Does the society make a person happy, or do they make themselves happy?
TraceOneInfinite:
Moral question for everyone to offer their thoughts on. Does the society make a person happy, or do people make themselves happy?
I'll post my thoughts later.

HAPPINESS IS A DECISION, NOT AN EMOTION.

Anyone would choose happiness over sadness if given the choice.
ZILLA THA GOODFELLA:
but not everyone understands happiness is a decision that they have to make for themselves.. I've been to 11 countries, I know what it's like to be amongst filthy rich muthafucaz who have every reason to be happy but somehow are a much bigger wreck than the people I ran wit in the murder capitals of the nation for example. My grandma in the middle east is as happy as it gets where she is, but still sleeps on floors and goes outside in the backyard to take a shit in a hole in the ground.. ya dig what I'm sayin? you can't say it's society.. if a close one to you dies for example, you can decide to be happy for their life and cherish the times they were here or you can become depressed and blame god.. these are all decisions. Most people ain't in tune with their souls, so they can't make the right decisions.
Sparegeez:
Happiness is an emotional or affective state that is characterized by feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction. It is not a decision.
You don't chose to be happy. People around here aren't happy because their used to the things that poor people aren't used to like food and water. People take these things for granted. You can called it being spoiled. To be happy you have to have a balance of the things you have and the things you want. If you have a lot of things, you're not going to just be settled, you're gonna want more. In that case you'll never be happy because you won't reach a limit on the things that will make you happy. If you don't have a lot of things, you're always gonna be bothered about not having enough and you're going to be constantly fighting for new things. That's why the poor class and rich class are generally the unhappy ones and the middle class ones the happy ones. But it doesn't always have to be about money, it can be about love too.
