Quote:
Deathby69 said: “For what prevents us from saying that the happy life is to have a mind that is free, lofty, fearless and steadfast - a mind that is placed beyond the reach of fear, beyond the reach of desire, that counts virtue the only good, baseness the only evil, and all else but a worthless mass of things, which come and go without increasing or diminishing the highest good, and neither subtract any part from the happy life nor add any part to it? A man thus grounded must, whether he wills or not, necessarily be attended by constant cheerfulness and a joy that is deep and issues from deep within, since he finds delight in his own resources, and desires no joys greater than his inner joys.” ― Seneca, The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca: Essays and Letters
"For what prevents us from saying" the nature of reality, the mentality described above is an artificial one, the kind of fundamentalist viewpoing I expect from the ranks of repressed religious people, fanatics and the emotionally bankrupt.

Sounds like you are well down the path of a happy life, friend!
Ideals exist for a reason. Not to be obsessively adhered to but as ideals. You know, something to strive for. Or, lean into as the case may be.

A happy life to me is:
- Regular sex - Not worrying about prices when doing groceries - Have a passionate hooby - Chase a dream - Have a solid foundation - Own assets that will bring profits - Be on good terms with family - Do the work you love - Have friends if you're into that shit.
I would be happy.

A happy life to me is one that is a loooooong term mild high. Like hiking outdoors on a nice day, or your first kiss. Some instances are short lived while others are longer lasting.
Its more of a gradual, long burning thing a 5 hour euphoria bliss session.
With humans, we are easily bored so mixing it up helps us stay happy.

happiness for me = a fulfilling job, a dog and cat, a loyal wife who exercises daily, a house with a big private backyard, access to weed and shrooms

This is true.
Suffering lives very near the heart of our consciousness. Suffering is unavoidable.
We are but limited beings cast upon the tide of infinite chaos.
Happiness is temporary. Suffering will last until we are all dead.
Happiness can alleviate suffering but not completely. We are always susceptible to heart-wrenching pain, and it will come to all of us if it hasn't yet.
The goal is to build a foundation within yourself and without that can withstand it. And to do that, you need really strong materials.
This is probably why organized religions are so appealing. Because they provide that. Or propose to anyway. Funerals are always the domain of the holy.
Anyway, the materials are inside us. But we must discover them. Love is the key. And love and family and culture are rooted in good cenent..
Just remember, compassion, especially piteous compassion, is a fucking rat on the back of those held back, unless they are truly incapable. And even then, I imagine it is bothersome. Probably moreso.
It only serves to undermine their own agency. And that can be equated to robbery of the sacred.
Agency, like love, must be realized by each individual if he / they are to attain peace and harmony with every dimension of life.
Those dimensions being social, cultural, and procreational.

I'm not sure about what exactly would mean a happy life, but I know when I have my best days they consist of simple things that keep me smiling
What comes to mind is to speak with my mother and father on the phone, to enjoy time spent with my fiancee, and the last three and half months its been to hold my daughter in my arms as she giggles and smiles herself to sleep
If I can combine those things on any day, THATS what a happy day in my life is

How much of a place does hedonism hold in true happiness? Is a certain degree of selfishness required to be satisfied?

The life of a free range dog with open land and a loving human family is probably one of the happiest lives I can imagine. People are suceptibe to extended saddness for petty reasons, but most happy dogs can get pissed on and kicked out of the way with a shoe and it'll still be the happiest thing alive

Hedonism is empty. There is no value there.
Selfishness will not lead to satisfaction of any real value.
Sacrifice is required.
