What if you had a perfect life?.I mean, what if you had the life you want?
Have you ever imagined your little perfect world?.You probably did.
What if you were happy?.I mean, most of the members (including myself) are always complaining about how bad their lives are, would you be able to manage a happy life?
Have you ever thought that unhappiness may suit you better than happiness?
You could have a happy life and feel like a wretch, happiness could drive you mad.
What if you were happy…and then, one day, you start thinking: Is this what I wanted so badly? doesn’t seem too much…

Wouldn’t it be pretty?
I can’t even imagine what happiness is like… definitely fear that any measure of happiness would be too little for the crapshoot that is life.
I love these posts of yours, Kira.
1 – I did have that life and I loved it with all my heart and gave it my 100%. I got to do things that most 17 year olds would only dream of (or fantasise about while playing a certain POS FPS game), and amassed a small fortune for which I am still enjoying the benefits of.
2 – I have; it involves a copious amount of zombies, a crimson-haired Latin/Tahitian chick, HELLA MOTHERF*CKIN’ LIQUOR! and “7090″ AKA my old rifle.
3 – Yes, I could manage that. Provided I give it an honest attempt and try not see the bad in it at all. Which is probably why I’m so miserable right now.
4 – I know it suits me at certain times, especially when I need a good kick up the arse to see how melancholic I’m being. Surprisingly, it also helps me to cope with the people I have lost by way of making me smile, even though I’m unhappy…
5 – I’d knock on the cell door, ask for the officer on duty, and request the use of a phone so my Nan can bail me out. Lol.
interesting thought hmmm
i think i had a happy enough life but didn’t think i deserved it or maybe just couldn’t handle stuff internally and then gave myself this one.
i would like the happy one back tho now i don’t like this whole thing i got goin on now at all
I believe there’s no such thing as a perfect life. You can have it for a while then watch it slip through your fingers like sand. You can chase it, but never catch it. Being human with human desires, wants, and needs means we’re always reaching out for the next best thing. As soon as we get it, it becomes our nightmare or not what we envisioned. Then we get the opposite of perfect, which is hell. My only practice is to realize that what is happening now is already perfect. If I can be happy with this Now in whatever form it appears then I’ve found heaven on earth.
I think the apex of existence is not happiness but contentment and satisfaction which is achieved through happiness, although its vitality does not depend on the constant need of it. Contentment is a realistic goal, it all depends on what you want in life and what steps you will take to get it. Some things can’t be achieved and you have to be willing to make compromises, otherwise you’re going to be miserable your whole life. If you want to be miserable, be my guest and sulk and cry over things you can’t change, guess what buddy, that’s life. If you want to get better then the steps to be happy. All or nothing mindsets leave you with nothing as you can’t always have everything.
Well, if we didnt have despair to compare it to it wouldnt seem very special at all. You would get bored and want even more from life, humans seem to be like that. I wish I could be like an animal. They dont think about it, they just live without stress, boredom, or any of the many emotions exclusive to human beings.

Your comment made a lot of sense to me. It’s given me something interesting to think about today at boring work. The happy people get bored, need something more, like travelling, thrill seeking, adventure, etc. But for the unhappy people, we just want the simpler things in life. Well I do at least. They may be simple, but they are so hard to acheive.
