Are you happy?

This video is so sad.
How did we allow this to happen to our world?
Are you happy with the way things are going?

We are living in hell

 

If I were of a certain religious persuasion I would agree. Is it a hell of our own making?
We need to take the power back.

 

I’m exceedingly happy right now but I know at a moments notice my life could be over or destroyed.

I’m under no illusions that life is fair.

I’m black and it just takes one bad cop wearing an invisible white hood & robe and I’m dead-meat~ gulp~

I have thought that too....many times.....Do something nice for you libra, cos things can get the better of us all. Love to you, I like your posts. Love from drunk rosehippy. xox

 

I am quite often happy and I think a lot of things are going well. I don't like the way of a lot of other things are going (in other places for example) but I can't help that it doesn't permanently affect me (should it?)

 

Do you feel as if what happens to someone in another place on the globe does not affect you? Do you feel all life is somehow connected? For example, anything that harms the planet somehow affects us all correct?

I may appear happy sometimes, but inside I am very sad and troubled by the ways of this world and those in places of power.

 

I am happy knowing i am ready to never leave my house if asked to by police...

Cop - "Broony open up the door, martial law, is the law, please step outside and load up into the truck like everyone else.

Me- I'm not coming out, i plead the 2nd do not enter im warning you

Cop - This is your last chance, open up or we will use force to break down the door.

Me - Aims AR at the door and prays to god...do not open please

Door opens, men rush in, BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
BANG BANG BANG BANG

 

This is a great way to live happily and appreciating what you've got - not taking anything for granted.
Kudos to you good sir.

 

To be honest,I really am not that happy most of the time,both personally and what's going on in the World.And yes I think they are connected.I try to put on a happy face because it's not perceived as "cool" (whatever that is) to appear unhappy.I do though think there is too much focus in the news on what's going wrong and not enough reportage of some of the good things that are happening.

 

*reminds self to never go to Broonys house*

 

I've noticed recently that whenever I stop to ask myself that question, I find that sadly, the answer is no. I can go through life no problem. I keep busy, I help others, I go to parties, but when I really stop and think about it, I am unhappy because it doesnt seem like I am where I want to be in life, yet I don't really have the guts to do anything about it.

That being said, the fear within me is the following: Am I unhappy because I am a square peg trying to fit in a round hole,or am I unhappy because I fail to appreciate what I have.

That is the big question for me right now.

 

Often it does not affect me indeed, unless I make it a conscious effort to spread my concerns out to others and their problems that does not seem to affect me directly (which I sometimes do). I am unhappy with China occupying Tibet for example but I can't say it affects my happiness on a daily basis.

 

If they were rounding up the people, you would want to come to my house.

 

constant struggle to get medicine.. no, Im not happy..

 

ok but i only have an airsoft gun from when I was like 13

 

I watched the first couple of minutes of that video. I was expecting EVERYBODY to be beaten. What I saw was a couple of people restrained and probably a looter being removed from a shop. I wasn't happy being lied to.

I have not been that happy recently. Too many toxic people in my life. Not enough money. Not enough of everything, really. I'm not complaining too much, though. As they say: somebody somewhere has it worse off than you.

 

Pause: followed by a few seconds of silence……

Cop: Coast is clear Sergeant
Sergeant: Is broony dead
Cop: yeah, dead alright
Sergeant: :looking around: Damn the place was rigged to explode
Cop: Yeah there’s enough C-4 to take out half a city block

I'm very unhappy inside. I irritate the hell out of myself because however hard I try ot someone else tries I physically can't be happy in this world. I've been this way since I remember, 6 years old refusing to eat my dinner and begging my dad to put it in an envelope and send it to africa...


But I do get joy out of weird little things, like the colours of leaves in a tree contrasting with the sky. Or being in a really calm relaxing place away from noise/distraction. And of course, my little girl makes me very happy

 

I'm not happy at all, and at the same time I have been waiting for this all my life.


Oh! to be better prepared.
