Is Happiness something all want?

[Lovelife090994]

We all for the most part prefer feeling safe, happy, and loved. But do you think we all want happiness in some form or another? Why do you think happiness is so valued?

i think most everyone wants happiness..........and maybe ice cream!
don't you feel better about yourself and things in general when you're happy?

Well I guess it depends on how you perceive "happiness". It's just a chemical serotonin and dopamine being released. Which produces a lot of false beliefs. We are 100% selfish. But that's not the way to view this world.

To make it simpler its not happiness we are after. It's drug's that you possess inside your head

What a cold description of one of nature's greatest feelings. What you said is right on the chemical level but emotions are more. We feel.

Im not sure if you are serious or not.. I never once said that it isn't amazing bc that would be idiotic those chemicals I spoke of are what you feel during an orgasm. You do understand that the reason there's feeling is from those chemicals. I was simply stating that without the chemicals we wouldn't want to do anything. We wouldn't exist if it weren't for those magnificent compounds.

You were making it sound like emotions weren't real, and that emotions were just chemicals and nothing more, no feeling.

Well...Feeling's are chemicals, everything about our biology traces right down to chemical reactions. Being happy, for example, is down to how much serration has been released. That doesnt mean, however, that feelings are meaningless. Good feelings are literally good for both our physical and mental health, and that is why feeling good is so important and why people strive to feel good

I am happy but if I wasn't I would make myself happy or a friend would cheer me up so yes I do want to be happy.

I think all people do want to feel happy deep down, but a lot of people hold themselves back from achieving that longed for happiness. Some people just seem to live to be unhappy and nothing you say or do ever seems to help, but I doubt that they enjoy being that way (that's probably why they look so miserable all of the time). Most of happiness is a state of mind. Once you can understand that and really wrap your head around the idea you'll find that it's a lot easier to be happy.

Happiness is the elite-animals' power to have a motive for doing anything.

Happiness is probably what everyone wants. If someone doesn't want happiness, then their thoughts must be pretty dark. I think happiness is valued just because it is the feeling that describes positive in itself, it's a feeling that brings warmth, serenity, and other positive feelings along.
