ha!!! I laugh at that notion.
and yet people tell me that I'm too happy, and I'm like people aren't happy enough.
same thing with being friendly, I'm "too friendly" when really, people aren't friendly enough.
heh, is it wrong for me to smile at people I don't even know? I just smile at people, and once in a while, I'll get a smile back.
life is beautiful people, let's share our joy with others.
so here's one for you guys if your feeling down!!!
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Life is what you make of it.
People who are angry live life angry. People who are stuck live life stuck. People who are depressed live life depressed.
That is why, to endure in negative energies, and pesimistic views, is completely derogatory (sp?), It just doesnt make sense. (You have the ability to create your own reality, It all lies in the individual!)
Why not wake up in the morning with a smile singing so infantly : "Good Morning Starshine! The earth says hello! You twinkle above us, we twinkle below...Good morning...."
Lose the EGO and bring the SMILES! Seduce a stranger... Pass out photocopied paintings of daily inspiration... Wave...
Why live life in any other direction besides happy!?
Everything around you is wonderful. Ignore the concrete jungle and appreciate the forests, beaches, mountains, hills, animals, and ideas alike!
These are the times of our lives! Everyday! Every breathing moment!
And one more thing...
LOVIN' YOU SISTERS! LOVIN' YOU BROTHERS! WEEEEEEEEE LOVEEEEEEE YOUUUUUU!!!

A beauty as prevelent as the fire inside. To release these energies is pure ecstacy, to deveop these gifts is sacred. The vocality, so pure as can be, shying away from herself, lies within me. For the underlying serenitity, this is what I live for. I plea for harmony, and nothing more. Music equals love. Creation of love leads to the procreativity of the World, and it's spirals and puddles prevailing.

