Are you happy?

RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS : First empty your head.. (that’s the most difficult part). Then pick up a pencil or pen and begin drawing whatever comes out of your hand. After a while you will start laughing. If you have added the lucky ingredient, your next idea for Graphic River will have been born

It isn’t only the material things that a person should be grateful for. Eyes alone contain countless amount of blessings.

It is true though, there are people around the world who have far less than we do. Kids in Africa is an example.

Being grateful is also sharing with those in need. If only countries concentrated on helping the humanity instead of making more money.

Than literally blind people can be resentful since they don’t have those blessings?

Please don’t take it personally, i have respect for your world view..

Not really, they just might have hands or feet…. the key word is alone.

No worries .. And graphicmind answered your question. Different people, different world views ..

Yeah i know, what i mean is nobody would say “hey i’m so happy, i lost one arm but i still have another!” This is unrealistic. Nothing’s wrong with feeling down. If we lose one arm we are supposed to experience different feelings, faking a positive attitude won’t help.

I couldn’t feel the happy for each moment and came to the conclusion that it doesn’t going to be that way (especially when creating stuff for unstable browsers – ofcourse the pain of profession spreads into everything even though there are conscious moments of happiness). But earned some range of choice which keeps life interesting + good, sad moments. Sorry for breaking the party if any

Today morning I wasn’t that happy (and posted above response) and came back just now and seen this thread and seems my own response looks little strange to me (not 180 degrees but slight inclination; happened many times in the past too). The problem with life is we don’t have solid continuity with thoughts and when it expressed, it loses more meaning/original content (if any). With confused state, happiness doesn’t have much difference from sadness

From my childhood, the permanent layer that seems to be staying always is “confusion” which can’t be categorized into either good or bad

That’s not unrealistic, that’s crazy .. One can be saddened by the fact one lost an arm, but at the same time grateful for still having the other one.. A very odd example, but I just went with whatever you wrote

I’m neutral, brother, neutral.

I’m going to try that, we’ll see what happens.
