I'm happy!! Everyone gets down sometimes and I think lately people are having a hard time seeing the good in their lives, which prevents them from coming out of a depression. If you tell me a joke I will laugh! Laughter is music of the soul!

I'm happy, sure the world is in crap shute but in the words of Master Ugway "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery and today is a gift thats why they call it the present."

No happy people? Look at me. I'm thrilled. You can tell by the ecstatic expression upon my face. -.-

everyone hates everyone

i think people are less happy then they should be because the world has become too unnatural, in my opinion.

With a president like Obama what is there to be happy about. He or the press tell you every day that things are bad and getting worse. For me it a temporary thing and will turn around inspite of what he does. Free enterprise is the thing that always wins.

What do you expect? The entire western world is in an economic depression, created by George W. Bush, who borrowed and borrowed and borrowed and spent $BILLIONS to finance his phony war. He approved every bill submitted by the Republican Congress (first 6 years). He disguised the costs of this expensive behavior by quietly borrowing from other nations instead of paying from his own (U.S.) budget. Now we're paying the price. When you've lost your job, or your family, friends, or online acquaintances are broke, where do you expect to find happiness?

Mabye the hapopy ones aren't spending their time in chat rooms and message boards, or you can't hear them because they are not the ones griping and whining. I'm very happy, sure we've got some woes, like there is never enough money for what we would like or need to do, but well, that's life and we make do. I'm not going to whine about it here as that does nothing. I'm not a whiner or a complainer. If I have a problem and I can't contain it anymore, I might talk about it with my husband or maybe a friend. But I'd rather just be a happy person and enjoy the parts of my life that make me happy.

I think truly happy people have found better things to do than sit around and mope about things they can't change. Sometimes when people get depressed they mope around online because it's there, available. Maybe they don't feel motivated to do anything. So they complain, some get bitter and grumpy. Its not always easy to reverse that. You also have to keep in mind that just because someone complains about something, it doesn't make them unhappy. Happy people have high and low points in their daily lives too, they just have different ways of coping with it. Go to a park, A mall, the movies. There are happy people out there, you just have to look in the right places. I read about a family with 2 children, one was never happy with anything, no matter how great it was. The other was always happy. A psychiatrist told the parents to get a gift for them. The first gift was given to the boy who was never happy. A Brand new bike. He opens it and instantly starts whining that he doesn't like the color, the seat looks silly, etc. The other boy gets his present, nothing but dog poop. He cheerfully gets up and starts running around the house, "I got a Puppy!! where is it??" Some see the glass half-empty... Some see the glass half-full....