many of us are unhappy because we are trying to find enough security, sex, pleasant sensations, ego rushes, prestige, money, power and status. this struggle yields lives of constant resentment, worry, suspicion, anger, jealousy, shyness, and fear. most people tell themselves tjeu must do to be happy ends up yielding more frustration than joy. the more sucessful a person is in making money, collective skills and possessions, aquring knowledge and degrees, and achieving positions of status, power, and prestige, the less loving peaceful, and contented they may find themselves.
And yet it is not these things in and of themselves that create an unhappy life, it is the internal mental feeling about the desires for them that minute by minute keeps one from enjoying life 99% of the time. Addictions (or emotional backed demands) bring fear of non-fullfillment; jealousy that someone may steal our source of fullfillment, anger when someone twarts us; cynicism if constantly undersupplied; paranoia if constantly threatened; boredom if we're making no progress towards statisfying our addictions (emotional backed demands); worry if we can't see the steady supply; anxiety if we;re worried about being worried; and unhappiness when the outside world does not supply is with whatever we are addicted to. since commons snese tells us that the way things go in life is that you win some and you lose some, an addicted person has no chance of living a happy life over 90% of the time( ie being loving, peaceful, wise and effective.) And the addictive programming is not necessary to find and enjoy that which we prefer in life.
we will be ready for this type of growth into a constant supply of happiness when you realize the utter futility of trying to live a beautiful life by your efforts to rearrange or change the world of people and things outside of you to fit your emotional backed demands. we will find time and again, that you have to rearrange your own personal responses to life situations...things that we learned in our childhood that was nessary so we survive in our younger years.
as we start growing, we will find that we have always had enough to be happy. it is the patters in our heads that make us unhappy, although we tend to blame the pole and conditions outside of us for our unhappiness.
this does not require you to detach yourself from your present life. serenity can be used most efficiently if we stay with our current business and personal life. once we understand this system thoroughly, you won't need a teacher. our lives will be the best teacher for we will discover that we are always putting ourselves in learning situtions that are ideal for growth. the programming that we must changew has an unerring way of putting us into life situations that can make us aware of the exact inner work we need to do. this will add to the enjoyment of life all around.
think of all the energy we put now into the up and down hour by hour coping with our feelings will contiually trying to rearrange the people and situations in our lives so that we can be loving, effective, and happy. and yet year by year our quest may be as elusive as ever. since almost everyone around us has trouble in boming happy 95% of the time, we may have lowered our standards and decided that continuous happiness is probably not realistic. let's get rid of this notion and up our standards, after all, we are worth it!
Most of us assume that our desires (backed up by emotional feelings) are true guides to doing the things that will make us happy. but yet no one has yet to find happiness by using emotional backed demands as guides. flashes of pleasure...sure, happiness...no.
our wants and desires are so seductive...they are thought of as needs that must be satisfied so we can be happy at last. we tell ourselves "if I can jsut become president of this compnay, or if I jsut make this much money, I will be happy." It is fine to aquire these positions, and to aquire money, but it may be misleading to expect it to bring us peace, love and happiness. "if only..." so we search for these external situations, we trust in them, but we all know life doesn't go our way half of the time.
our negative emotions are a misleading result of an extensive pattern of scars we have experienced. again, uhhappines through repetition. we haven't had the chance yet to understand and love on a continuous basis..so we think it's not possible. it is how we have dealt with emotions that lead us to percieve differences that make us uptight, instead of similarities that enable us to understand and love. we percive other people and situations as threats when we rely on the external world and situations for our happiness. we respond with adrenaline, faster heartbeat, increase in blood sugar, and other jungle survival responses that prepare us for fight or flight.
think about some of the threatening situations you have felt in the last day or two. are you going to lose your job? is the person for whom you feel the most love paying attention to somone else than you? do you have unpaid bills that you cannot take care of? now these problems euther have solutions or they don't. either you can do something about them now, or you can't. if you can do something about it, then do it, even if it's jsut a first step. don't dwell on the situation, yes think about it, but not dwell, this doesn't lead to getting th problem fixed. if you are in the process of fixing it, but it'll take some time, stop dwelling while you're doing it. if you are doing what you can, then feeling negative about it doesn't help, it just hurts your mind, the body, and possibly the situation. you energy will be drained when you are worried or axious about a problem. do what you can do, but don't be addicted to the results or else you will creat more worry. if you can't do anything about it right now, then why make yourself uncomfartable about it, save that energy for when you CAN do something about it. these negative emotions in non life threatening situations jsut lowers insight and effectiveness of our actions.
if you do not hassel yourself emotionally when the outside world doesn't fit your demads (as it often does) you will be much more joyous, and really appreciate each moment of you life. we need to learn to flow with the people and things around us, because after all, we are all different, and no one is going to conform jsut for you. since we are conscious beings, the only thing we need to find happiness in life is to perceive clealy who we are, and what exactly are the real conditions.
LIVE LOVE LIFE! just some S&P for you pubbers

Damn, that was a lot to read. But basically I'm the same way kaiowas. I'm almost always happy and smiling. But when I'm around other people, they think it's wierd. People are always putting up fronts or creating drama. I say fuck that. I'll create drama here and there just to sate some egos (especially the ladies who crave it), but I'm happiest when everyone's smiling and laughing and having a good time. That's how life should be 24/7!

-kaiowas, very well said. You know, I really appreciate your responses on the threads we share interest in. Thanks for constantly spreading love, and you are a big motivation in S&P! Always keeping me interested, at least
If you were near me, I would share with you my most happy moment hug with you...!
"You got to walk your own road, keep your eyes wide open, and don't wear a frown. Hey brothers, watch your step, cause we don't know where we are going yet!"
Maybe one day we will fall into eachothers lives, destined. Not all who wander are lost...
I love it when my live crosses paths with others, and I apreciate it every moment. Every day. You cannot take anything for granted!
Oh, and remember, Lovin' you brother

Yay for happy smiley people! I love you all! I am a very friendly and loving person, and I love people, although I'm not always happy....
Kaiowas, you are a shining star....thanks for making this thread- it's the first thing I clicked on today.
We are all born with different temperaments....it sounds as if you are sanguine. There is also melancholic, choleric and phlegmatic. I am going to make a thread about them.

I always like smiling and making faces at babies they always seem to dig me. I catch them looking at me, all the time just stairing so I cant help but wave at them.
Some times the parrents look at me like why is this dude stairing at my kid. I am just like wo and get going on my way.
