How can you find happiness in an unhappy world?

Question

If there was a depressed world with no happiness, would you ever be able to find happiness again?..

Answer 1

i think that question may be hard to answer until you have experienced that kind of situation. maybe after a while you either get used to it and become numb or you stirve to change what is and excel. personally, i would find happiness anywhere.

Answer 2

Dear you must be very young. In the 70's when free love any way you want it and Flower child's were blossoming all over the land no one cared about rings and things all folks cared about was peace love and happiness. What that bought about were nameless disinherited basters and half never knew their fathers and some not even their mothers. A whole generation of discontentment searching for who they were. Now if folks want to bring those years of unrest back then continue on the way to dooms day. See way back then we did not have easy access to the super drugs just maybe a little pot and for the daring LSD. Still it managed to bring about another generation of fatherless and motherless households. These folks sired the adults of today which are raising the kids of today which seem determined to go to hell in a bread basket1 I would suggest going back to the days when a guy courted a girl they fell in love and went in front of a preacher committed for life as husband and wife, you know for better or worse. At least you would have a pattern to work from and maybe even with all the quickie divorces may stay together long enough to raise the kids. Yea I know folks are going to say their mom and dad stayed just to raise them and fought forever and how it messed up their life, but they had at least a life compared to the girls that don't get the ring and abort run away or commit suicide. Once you are here it's up to you to make your own destiny!

Answer 3

In fact, we have both sides of the world, that is, an unhappy world and a happy one. Moreover, such unhappiness or happiness is relative to something within or outside us. We simply can't change everything so that we can be happy; we can change something within our means or ability. Most of all, true happiness comes from within, that is, from the mind. In other words, whenever we control/meditate the mind to be happy, we will definitely be happy. Therefore, we can find some happiness in an unhappy world.

Answer 4

In my opinion, happiness is a feeling that you experience. It comes from how you perceive and judge the things around you. It is up to yourself to see things in an optimistic way. It depends on whether you are willing to change the way you think.

For example:
When you wake up in the morning, you can be thankful and experience happiness when you think positive (Imagine some people who died in their sleep and never wake up!),
or you can choose to wake up feeling dreadful and complaining when you didnt wake up on time and being late for appointments.

In this world, there are 10 people that we will face in our lives. no matter how good you are, there will always be 3 idiots who will hate you and make u depress at all cost! Another 3 person will choose to sit on the fence and don't care about you at all. The next 3 person will love and care for you no matter how bad you are. The last tenth person who makes the difference... is YOU, youself, that makes happiness a reality!

I believe no matter how bad the situation is, one will be able to find happiness when one looks on the optimistic way of life. You are the deciding factor that determines and control the elements of happiness in your depressed world of unhappiness!

Tomorrow will be a better day.

Answer 5

I'd challenge you're assumption. Happiness doesn't come from the world, in comes from inside each one of us.

If you mean that no one else was happy or were incapable of being happy, then it would be an obstacle or at least a distraction for my happiness. But I can be content, happy, blissful and even ecstatic without any influence from the outside. It is easier to achieve with others, as we are social animals, but it happiness happens all the time with or without being able to share it.

Peace

Answer 6

By staying positive and focusing on poitive thoughts, replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, believing in God and the power of prayer! People do this everyday now, as the world is becoming very depressing with all the bad things we hear on the news etc. But there is always something positive,actually a lot we can focus on instead. We have to or we would probablly all go crazy, if we only focused on all the awful stuff. There is always something good, as long as you have God in your life.

Answer 7

By helping the others to be happy.

Answer 8

Your statement renders it impossible--

If there was a depressed world with no happiness....

If there was such a world with no happiness then happiness could not exist..

Life can only exist -- the very moment it begins--
thus in a world without life--life cannot exist..when life begins to exist..that world no longer exist...

thus your world of no happiness
would cease to exist-when the first smile or laugh happened.

Answer 9

Happiness is a subjective thing. The only way to achieve happiness is to know what you're looking for. As long as you know that there is always going to be happiness.

Answer 10

Read history. The world has always been in turmoil. Personal happiness is on the individual. Get some couselling.

Answer 11

If you were on a world where EVERYONE was depressed you would be perfectly fine. If everyone is depressed then as far as everyone is concerned everything is fine. You would not know what being happy was so you wouldnt think anything of it.
