Happiness........... Though I already have it....it just has its ups and downs.....It's called contentment in what situation you are in and being happy with who and what you are.....

Why? It's happiness, end of story. Everyone does.

A few things I would care not to go into.

I desire going to sleep right now which is impossible.

Going to sleep? Would that make you happy now?

it sure would but I might miss work and I rather eat something and not sleep but I don't like eating late too early in the morning.

I believe one of the most basic, important and fundamental things a person can desire would be happiness - after all, things become rather bleak without it. Millions of dollars, Success, a 50 ft yacht - what does it mean if one is miserable?

Happiness would certainly be at the top of my list, and I have ways of achieving it - love, books, helping others, music and art and so on. I desire those things, but in the greater picture they are mere avenues to happiness.

The five other things that rate below happiness but are still things I desire in life:

Respect: I do hunger a bit for it. I am doing well so far, if it remains at such a level, or goes up some, then it will make me happy.

Success: Hmmm, means different things for different people, but in conceptual terms, for me, Success is a vindication of my abilities and my hard work.

Knowledge: It would be my holy grail... total knowledge. Totally impossible, but there is a strange satisfaction in thinking while I will never know anything, I will know know plenty.

Health: Pretty self explanatory.

Self Satisfaction: A bit arrogant yes, but I believe that when I eventually retire and look back that I desire the right to say: "Yes, you did a great job with your life so far. You should give yourself a pat on the back." And more importantly to mean it.

Happiness and peace with myself....

enough money to get me through college.

Nah, it isn't You have a little logical flaw there. Being unhappy shouldn't make you happy, since I never denied that you could be unhappy...I just denied you could want to be unhappy.

But I do want to be unhappy now... you've given me motive.

That won't be much of a problem. Since you are too ****ing stupid to understand what I meant in the first place, you dumbass, I doubt you will be happy for long anyways. Piece of shit.

Perhaps, but what really makes me happy is when others are happy too, that's how I am.

Cool, so basically when you help others to be happy you do that to be happy yourself? Yeah.Originally posted by xmarksthespot

Nah....everyone knows that you8 only eat babies for happiness.

I certainly enjoy one every now and then. But only in moderation, they're high carb.

Meh. I don't so much mind in the altruism debate whether someone is doing it and being made happy in the process or if someone is doing it solely out of a feeling of duty/responsibility. If the by product is something good for those who need it it is ok in my book.

And Rome TW: Barbarian Invasion is a great expansion. Though I can't wait for Medieval 2. From all I have seen and heard it is drool worthy.



But one with a heart of gold.

Complete happiness. Would be impossible, considering that no one can be happy at all times...but, still...I would like some sort of over-all contentment.

yeah, I know it's been said plenty of times, but that's honestly what I want. Been going through some rough times, can you blame me for wanting some contentment?

and for me. probably love. not some mythical "true" love, but someone who isn't looking at me thinking "do i really want to be with this person." someone who is happy to be with me.

Maybe not, but it's the truth. Even the cars you want you only want because they make you happy, right? Although complete happiness would probably not be such a great thing I think it'S basically what we all want to aquire.

Haha, love it.

Love is what I got
It's within my reach
And the sublime style's still straight from long beach
It all comes back to you you're gonna get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served

What do I desire? 'Desire', my pretty one, desire? Ohh la la, mon cherie...ohh la la.

Anyway, all ye need in life is love, health, and happiness. That's where it's at, people. That's where it's at.

All those bling-bling cars, pimp'd-out pads, and Crystal-sippin' bitnitches aren't gonna get you higher to heaven. You need to find the one you love, hold her/him, partake in daily exercise - for your mind, body and soul - et voila! A happy face greets you each day as you wake and shake in the mornin'.

Word. It's da troof, yo.

And what would be the point without it? I can say I would love to own a Picasso (one from his mid period), and owning one would make me happy. So much we do we do in the hope it will cause happiness, so on a subconscious level I believe that most people are striving towards a degree of happiness, or at least contentment.

After all, if you got the things on your list, what would be the emotional reaction? I am betting they would make you happy. So in a fashion you are desiring things that bring happines.

I desire to be a great bodhisattva person. It is the most noble and self-fulfilling lives of greatest satisfaction and happiness in life. A bodhisattva is literally a living being (sattva) who aspires to enlightenment (bodhi) and carries out altruistic practices. The bodhisattva ideal is central practice to the Mahayana Buddhist tradition as the individual who seeks enlightenment both for him- or herself and for others. Compassion, an empathetic sharing of the sufferings of others, is the bodhisattva's greatest characteristic. It is shown in the following incident from the Vimalakirti Sutra which concerns a prominent lay follower of the Buddha who had fallen ill. When questioned about his illness, Vimalakirti replied, "Because the beings are ill, the bodhisattva is ill. The sickness of the bodhisattva arises from his great compassion."

It is held that the bodhisattva makes four vows expressing a determination to work for the happiness of others: "However innumerable sentient beings are, I vow to save them; however inexhaustible the passions are, I vow to master them; however limitless the teachings are, I vow to study them; however infinite the Buddha-truth is, I vow to attain it."

The vows, each of which commits the bodhisattva to the open-ended pursuit of a continually receding goal, may seem daunting. Buddhism asserts, however, that the path of the bodhisattva is not an otherworldly undertaking for people with unique gifts of compassion or wisdom. Rather, the life-condition of bodhisattva is inherent in the lives of ordinary men and women, and the purpose of Buddhist practice is to strengthen that state until compassion becomes the basis of all our actions.

In addition to compassion, the vows reflect the bodhisattva's commitment to self-mastery, to study and learning, to the attainment of wisdom. None of these, however, is pursued in a vacuum, merely to improve or adorn the self; at the base of all these efforts is always the determination to remove the sufferings of others, and to replace them with joy
