Stop giving a fuck and do what you want.

>want to be happy
>how do I do it
>do whatever you want

But he wants to be happy and doesn't know how to do it. How can he do it if he doesn't know how to do it?

i got an A in PHIL 220 The Philosophy of Happiness. my final term paper got almost an A and it was to prove that money can equal happiness, but only if you have class and taste.

the road to class and taste is complicated, and these factors were only used to prove that money can give you happiness but one key part was a deep proof that it can satisfy maslow's hierarchy of needs. this is the main skeleton:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

i should have a bachelor's in philosophy by this time next year and this was just an early course. i still stand by my reasoning and that this is the most important place to start.

what makes you happy? is there anything? do more of that
or try new stuff... work for free, help other people, go to africa and build s school, I dont know... just try different shit until u find something that fulfills you

in terms of the base needs like shelter, food, heat etc.........then yes money is esential for a lot of that, but in terms of love/esteem/self actualisation ie true path to hapiness....money is only a bonus, most of that stuff is internal

salary for work is only a hygene factor, ie it only matters if its low, but extra money beyond what is expected doesnt bring proportional gains in happiness

I didn't say to "do whatever you want" I said "do what you want". We all know in our hearts what we want in life, what we like, and things we like having. I'm not quoting some obscure motivational poster, he knows what he wants even if he can't admit it, he knows. No matter what it is, there is a way to achieve it. How do I know? Because it exists. Objects, jobs, and achievements that look enormous from the outside are just as achievable as getting a job at walmart. No one was born with those things everyone starts from the same point with nothing. Yes, some are born into luxury but most people do not, yet they still achieve the same thing. Once you stop worrying about what people think and stop worrying about failure, because you will fail no matter what, you can finally start taking steps towards what you want and they will be small baby steps, in this world of instant access people have forgotten good things take time. And hey, who knows you may start down one path only to discover another path that just comes naturally to you and it'll be easy for you. and all you have to do is to not give a fuck and do it.

this may be a stroke of genius. We're all equal and we only do whatever we think is the right thing at the time, all you can do is what feels right

i just want a true support network
ive isolated myself in life so much that i have no true friends................ppl i know well for sure, but not true buddies
that is all i want, but im too old and in a stage of life where its nigh on impossible to do anything about it.................very depressing

work hard, save money, be smart, be kind, be real, be genuine, be true, and true happiness will be achieved.

goddamn dude, you're speaking my language. That kind of thing is a lot easier said than done, but like you said. baby steps. i'm currently working on not taking EVERYONE'S opinion into consideration every time i make a decision, but i've always worried about that kind of thing in the 27 years leading up to now. tough to break such a deeply ingrained habit. but the first step is recognizing it and knowing you want to change it

Start running, set a goal to be able to run 4 miles a day 5 days a week.

stick to it and you'll be amazed at what it'll do for you.

You can never be happy. The globalists want you to believe being happy all the time is "normal". Learn to live without happiness.

excercise is esential
ive been majorly depressed over the last year or so...........an along with that ive basically comfort ate and drunk.............gained over a stone and am in terrible shape

need to change that, but i lack motivation

That is what I believe, rich, poor, beautiful, ugly, white, black, male, female, we're all equally mediocre and no one person can do more than another.

Hello Satan, yes don't let the words of one man swayed you from your goal, but listen to anyone and everyone who gives out advise, wisdom, and criticism. There will always be something to learn from listening. But know the difference between wisdom and ignorance.

You don't need motivation. You need discipline.
It totally sucks at first but you reach a point where running is what you look forward to.
When you're running nothing else matters, just putting one foot in front of the other. Your mood elevates and anxiety lowers.

Just look in the mirror and say, "I'm going to run 4 miles a day 5 days a week." and then run as much as you can the next day. and again the day after. the average of those two is your starting distance (you can tweak it too). then just start running as listen to your body when it comes to upping your weekly or daily mileage.

But the important thing is to remind yourself that there is no excuse to not run. Unless you will actually get hurt (you probably won't be able to run every day starting out).

But i've ran while hung over, after driving all night, in the rain, all of it. No excuses, don't let yourself fall back into the old patters. The old way doesn't work. This way does, just push through and know that pain is weakness leaving the body.

You can and will get better, there are no lost causes.

Research Hellenistic philosophy. Pursue a balanced life, guided by wisdom and reason. Understand and accept that the only thing that is truly under your control is your mind. Do not let your happiness be wrapped up in anything external to yourself. Do not let your emotions have dominion over you, even though you will never be, and never want to be, without them.

