Just Curious where you are on the happiness scale.
Let's say 1 being aweful, looking for a high bridge.
And 10 being..I LOVE MY LIFE LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!
Note: If you are very happy in your life...would you share with everyone what you have learned?
Someone said in my last question that happiness isn't a destination it's the journey..I sooo agree with that!
Also is there something to be said for the way we treat each other???? Does that bring happiness rather than a negative slam on someone?<---your thoughts?

I would say I'm a 4. I have a good life by anyone's standards -- financially stable, two lovely children, friends, a husband that cares about me, a great house. My issue is that I feel lost and lonely. I'm not in love with my husbancd (I love him like family) and I have been in love with a a boy I met 18 years ago all these years. So I also feel like I'm a crazy person ;-) because the rational part of me says my feelings are ridiculous though my heart knows that it is spoken for no matter what I have done to try and move on (including marrying someone else).
I do think that treating others kindly helps both them and you. We should all try to be gentle with one another though we are human and that is hard sometimes.

I'd have to say at least a 9, even though I have some pretty big challenges in my life right now. However, I also believe that there IS a gauge we can use to determine our own happiness - and that is to look around us at what others might be struggling with. I have a very dear friend who has just today made the decision to "pull the plug" on her two-month old son. He was born with two club feet, a club hand, and has never breathed on his own. The doctors have finally come up with a diagnosis of a degenerative muscle disease which will never get better, so they're going to let him die peacefully and try to pick up the pieces of their lives. They have two other little boys, and know that these boys deserve their attention, as well. So - how serious do my problems seem when I consider hers? Very puny, indeed - and it gives me the perspective that my own happiness is really quite good. Also, as I've gotten older (61), I've gotten a lot more accepting of myself and a lot bolder about expressing myself. I'm genuinely comfortable with my own skin, and it's a very empowering feeling.

I am a five on the scale, right in the middle.
Its not just whether I am happy with love, but life is another question.
Problems with where I live, transportation, work, money, these always bring me down.
I know I am not alone, but the difference is that love factor.
I am a loner, and I prefer to be that way. The only way I have the things I have now is being with this special someone, and I fully trust her, but still I feel dark inside. I am unhappy.
I won't kill her, but I feel like somethings that we 'dubtail' on, I'd prefer to be by myself on.
Its just the way I think, my character, I prefer to take the loss and learn from it, break my arm and heal that way it will become stronger. And have scars to show off.
I am not use to it. I don't think this best fits what you were expecting for an answer, but its what I got.

I'd give myself an 8
Despite the fact that I'm in university and totally drowning under the pressure, I'm happy because I don't focus on myself as much as I do on others, perspective is huge. Every week I help out with inner city kids, and somehow my workload isn't as crucial, because I can still go home and eat food, and sleep in a warm bed. Something that I take for granted. The life I'm living is a privilege not a burden.

Unfortunately, I'd have to say I am about a 5 on your happiness scale. I think that happiness is self defined, there is no Real happiness scale in the world for anyone to measure themself against. What may be Complete happiness to one person, may not even be considered happiness to another. It's what we make it for ourself.
I agree with that --happiness isn't a destination it's the journey. Very True.
I think that treating others definitely has an impact on the way we feel, yes in relation to our own happiness, but not necessarily. I think it's situation specific and although it may not affect our happiness directly, it affects Us, as people in other ways we may not even be aware of.

Right now I am at 4 as I hate the job that I have and I signed a 4yr contract and I have 3yrs left, I will honor my contract.........
I play the Polly Anna game it is called the glad game-find one thing a day to be glad about.
I personally feel that if you're rude and mean to people then you are not very happy within yourself and misery likes company.
Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust. Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give.

Here's food for thought.
The only way one can gauge whether they have happiness is to weigh it against any unhappiness they have.
So, someone cannot be exclusively happy.

Spiritually conversing, i think of we are all spiritually conversing as quickly as we spiritually talk. except of direction, we are spiritually spiritually questioning conversing. Then they style of go one yet another out. you eventually finally end up a place comparable to Limbo. some call it The White Void. some call it Ponderosa. Spiritually conversing, of direction.
