RE: I'm only happy when...

in #philosophy6 years ago

Sudden fulfillment of pent up desire is conducive to an intense but short-lived flare of happiness. For a less intense but deeper feeling of happiness an opportunity to live a purposeful life according to one's own values is needed.

Sort:  

I think a lot of people sit and eat while waiting for inspiration to strike and provide purpose. I haven't ever seen that work.

I think even more people are unable to follow their dreams because of their circumstances. This is why I always tell younger people to try and fulfill their potential before getting married and having children or even getting seriously involved with anyone. Young adulthood is a terrible thing to waste doing what is expected of you or being tied down by responsibilities. Once you have a family taking up all your money and all your time, you can forget about it.
