such simplistic answers
For me simple makes me happy.Small things make me the happyist.Like a phone call from someone I haven't talked to for a while.A small gift from the dollar store someone picked up because they thought I would like it.
I get down on myself too much.I've learned that in the last year.I have pleanty of things that make me unhappy.I have to sometimes force myself to look at my good qualitys and remember that I am a good person.My way of thinking has changed over the last year.I went from being some what happy to being very happy.All I had to do was start thinking of life as an adventure and to really start living it and not sit in my normal rut.I got out of my house and did things.Now my life is better then ever.It was all in how I looked at things.

You know JG I think you would rather be sad than be happy. You would rather forever remain a victim,. Crappy job? Blame the Society. No girlfriend? Blame the Society. Living in a place that you hate? Blame the Society. Do you ever plan on taking responsibility for anything that happens to you or do you intend to blame everything on the Society?

I have read your posts Junction-Guy, and you appear to be fairly balanced. So I will limit my comments to saying I hope you can identify what is making you sad and formulate a plan to change your circumstances for the better. I send you my best wishes.

Looking for happiness , makes you unhappy.
What makes us think we can "find" happiness, as if it is kept in a cupboard somewhere.

I don't know.I sometimes think that if you look to hard for something when you find it you don't know because you've built up such expectations for it that it doesn't meet or can't meet.Love is the same way.You keep looking and looking for the perfect person who just never seem to show up.In the mean time you've pasted up people who could or do love you for the hope of a dream that never comes.
Being a happy person is really all about perspective.How you see things makes all the diffrence.

Hey, Junction Guy....I also think you are a balanced individual. Don't get me started about people saying "you create your own reality" and all that. Is that what happened to people living in a war zone? aaaaaaaaggggggghhhhh... Hey sometimes life sucks and I'm sorry your not having a good time of it. I believe we need to keep looking ahead, that this too shall pass, and that life CAN change on a dime.
If you are becoming clinically depressed however it needs to be dealt with medically also. Keep your eyes open for the future...you deserve the best. Mrs. flipper

Life consists of peaks and valleys....peeks can be short and valleys long...or, the other way around...happiness is an illusion...you can enjoy life...never be "happy"...the grass is always greener on the other side...
As Mrs. Flipper said, if your problem is deppersion, get some help, otherwise do the best you can with what you've got...all you can do...

I've never understood this happiness everyone is always seeking like the holy grail or some kind of nirvana. I've come to the conclusion it's not an entitlement but it's some thing you work at achieving. I've also concluded it's not a feeling you have ALL THE TIME but that it comes and goes like most of the other feelings we have depending on our circumstance's think it's also a matter of ones perspective on life sorta like the glass half full.
However that said I am struggling with this too J-Guy there was a time not so long ago I felt reasonably happy with my life regardless of the crapy things that happened from time to time. Over all I was happy, lately that is not the case and I can't figure it out if all the crapy stuff has just caught up with me and over taken me or and this is my biggest concern is that my depression is coming back. I just can't seem to get my "happy" back like I had before. I know I said it required work......I'm just so darn tired.
