I hate the world. Crimes, sinners, life challenges, job, no money, no love, etc....I'm tired.....I don't know when was the last time I was happy.

Very simple...stop hating the world. If you have no money get moer. if you have no love then change something.
Basically it's your fault. Why? Because the world does suck in many ways lots of people are indeed happy.
You think happiness should just be there like your limbs but it's not inherent, it's a skill.
Smart people have to work harder to be happy because they recognize more problems with the world...double-edge sword of being smart.
Get to work. Make a plan to be happy. Make more money. Invest more time in creating structures (especally freindships) that have some meaning for you.
When you do all that you'll be too busy to worry about the crap and too addicted to creating personal payoffs. You have to suck it up and get real that you have a victim mentality...bull.

You just have to take one step at a time. When you're faced w/ multiple challenges (as we all are in life) you can't let them get out of control. You have to focus on fixing one problem then move on to the next. It makes everything that much more realistic. Life is never easy - there will always be something going on - but it's how you deal w/ each thing that determines whether you overcome it or not. Think about something you love to do - could be reading, writing, photography, art, skiing, working out - & do it as much as you can. We need to do things that make us happy so that we can relax & put things into perspective. If you are worried about crime what about joining some sort of community program that helps others? Or maybe you could volunteer somewhere. I say, if you feel strongly about something get involved in it - you can end up feeling great that you helped other people & were able to make a difference.

Go rent or buy the movie "The Secret" and realize that you are creating your own unhappiness based upon what you focus on. That's not to say that the same things wouldn't happen to you, but your attitude would be different and there-in is the secret of happiness.
I'd be willing to bet that the very fact that you have a computer at your disposal, you are among the top 1% most privileged people to ever live. Your life is better in almost every way than kings and nobles of just a few hundred years ago. How on earth could anyone be unhappy with all this luxury and wealth all around? Because with all of your survival needs basically met, you have time to sit around and focus on how much your life sucks. If you turned it around and focused on how wonderful your life is you would begin to see how wonderful it really is.

One becomes happy by making others happy. Do something to brighten someone else's day- expecting nothing in return. Also, make a plan to change the things in your life that you want to change. Job, money and career can all be changed as soon as you want it to. Figure out where you want to in "X" amount of time, and layout a plan to achieve it. Even if it seems unachievable- at least you are working toward something and you have a goal. Once you are more satisfied or at least working toward something positive- love will also come. I mean are you attracted to people who sit around depressed by the entire state of the world? Me neither. As far as the state of the world- tonight in your city someone mugged an old lady, but in the same city, someone else helped someone who was sick or sad. Good things are happening around you- find them and stop watching the news!

Start one day at a time, meditate in silence for 10/15 minutes each morning, take a walk in the morning or afternoon whenever possible and also pick something to do a hobby or a goal for a day and make sure to get to do it.
Also don't try to make the whole world to change, start by changing your self, little steps at a time and then your surroundings will change little by little. friends are a good way of support so get them involve and go out and meet new people as well... smile even when you don't feel like it and take a deep breath then look up and walk out on life, you'll see that things will start turning in color...

As you have not mentioned among the things that you hate the pets and the nature, I will, based on my life experience, give you advice to look for peace and love also there.
I know that when one is without money, or job or humiliated by others it is difficult to feel well, but your pets and plants will accept you as you are and will share with you good and bad moments and will wait for you forever.

im really sorry about all that--really. Its bad, i know, and it's bad u have to experience and go thru all that. The only reason u're so frustrated is becaus u wernt built to take on u all those burdens. God made u to enjoy life, not go thru all this. But now that u know theres nuthn much u can do to change everythn about u, do somehn effective. Turn to the One who made u for the solution to ur problems and stress. bcuz u arent alone-- alot of ppl feel like that. dnt look at ppl, or things, look at God thru the eyes of Christ---make Him ur everyhtn. As He calls Himself God, dont u believe He has the answer to everythn? So y has it taken u so long to believe in Him. Talk to me again if i can help with anythn else. God bless.

happiness is not a state u have to achieve but a way u have to live...dun concentrate on being happy...jus be u...do wht makes u feel nice...eat ice cream in the winter ...go skiing...dun let anythin that bothers u bother u...
the opposite of love is not hate..it is indifference. Once u realize that and choose what to be indifferent towards life will become a lot more easier.

well, you have to do something about your life. making changes for the better is the first place to start. you can make your life whatever you want it to be-- within reason. you have to start with the little things. whether it means changing jobs or going back to college... it is never too late to do something about it.
also, happiness is mostly mental and about staying positive about life. for starters, you do need to have goals in mind to be positive about. you will never be happy all the time, but your happiness should outweigh your sadness.
good luck!

to be happy, you have to be a master of meaning..
Everything in the world has been done before, but if you can find a unique positive meaning to something, even if its something mundane like washing the dishes...you will find true happiness.
for example: i may be doing the dishes, i could think that its boring, it sucks, im too lazy to do this...I could think that by doing the dishes, everything will be nice and clean, and when a nice hot young woman comes into here, she would think wow, this dude is so organised, i really wanna have dirty filthy kinky canadian sex with him, if he cleans dishes like that just immagine that kind of mess he could do to me...mmmmm
so yeah, u have to be the master of meaning.
