is it the pursuit that matters? Here is the etymology of the word happy.

happy (adj.) Look up happy at Dictionary.com
    late 14c., "lucky, favored by fortune, prosperous;" of events, "turning out well," from hap (n.) "chance, fortune" + -y (2). Sense of "very glad" first recorded late 14c. Ousted Old English eadig (from ead "wealth, riches") and gesælig, which has become silly. Meaning "greatly pleased and content" is from 1520s. Old English bliðe "happy" survives as blithe. From Greek to Irish, a great majority of the European words for "happy" at first meant "lucky." An exception is Welsh, where the word used first meant "wise."

Seems to me that being happy was understood to be basically dependent upon chance, fate, or luck. Why would we then pursue something that is completely removed from our efforts. But then our connotations of happiness are quite different from the denotative version so... fuck it.

I think getting high makes most people happy but it's not a chance that they smoked reefer or snorted something.

My excuse is that I'm an introverted motherfucker, motherfucker... maintaining consistent friendships and "doing stuff" all the time is draining as fuck.. to me..

I NEED my alone time, or I go crazy. Constant social interaction is so draining. Even if it's people I really like. But that's all me.




You have just summed me up.

I hate groups and shit because I just find it unnecessary and stupid bullshit. It's like being in fucking high school again having to deal with cliques and all of the bullshit that go with them. I was originally only friend with one guy, but I found that every time we hung out, it was with this group he was part of, and I just got roped into it. Now I don't like any of them.

See that's what I meant by connotative. I disagree. I think people would call it happiness out of laziness. I would only say that on the basis that the definition implies you can't will happiness onto yourself, with a substance or activity or whatever. If it happens upon you during the course of your pursuit however, well you might associate the activity with it.

Chasing the dragon. All that shit. I'm a technical douche.
