Why we can't real find happiness in this world?

You are right! We can only find a measure of happiness but not the happiness we were designed to experience. This is not the world we were intended to live in, so we can never be totally satisfied. However, since for the time being we live in this world there are a number of things we can do to be somewhat happy. I'll list a few: Feed our spiritual side. Form good relationships with family and friends. Care four physical needs. Take care of our health. Have some fun.

That`s nonsense, if the happiness will last forever then you won`t know what happiness is.

Yes, I see that we are always needing and wanting. I understand why a middle class or poor has a need or want and why they are never happy. But famous people? It seems they are usually unhappier than all others. But isn't it like they have money, love, security and everything in their clutch? I just feel some people are very selfish and their needs and wants are never satisfied. They see themselves as in the center of the universe. They think they deserve every happiness no matter what.

It is indeed true that we cannot find happiness with just a blink of our eye or snap of our finger.People are not satisfied of what they have ,they tend to look for more,acquired a lot and yet if it's not in the tip of their finger then they think they are not happy at all...but Happiness is not something that is being purchased or achieve...Happiness is just withing a corner...within each person.no matter how rich or poor,famous or simple...Happiness is being contented of whatever you have..once you accept deep in heart whatever you have ..it means you are happy & nothing in the world could ever take it from you or can opposed because you don't care of what they will say,comment or ask....as long as you are happy...

You will be happy if you are contented of what you have. For me, happiness is contentment. Since, almost everyone of us were not satisfied of what we have, of what we are....then that's why we were not happy. AND YES its all passing because when we get what we want....so we will be happy but we want more, so we will strive more for our want(s) to be done. People in nature has no contentment.

You know what? I am happy before.. I thought that walking away from home would makes me feel happy, for I can do anything I want. And my dream would come true somehow. But I am so wrong. I am here in a different place that I thought I could be happy. That if I find a job that would pay more than I have before, that could make me happy. But it doesn't. The time that I should be with my family is the most important thing. I cannot return the time that my parents would need me. I should be helping others by now through my free time. By cleaning the church. I should be a member of an organization. I should have time for every thing and not only for work.

A lot has to do with understanding happiness. Happiness is no more than a Choice!! Understand?? Work on that and you will discover Happiness is within your reach.

Hi Danvantari: Actually I must say that I feel like a happy person. I thank God for what he has given to me and I think more about the things I should be thankful rather than thinking about the things I don't have. I think that's the key for happiness. ALVARO

Being in a happy state is an art. It is not how much one has but what one makes of what one has is the secret of happiness. Everyone has challenges to face but being able to handle them is what that makes a person to rise above them.

There is no real happiness in this world. This statement is 100% right. However, one thing that you must know is, there's nothing wrong with this world. The way we react, is wrong. All the things happen in this world, happened because it has to happen and worse, we cannot control it at all. There's nothing we can control except our own self. None material things will keep us satisfy for a long time. It is because nothing lasts forever. It is law of nature. For that reason, you should learn to let go. To let go of everything u mentioned: power, beauty, wealth.. and all those. There's nothing wrong with things come and go in this world. It is natural. What we should control is the way we react when we get the things we want and when we should lose the things in our lives. just learn to let go and be grateful of everything you have. Then, you'll be happy. I know it is not easy, but it worth a try. :)

Ahahaha ! if I know the answer to this question, I will be on top of the world. I am not getting answer to this in spite of best efforts. I am spiritual. But occasionally I do get anger and become unhappy. danvantari - I thought you are from india-kerala. But you are from Phil. Dhanvantari is the name of medicine God-- god who cures all illness.

We can't find real happiness on this world it's because the world that we live, is not our own world. True happiness is with God. If you want to be happy, be with God and by then you will enjoy in this world.

Life must go one. It doesn't matter that if you have true happiness. The thing only you can do is go for the best and do the best you can. I just mean that enjoy the things at your best. Don't think that you have a fake relations and happiness. This will surely lead to miss some memorable moments.

Yes, you are indeed right. This world can be a very unsatisfying and upsetting place, and I've experienced this many times. However, because I know that it is all just temporary misery it is more bearable to me. Also because I am aware that this misery can in fact be ended if I focus on that which person who is both Spiritual in nature and our dearest friend, I am content with my situation. This also pushes me to better my self, while also trying to help others as best I can. :)

what i do with this experience is to enjoy the good experience that i have by living as long as i can in that moment, because you are right. everything is fleeting including ourselves. the whole point is that you taste the pleasures as long as they are good and not destructive or overdone. it's the same thing like accepting pain and suffering. when we are going through those periods, it seems like there will be no end in sight. but, that too shall eventually pass. so, just live in the moment and be thankful for the good times and things we experience.

The Boao Rorum for Asia Young Leader Round Table was ended a few days ago.Yaoming,the former NBA player in Houston Rocket,attended and talked about his own understanding of happiness.He believes that happiness is in between the upper and the bottom line.The bottom line from the point of society,more security,health care,education and something like that,while the upper line is "shoud be controlled to some extent their own desires" Just like you said,material things cannot really satified us all the time and it isn't also last long.Maybe cherishing what we had is best way to keep good states of mind.

because you and a lot of others do not know what real happiness is it is being happy with what you have, where you are, and being content not being envious of others or jealous of others,not whining because we do not have an ipod,a cell phone,a smart phone or any other electronic gizmo all think we must all have. I am happy in this world as I make my self happy as I am content right now to be where I am as being unhappy just makes you ill , you do not find happiness, you create it, I am not going into all that happened three years ago to tear up my world and not right it, but I learned to survive and to be happy no matter where I am.I get so tired of people saying they are so unhappy when they are in the best of situations and are not grateful at all.contentment you can not be happy if you are not content.so it passes as time passes but every day I make me be happy and happiness begets happiness.

I think maybe a lot of us get caught up in every day life (and materialistic things) and forget to take time to enjoy the small things... And the less superficial things. Like friendship, nature, family, etc.

Most times we, humans, seek happiness outside, expect others to give us and let responsibility fall on others. Sometimes, we reveal the complexity of nature and begin to want more and more, issue more claims, we find true happiness and last an eternity, and their failure to us to say that happiness is only a dream, to hide behind a dark curtain which fills our souls with sadness and disappointment, feelings that spread around us and which are borne by us. Often influence the moods of those around ... There are people who want to force all to be happy and make concessions, to lie alone, creates a true paradise own eternal happiness, and they appear to produce a revival of this falsehood are fatal. But happiness, the ideal to which all aspire, that feeling of boundless joy, the excitement, there is permanent in us ... just to discover, to let them out of the depths of the soul, to realize what would make us happy recipe for happiness ... different for each of us ... at different times of life ... sometimes we find happiness in the little things and even if we settle for short term ... a glance, a flower can bring a smile, we can fill the soul , we can offer those around you a bit of joy ... we get in exchange smiles and other smiles ... Happiness is us ...

Absolutely true! We cant have full satisfaction in this world because we are not perfect... we just try to be perfect as our Creator, the Almighty God is Perfect.
