    Like today I was listening to blues travelers all things are possible and suddently an wave of happiness hit me everything seemed so clear,simple & beautiful but in 10 minutes this felling left.Why does happiness leave why can't you get happy once and that felling would just be with you for the rest of your life?

    Why not? Do you appreciate that song of the Blues travelers more or less now you know it caused you to be happy for a short but intense while?

    Feel grateful for the happy experience. If I get depressed it certainly does not go away fast. I am always grateful for happy thoughts no matter how fleeting.

    Without sadness we wouldn't be able to appreciate what it means to be happy.

    You can't have the yin without the yang baby

    Some people get more yang than yin. Things up in the brain aren't balanced.

    because the happy feeling leaves you will know the sad feelings are also destined to leave..

    Buddhist answer impermanence. Nothing stays the same down to the molecular level and we bullshit ourselves to believe that it does. This fact is disconcerting to most but is reassuring to me. Things go great and I appreciate them because they'll go to shit eventually. Things go to shit for a while but they'll go right eventually. Find the equilibrium. It all balances itself in the end.

    There's also a difference between happy and joy.

    I have a life with lots of joy. Mostly that means I am happy, but I still deal with the stress, and little to large things that need dealing with, and they can take wind out if my sails.

    If the joy is internal, happy is external.

    Gotta make your own happy source.

    It is purely your own choice whether or not you are happy. Happy is not an emotion, it is a state of mind. I associate inner peacefulness with happiness. If you wish to remain at peace with your outer surroundings, you can choose to remain happy. Easier said then done but it's only up to each and every one of us how happy we truly are.

    There cannot be joy without sadness.
