Contentment is where it's really at.

This is what I mean. Man. I'm sure there are many, many people out there that have as a definition for happiness whatever you define contentment to be. It's all so arbitrary. There is precision in language, yes, but there is no precision in turning ephemeral and amorphous emotions into language. Really really really good writers can do it, but that's about it.

A friend of mine just recently started dating after a long hiatus. Despite the lovers high she's feeling, she doesn't think this new relationship makes her entirely happy.

This lead her to ponder, if she was indeed happy. She asked me, what is happiness. My first response was: "Being Happy, is standing in front of your fridge, and everything looks good. Being unhappy is standing in front of your fridge, and its full, but nothing looks good".

Another thing I said was "Happiness is when you're at a coffee shop, and refills are free".


I like my descriptions. They lack substance, but they are things which make me feel happy. But what is Happiness to you?

I bet she's not dating a cunning linguist.

Anyway, happiness is for yuppies. No need to bother about it, unless you're a yuppy that is.

I did a double take when I read that. I see it every day at school, i was surprised to see it on Apolyton.

Why? Because Poly is a den of homosexuals?

I also have a female friend asking me about happiness. I think women just look for things they can't have. And are envious of others.

They just need to accpet that they aren't perfect and can't have everything in the ****ing world. .

happiness is a state of contentment a majority of the time.
