If I have never known true happiness how would I know I have it ? True happiness's nothing else ?

Question

Just for Fun ! Or not Thanks !!

Answer 1

You will know you have it when you've experienced true sadness.

Answer 2

A friend once asked me when I was feeling blue, "Who says we're supposed to be happy?"

I had no answer!

"True happiness" can be shortened to just "happiness" and it's easy enough to realize. When you realize that all the negatives are gone: moodiness, worry, fear, nerves, discomfort, a headache -- guess what takes its place? Happiness!

I joke with people who see me and say to me, "You are so happy!" I tell them, "Don't worry, it'll pass." And indeed, happiness is a fleeting thing, something that comes and goes, for without pain and misery we cannot appreciate happiness for its magic and healing.

Now, if you are talking about "true happiness" in love, that, too is a condition that comes and goes, day by day. Love comes in many stages as it develops, brightens, and wanes into just being very comfortable with someone else or, in the extreme, the loss of a loved one.

There is no such thing as constant happiness, but the best thing to do is have a positive outlook with life and to eliminate negative thinking -- catch it and squash it as soon as you can! People who are happy attract other happy people around them.

And may all your Christmases be white..."

Answer 3

If you've only known sadness and heartache, lack of it can seem like happiness, but it is just contentment. True happiness overcomes the past, does not live in the future, but truly is enjoyment or sheer joy of the moment, no matter how fleeting.

Answer 4

You are interested in happiness without one moment of unhappiness, pleasure without pain, it is the same thing, so to learn true happiness you need to go through pain and sufferings.

Its like this we don't know the taste of sweet until and unless we eat something bitter.

Answer 5

A great psychiatrist under whom I studied often said, "you cannot contain more joy than you've known sorrow."
He was very wise!! (Dr. Gilbert Katz)
