe that’s why I’m sad? Or maybe you think it is a choice because you were born with happy DNA, a more upbeat personality, predisposed to feel happy.

If it was just a choice I would feel happy. I do not want to be miserable!

Philosophisizing is a choice. Or you can follow simple how-to instructions: http://www.ehow.com/how_2054811_choos…

Michael, did those steps to happiness make you feel happy? How come when I read them I felt annoyed?

I didn’t read it, I just trusted the title. Pursuing happiness is not a big concern of mine.

Okay, to be honest I just skimmed it. But it annoyed me non-the-less. I would love to feel happy. You’re already there?

I fall into happiness, like just now when Kemmy spoke to me, and other days when Red Sky spoke to me (do you know those people? they may be happiness-inducers), and sometimes I laugh so hard because I think some utterly ridiculously funny things, but it’s sort of a distraction … I’m not looking to be happy. So my idea that happiness guides choices rather than being a choice isn’t always true, but sometimes it is.

I would like to fall into happiness. That sounds nice.

There is a http://heaven.com and a http://hell.com if you want to go ask someone directly.

ignore that…. it was for dani’s heaven and hell post.

It is a very good question and I am asking myself lately a lot. I am not happy right now. So many things are going on in my life that makes me unhappy and unsatisfied at the same time. But sometimes I think that I choose to be unhappy and passive and all this sh… (Excuse my language) I don’t know why? Maybe my goals and expectations have been set too high or I am genetically fragile and fall into depression and unhappiness easily. My Mom is a very worried and anxious person and I think I am growing to become her eventually.
