Does one's really need religions to find Happinese?

As you say it is all in a State of mind, how you felt about yourself.

Try defining Happinese or sadness and you have a whole bunch of questions popping up.

No idea, don't want to crack my head, any problems that can be solve good if not just live with, it is going nowhere fast.

live the life you want and make most of it, who knows what is going to happen next, you might just drop dead or strike lottery.

So let it be, and be cheerful.

I am happy when I screwed someone.
I am happy when I see someone screwed up.
I am happy when someone get screwed.
I am happy if you get screwed also.

Yes, of course. The most important question is whether you are willing to follow or not? :smile:

people define happiness differently in different stage of life, thus, different people search for different happiness in different stage of life.

at my stage, happiness is
- when my family and friends are in good health
- when i have a peaceful evening with a good cup of chinese tea (香片)
- when i have a good BBBJ, CIM and quality session

Happiness is a state of mind, why seek beyond?

Most of us would think that happiness needs something to invoke, but it isn't necessary so. A person who may be broke, homeless and alone could well be happy as well, because in his state of mind, he feels happy without any bonding or being bonded by any ways...debts, mortgage, bondage to another human being....the list goes on.

In my opinion, happiness is about having peace of mind.
If one is poor but has peace of mind, he will be happy. A billionaire with no peace of mind will not be happy.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Man A thought that he will be happy once he bought a car, when he bought a car, he thought he will be happier when he got his own home. When he has a house and a car, he still find something lacking in his life, he realized he had no girlfriend, no one to care for him. He found a girl, got married. He was happy for sometimes then he realized that he want to be a boss, his life could only be complete when he has his own business then he will have real joy. later, he become his own boss, earn lot of money, have house, car and a loving wife. One day he realized that his wife look like shit and he really envy his pauper friend who has a chio biu wife. If that pretty wife was his instead, then he think he will be truly happy.

Happiness is all in the mind.

Tell me which things/ideas in the world doesn't come from the mind?

How do you condition your mind to have permanent joy instead of ephemeral?

Can sins place an attack on your happiness once in a while?

Ah, yes.... Please do not forget to include good health too.
Which no amount of money can buy you that.

If a person is in poor health and may even be dying, but he accepts death, he will have peace of mind and he will be happy.
Which pill popping hypocondriac do you know is happy?

Good News!

My wife's aunt has become a born again Christian!!

After months of suffering from a series of severe health problems, all of us, including the church brothers and sisters prayed for her....she finally recovered and is greatly indebted to Christ salvation!!

Hallelujah!
