"Why are there most people grumpy everyday? I'm stating to think if being happy is not necessary anymore. Don't they feel humane about it when there is no happiness in their lives?"
It was once my question before about these people around me either not being satisfied in what's happening in their lives or just some thing hapenned that changes their perspective forever.
I'm about to ask it also to myself as I grew grumpier each day. No matter where I go; it's like almost everyone has noticed that my perception of happiness and enthusiasm is gone. I'm really not sure either my hormones are fuming at rage or somewhat due to my repetitive tasks each day or at some point I'm feeling no direction at all.
But there is one tiny voice in me that I should be happy; that I shouldn't deprive myself. That if I continue doing this I'll end up having people lured away from me because of this. That I should carry on to my everyday situations and be optimistic in doing everything in life. I don't know if you're thinking it that way like me but I'm starting to ask these: Is being happy essential? I mean; I do have a choice to feel down or to feel glad upon something or a particular situation; or even without any weightful reason at all; right?

At some point that's realistic. You've got a point there. Yeah.. usually I prefer being alone that being surrounded by people who can't accept being me. That also degrades my perspective in life but who cares? It's going to be my call then if I die unhappy.

You are grumpy because you're upset about some one or some thing. When you realize you are grumpy, sit, relax for a few minutes and see if you can divert your mind to some pleasant topic. You will no longer look grumpy. It may take a few minutes. But you must remember you have nothing to gain and everything to lose by looking grumpy. Your colleagues may take advantage of you or may make fun of you. Why should you give them the chance? Cheer up, now and always.

Yeah.. I really kinda agree with you. maybe I should see myself more and search for that reason it triggers me to be like this.
What I have remembered; I came from a two (2) year job that I really love and it was sucess for me as I achieve that goal of being a mentor or a floor walker to supervise agents on the floor. Things get tough for the management peeps and it turns out to be that I was the weakest link so they need to either put me on a admin hearing for some funny reasons (in which; they failed to kick me out the first time) and so there goes my agony sets in. I became unhappy feeling that everyone is always against me; even if I did my best in the field of what I'm obligated to do.
Maybe I just need to adjust my attitude towards life; or at this case... towards people. Thanks for the share ^_^-)

Well happiness is a byproduct of who you are. Well it is essential but not necessary, Just look into Jesus Christ, accept Him as your Saviour and Lord then this so could happiness can be yours forever. Try it, it is proven.

We really need to be happy because we only live once.
Imagine yourself always sad for the most of your life.
Is that a life that you want to live?

no way my friend. You should know that being happy or sad is a choice. When tough times come its your chioce to let that situation get you down and destroy your whole day. And its your choice to think about positve, or fun times or to write down things you are grateful for to get over the bad, negitive thoughts. So its your choice to be happy or sad, don't let what's going on in your life effect your mood:) ok? And plus when you are happy, smiling a lot, even thinking positve will make you really atractive to people. Trust me I do it every day. It makes me view the world a diffrent way it feels so good to choose to be a happy person

I think you should always try and do what makes you happy even if its only something little. Happiness is important for everyone if your not happy then what are you. You cant possiable be very healthy being happy helps reduce stress and depression. Depression is an awful thing to live with. I think its important to always realize your worth being happy everyone deserves to be happy and have a wonderful life.

I think the essence opf living our life here on earth to be happy.
What is life anyway if you are always worried and troubled?
I better die if that is the case 
That is to have peace of mind, body and soul.
One friend once said to me, "what is life after all if you do not enjoy it anyway"
So better live yours happily while you can ! ! ! !
