Are we all pursuing happiness?
Is it for most people the same (pursuing happiness)? If it is, how does real happiness mean for you (what does it include?) and how do you try to achieve this?
I wouldn't know. For Freud it was the orgasm was a moment of true happiness, but according to him it could only exist for a short period.
Answer:
I think many who pursue happiness mistake it for material things..so they seek those things.
For me, I seek contentment as happiness is fleeting, a comfortable living, a harmonious marriage and children who will grow up to also be content, educated adults with lasting love in their lives.
i think there is a difference between pleasure and happiness. most people are persuing pleasure, some happiness. i would be glad for peace of mind.
true happiness would mean for me to be true to myself and to give love to the one person that i cant give love to and i do love that person dearly! And to be able to go to bed at night with only sleep on my mind and not all the problems of my life holding back the sleep i so much want!! That will be true happiness for me!
I think we all SHOULD be pursuing happiness. Two things tend to distract us from that though:
1. Running away from something. Do you ever find yourself living for your image in other people's eyes? You're running away from the fear being disliked. Or maybe you feel guilty about winning. Learn to recognize what you're avoiding about success and live for yourself.
2. Self-destruction. Do you find that you're always working so hard to get what you want, but at the last minute it slips from your grasp? Does it make you feel like you're just not capable of anything? Good news! You are capable. Without realizing it, you are subtly sabotaging yourself. As unlikely as it sounds, there is some fear of succeeding or some psychological benefit for you (like victimhood addiction or something) that is in your way. Find help identifying this and removing it from your behavior and your world will feel like it is a machine working for you.
