This is the result of watching people for three hours and then
|
|
answering the question: are we were happy?
|
|
|
|
Feel free to plagiarize and what not.

|
The world is full of many different emotions: happiness,
|
|
sadness, anger, hate, hurt, love, rage, envy, et cetera. People
|
|
experience all these different emotions throughout their life, but
|
|
humans are not, and cannot be completely happy, especially for a
|
|
long period of time. Many plagues affect people, yet ultimately it
|
|
is people, the affected and the affector, who are the source of
|
|
unhappiness.
|
|
|
|
One of the things that one would notice after watching people
|
|
for some time is that they are very concerned with their appearance.
|
|
These are people who don't and can't accept themselves and try to
|
|
change themselves by use of make-up. This is a result of being unhappy
|
|
. Many people live the consumer life, to make money then to spend it
|
|
on useless crap. Some buy expensive clothes to try and make their
|
|
appearance desirable to others. Sometimes people do this to make
|
|
themselves look important, maybe because they suffer from low
|
|
self-esteem. They may do it to impress others. People will change
|
|
appearance to fit the standards of other people, so they can fit in.
|
|
They can't be happy if they're constantly worrying about all this
|
|
meaningless shit. This is considered meaningless, since the main goal
|
|
in life should be happiness and cheerfulness; life is so short
|
|
anyways. This method of materialistic values may make some people
|
|
happy, but it can't be denied that it is a false happiness. People
|
|
can become victims of jealousy and thus be unhappy once again and strive to
|
|
be better then the origin of their distress. Humans are easily fooled.
|
|
|
|
People can be paranoid. They can be naturally suspicious of
|
|
the motives of others. Thus they close themselves off to newcomers
|
|
automatically. They seem shy, untrusting to save themselves from being
|
|
screwed over. Perhaps they've been backstabbed before, or a friend
|
|
has suffered a horrible experience. Or they fear the stories given by
|
|
the news, which speaks of rape, murder, and robberies. People don't
|
|
want to take part in that and therefore they don't trust a smile
|
|
thrown by a stranger, not matter how good that stranger's intentions
|
|
could be. This keeps people from being happy, this constant state of
|
|
paranoia. They can't trust. This lack of trust makes people seem weak
|
|
and vulnerable. It is a safety precaution, but the emotions that it
|
|
causes people to experience keeps them from being happy as they are
|
|
two opposite emotions. They are opposite, in the sense that, to be
|
|
cautious you can be trusting, but to be happy you should be able to
|
|
freely trust.
|
|
|
|
People suffer from several other insecurities, yet some have
|
|
the habit of dragging their insecurities onto others. This causes more
|
|
people to become unhappy. In essence, it is other people who create
|
|
unhappiness. Other people have the ability to induce rage, hate,
|
|
sadness, jealousy, pain, fear, et cetera. This can spread to others
|
|
as well. The only cure is time and even though things get better,
|
|
even for a small period of time, it all gets shot to Hell, once again.
|
|
It's an endless cycle. Everyone can't be happy with other people
|
|
spreading their emotions like a fountain of disease, destroying more
|
|
happy moods. It's all the people and always the people.
|
|
|
|
Emotions are inescapable. They are like this because they
|
|
are natural. Having emotion is a natural function. One can deny an
|
|
emotion, but that still doesn't mean they don't have that feeling.
|
|
It is natural for people to be happy at one moment, sad another. If
|
|
there was no sadness or hurt, one could never fully experience and
|
|
praise the glory of being happy. One could never tell the difference
|
|
between one and the other without having experienced an opposite
|
|
emotion. It's absurd to strive to be absolutely happy as that will
|
|
never work out. One usually needs another person to gain happiness
|
|
and well, perhaps that one person who gives you such joy were to die.
|
|
That one person would then feel another emotion such as sadness for
|
|
the loss of a good friend. It goes on and on. It's a plan that works
|
|
out perfectly though. One should not just let the worst get a hold of
|
|
them. Of course, one should strive to be happy at all times. But let
|
|
the bad times flow and accept it.
|
|
|
|
There is no way for people to be completely happy twenty-four
|
|
hours a day, seven days a week. People are there to both keep one from
|
|
happiness and to give happiness. There's always something there that
|
|
makes a happy moment change, you can't escape it, that's how life
|
|
works.