Stop masturbating and watching porn
Lift

Just do what you want to do and what you enjoy and don't let haters tell you otherwise. Don't fall into the trap of going after what you're "supposed to do".
Eg:
>No don't get that job, you should get a real job in an office
>No don't live there, you should move to X
>Getting married when you don't want kids
etc.

i have a young family with significant childcare responsibilities since my wife works nights...
not a major excuse per se, but its more difficult than for a carefree young guy with no responsibilities
i used to go to the gym regularly, so i understand discipline, it just becomes part of your day.........just need to get over that first mental hurdle

Then he needs to go and figure out what he wants to do then. I went through the same thing and decided fuck it and traveled through Canada for 2 years. Now I know that I'm not happy living in the city and working an office job. Now I'm saving up to move into the countryside in the mountains and start a better, chilled life there.

...

which is essentially life for 99% of the population

What user said. Always going with "should" just brings depression. Follow "I want to be happy." Look at life, see what doesn't make you happy and get it out of there.

Learn to enjoy the suffering of others. There is plenty of that to go around. If you are wanting to find happiness in this life, then good luck because that is more scarce then water in the desert. At least in adult life.

If you notice, there is a GREAT surge of stupidity online and on the TV. Regardless of whether you want to defend it as "humor" or "comedy", being dumb, saying dumb things, or saying things in a dumb way have become incredibly popular Online and on TV.

That is because you can be too stupid to be sad or unhappy. Stupidity generally has a "happiness" about it. If you notice, intelligent people throughout serious were often very serious. And the dumber a person is the happier they seem to be.

So you can either learn to enjoy the suffering of others and ensure a steady stream of happiness from a never-ending source in this world, or you can find a way to dumb yourself down into a blissful stupor.

The choice is yours.

Ask yourself these questions constantly:

-Is this person making me happy?
If the answer is no, then get rid of them, distance yourself from them.

-Is this job making me happy?
Unless it's a stepping stone towards a better job soon, immediately quit.

-Is my current life situation making me happy?
If the answer is no, devote 100% of your life towards changing things so that you can try something else.

To recap, always only hang out with people that make you happy, minimize interactions with people that don't make you happy, don't force yourself to stick to a shitty job if you can find any alternatives, question the very core of your life and if you're truly happy, if you aren't change your lifestyle radically to try something different.
It's sort of an ongoing journey, you "check" all the things in your life and see what's working and what isn't, it's a trial and error process.
Also whatever you do, never end up like this turd

>i want to be happy.
>how do i do that ?
If you don't know then how don't bother. Just avoid shit that makes you miserable when you can.

Money doesn't make you happy, but a lack of money makes you unhappy.

you're very immature. you've mistaken the heinous act of enjoying the suffering of others with why it's funny.

humor is actually the deviation from the norm. someone suddenly smacking someone unexpectedly can be funny but only based on context.

you have a ways to go. you think you're a sensitive, intelligent person. you're at level 2 of at least 5.

your analysis that ignorance is bliss is useless. your perception may not be that weak, but you need maturity. i promise... you'll figuratively facepalm and want to forget the little bitch who thought they were smart that you currently are and you have no idea how to achieve happiness because all you are is an advanced young adult dealing with childish angst.

explore the ideas of the world.
that's what saved me

oh and lsd

the question of the paper was "prove one way or the other". i proved to a real professor that it could. it was 2756 words and cited:

Aristotle. Nichomachean Ethics I.1-8. 530 B.C.E.
Easterlin, Richard A. Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot? Some Empirical Evidence. 1974.
Horwitz, Steven. Capitalism and the Family. 2007.
Maslow, A. H. A Theory of Human Motivation. 1943.
Mill, John Stuart. What Utilitarianism Is. 1861.
Smith, Adam. Of the Beauty Which the Appearance of Utility Bestows Upon All the Productions of Art, and Of the Extensive Influence of This Species of Beauty. 1759.

Step 1. Never trust a Jew.

Humans aren't wired to be happy. Happy organisms do not adapt and survive as well as worried and anxious organisms

>someone suddenly smacking someone unexpectedly can be funny

You try way to hard to seem intelligent while having such stupid ideas like this one.

>your perception may not be that weak,

Please Einstein, enlighten us as to what a "weak" perception is.

In case you were confused, I wasn't trying to be liked by anyone here.

If you can find pleasure in people drinking bleach or dying due to their own stupidity, then I really do wonder what you are doing here.

If you think that people getting slapped is "funny", then you must think that Nut shots America's Funniest Home Videos are hilarious.

Read Youtube comments and watch TV just to get a taste of the condition of society. Everybody wants to be funny now. Humor is no longer "out of the norm". It is the norm.

Go enjoy seeing people being slapped...idiot. I'll get my joy from seeing people falling prey to Darwinism.

Fucking Summerfags are becoming yearlong pests.
