There are some (many) circumstances that are saddening no matter how you perceive them...unless your deluded.

I am happy. I learned to make myself happy because we are truly the ones in charge of our vessels. I mourn for the losses of today and other tragedies, but that also makes me grateful for what I do have.

These are my sentiments exactly. There is a quote that says "people are about as happy as they make their minds up to be" and I believe that is true. It is all about what we say to ourselves in our heads.

Tonight, no one that isn't a parent in Conneticut suffering a horrible loss has a reason to be unhappy. We have so much by comparison.

Re: How many of you are truly happy? It's a simple question!
I am not sick.

I am not in pain.

I am not a mental slave to any particular belief or ideology.

I don't believe in absolutes.

I don't believe in good or evil.

I believe I am alive and well.

I believe the human race is evolving in fascinating ways.

I believe this moment will never come again.


Yes I'm happy.

As hard as it may be to believe if I passed away tomorrow...I am happy for what I had. I am happy for who I knew. I am happy for a chance. I am happy for have known. I am happy for family. I am happy for you. I AM HAPPY FOR ME!

I don't get this line of thinking..and never will..


Even though my child is safe in his bed and I am "GREATFUL" for it, I can't help but "FEEL" for those parents and that feeling is an immense sadness that makes my bones shake.


How some people can look at other's problems, and losses and make themselves happy out of it...again..I just don't get it.

I'm sure it's just a fault of mine.

Absolutely not!! Thankfullness is not a crime! It should be sent as homage to those that were not given a chance. Live your life to the fullest...for yourselves...for others!!

I am pleased with my conscious growth/development in this lifetime thus far. I am not pleased with the state of affairs and circumstances of our environment that we find ourselves with.

Difficult question to answer. 'Happy' is a very loosely defined term.

We may or may not approach a time of end; new biginning; change; destuction; emptiness; fullness... no matter what happens, it is a matter of perspective. I hope everyone is full of warmth, comfort, and happiness. I'm happy...and I only wish that for everyone else!

Goodnight all and Happy Holidays!

Congratulations!! we have 3 so far...anyone else brave enough to admit they're truly happy?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14301880


People are only temporarily happy. Let's be honest! Even after you achieve what you thought would make you happy, you're truly not happy. I don't want to sound all down and out but it's the truth. I came to realize this a few years ago. I'm in my 30's and I really started to question why I'm here and what is "this life" really about?

I found the reason. It's because we don't belong here. Our true identity is our soul. This body is the temporary house for it. We are prisoners here, space/time. BECAUSE WE SINNED AND WENT AGAINST OUR GOD IN HEAVEN. Nothing else makes sense. It's by God's grace that we are allowed to go BACK to heaven. But only through His blood. Which is NOT communion. BUT THE HOLY SUPPER, in other words, PASSOVER!It has an APPOINTED TIME peeps. Jesus drank wine and broke bread many times. He never once said, "this is my body, this is my blood". It was only on the appointed night of the PASSOVER. That's why the bible says, Jesus is our PASSOVER lamb. I'll provide scriptures below. Please LOOK AT THEM. This is our chance to be forgiven and wake up. Before Judgment Day comes. Because it's coming, soon.

Here's some scriptures if you want. Please check out the websites below and study yourself! There's sermons, etc. The truth you have been waiting for is here! Send me a message in my inbox if you have questions. only serious people please. I can study with someone over the phone and we can go from there. But I can't keep up with this threads. So forgive me if you reply and i don't get it. that is why you must send me a personal message.

Ma 26:17-19 Ma 26:26-28
Lu 22:7-9, 14-15, 19-20
1 Co 5:7-8 (Paul told the Gentiles the keep the PASSOVER, even after Jesus was gone) because Passover is a LASTING ORDINANCE. ONLY WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE, BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER LAMB.
Ex 12:14 “This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance"

I think lasting means forever! What do you think? That's why Jesus kept it and told us to do the same. That's why even 30 plus years after Jesus resurrected Apostle Paul told the Corinthians to keep the PASSOVER of the NEW COVENANT. 1 CO 5:7-8 He urged them to keep it because Jesus said, John 6:53-54,Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Some people say, yeah he was telling the Jews...NO the Corinthians at the time were the GENTILES. Because it doesn't matter whether you are jew or gentile anymore. Understand? The PAssover was abolished by the COuncil of Nicea in 325 AD because the prophecy said that after Jesus would come and do His work, Satan would destroy it. ANd lead people astray. that's happened! Dan 7:25

Also bible prophecy about the restoration of the Passover, (the only feast of God's to contain wine)

Isaiah 25:6-9 It says God will bring AGED wine, which swallows up death forever. What wine has promise to give eternal life??? ONLY PASSOVER WINE! :) The Passover of the NEW COVENANT has truly been aged, people have not kept it like Jesus and the disciples did for over 1600 years. The Passover has an appointed time. Read EXodus CH 12, Lev 23

1 Pe 2:11 KJV says we are pilgrims.... (aliens and strangers on this earth)

Psalms 102:19-20

“The Lord looked down from his sanctuary on high,

from heaven he viewed the earth,

to hear the groans of the prisoners

and release those condemned to death.”

Romans 6:23, the wages of sin is death.

That's how bad our sin was in the kingdom of heaven, that we deserved death. However, our God Elohim Love us so much that we have a second chance! Please pay attention, and wake up now so that you can return!!!

Remember Satan leads the whole world astray. Most are under his control. That's why the bible says a few will be saved. I hope you are the few, I hope I am the few! I believe this is the truth!!

Please check out!!

Thank you for reading. God Bless You all and Good Luck to you all.

Remember to keep an open mind and study the prophecies before you reject the truth. Don't repeat the mistake the Jews did 2000 years ago. But be like the Bereans which the bible noted as noble because they looked into the scriptures to see if what the Apostles were saying was true...

Acts 17:11-12
Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

In the last days the truth is revealed and so are the mysteries of God!!

Revelation 10:7
But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets"

Whoa!!! not what I meant at all! The answers are within and the answers are not the same for every person. That is OK. what is right for me may not be right for someone else. Does that make one more right than the other?..absolutely not!!! Our problems lie within judgement! We all have different perspectives on life based on how we lived, grew up, etc. Our own happiness is based on this perspective. There is no real right or wrong. Only degrees of acceptance.

I am happy most days & I don't need to take anything to achieve that. I have learnt to appreciate the little things in life each day in order to push out the many challenges in my life.

Re: How many of you are truly happy? It's a simple question!
I've given this some thought over the years. As far back as I can remember I have been happy. I find the happiness all around me. Even when I had very bad moments in hospitals etc. I was still happy. I always knew I would roll with the punches.

I have so much inside me to share. I do share. I love to give and hide away. I enjoy being with my husband and he actually enjoys being with me...he said so...I did not have to poke him to say it. Been together for 42 years.

When I am alone I feel good. Even when the hip is aching a bit I still feel good. I am lucky too. I just feel lucky, good and happy. I share it when I can. I like my self and I share myself. If I could give anything to anybody it would be my happiness. dance

I actually think it (happiness) is entirely chemical. Look at someone--anyone--who gets an hour of exercise a day. They are rarely depressed or sad. It's just the simple release of endorphins. It's chemical.

Yep, I am happy, well I am until some religious zealot enters my space and tells me that I shouldn't be and that I will be made to pay for it.
