Are you happy? 8

My friend's wife is kind of a bitch. Really controlling, jealous, wants to go to church, wont allow their child at his parents house because they smoke weed, the whole shebang. Shes miserable 24/7. I want to ask her "whats the point of living so righteously if youre so god damn miserable?"
I see this a lot on facebook too. Everybody has such a strong opinion on what's right and what's wrong, how to live, etc..and theyre all fucking miserable. Its like a salesman at your door talking about his amazing shoe cleaning product and his shoes are fucking stained and falling apart.
Are you happy?

I know what you mean, there's a lot of that in the pub as well. Everywhere I guess.
I'm happier than I was yesterday, generally pretty excited about life.

Of course not. Everything is wrong and people just let it happen. The only way to fix it is to come together and adopt the one for all and all for one mentality.

Wow.
My GF has this annoying trend lately where she is just negative about every little thing. Like every opinion is meant to diss the other person or talk negative about it. I told her to stop it, cause it makes me unhappy and brings down my happiness.
Just realized today it might be tied to her not getting enough sleep.
And it might be tied to her cig smoking. I wish i could wish her cig addiction away 
For me, Im definitely pretty happy. Got a nice house to live in, a GF who is a joy to be around most the time, nice job that pays way (very important), the future is looking good right now.
Some days kinda suck, other days are neutral, but it aint too bad. Im finally in a good place.

Good question/thread 
For me personally, I'm very happy, but I imagine that's not true for a lot of people. I have my dream job, and I have everything I want out of life. There's nothing dragging me down. I'm really lucky that I lead such a nice life currently. I wasn't always this lucky, but man things are great nowadays.

I hear you Walrus. Its a task sometimes for me to pass on the facebook arguments and such that arise on my FB feed, without trolling their squabbles and such, but I do, usually... I feel like people complain about Dems/Republicans, etc... because they WANT something to be upset about, its like a way to vent the frustration that they hide on a daily basis or something. We live in such a great country, there is almost no reason to be sad, ever.
That being said, I feel truly happy. Theres moments of frustration, but I let them out, and continue with my life. Live in a great area, have a great house, family, friends, hobbies, am not bankrupt. Life is fucking good, and I know how to enjoy what Ive been blessed with.

We live in a society that's largely based around desire and it intrinsically leads to the idealistic values that we see placed on their lives and what not. "my life isn't good unless i'm living a certain way because that was what i was taught growing up" plain and simple, and they get strung up on what they think their life should be instead of living it. in short, desire creates suffering.
There's an Ott song that comes to mind, sampling from excerpts from Alan Watts.
Quote:
and because we simply cheated our self the whole way down the line, we saw our life by an allegy as a journey with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing, and we were supposed to sing, and dance, while the music were being played.

Every 4 years. Its the same rhetoric over and over again.

And this concept is not unique to our culture/society. Its worldwide. It gets to the point where people will kill for it.
Im with nooneman and logical. Im generally happy and easy going. I also steer clear of most nonsense. Maybe theres a correlation.

sure, the concept that "desire leads to suffering" is basically the second truth in Buddhism, which can be applied to anyone's life

I absolutely agree with all of that. Also that's a really great quote.
I think people do tend to cheat themselves by thinking they're going to be rock stars and never seeing the beautiful life in front of them, only seeing the things they don't have.
If we didn't want nice houses and good cars and lots of money we'd be fine without those things.

I'm not even close to happy right now. I never see my kid, I never get to do things, I'm under a good bit of debt, I hate the place I live and a bunch more shit sucks in my life.
But it's all just motivation to do better.
