Real talk?
It sounds kinda gay, but who is?
And to add to the discussion, does money make you happy?
What about lving somewhere that's well off?
I got some dope shit for you all to read if this interests you, but lemme know.
Is it the fullfillment of one's needs? Having luxury?
Well?

Obviously having no worries financially helps U become happier.. But too much freedom makes U think harder bout urself.

Depends on what you consider a 'luxury.' Money makes most people happy b/c without it you can't satisfy what you need to be happy on a superficial level (which is how most people seek happiness nowadays). I don't consider that TRUE happiness though.
I'm happy b/c of the people around me.

lol you dont need alot of money to be happy but you need some pfff.. maybe now n days.. but look at tribes that live in the rainforest.. i mean they are happppy as fucckk.. n they dont even have a dime... look at the tribes of africa that live in the wilderness... they hunt, and cook their own food and their happy.. except for the diseases over there but thats just unfortunate and a result of corruption and misuse of government money.. really ask yourself what "money" is.. most people say money is everything.. but in my eyes, EVERYTHING, isssss... money. i say this in the way that money is a representative of something.. whether it be something u buy.. it represents what u bought.. and when u work and get payed.. it represents your sevice.. so money is everything.. everything is money... look at the way people bartered back in the days.. they'll trade a service for something else whether it be a service or animal, food, watever.. money is just a representative of these things.. so if u realllyyyy think about it, money is nothing... money is non existent.. we are basically trading our service for whatever we buy with our money.. im anti materialistic, so i can give a fuck how i look, how i smell, what im wearin, what car im drivin.. n so on... i wear what i want... i look how i want.. i say what i want.. i act like i want.. i am who i am... and money can never change that.. and sayin that just makes MMMEEEE, fuckin HAPPPYY... ha |

In my own little way I'd like to think money has the ability to make you happy, but it doesn't really because you'll eventually want more money and it becomes more like I want more and more but thats happy is it if you crave something. Money is valued differently in different cercumstances, for instance if I made a minimum amount of money a year I'd enjoy it more for the first few years but then gradually I'll feel I'd want more. Now say a man makes 100 times what I make he'll spend it quickly and if you have that much money, money itself loses its value.
I think to be happy is to have people around you, that you an associate yourself with, say family, freinds or even a way of life.
Honestly I see myself as, I want money and when I have it I spend it how I want to...I care about having money as money makes me feel secure because I'm needy (take me out some time?) =], though if you smell bad have a horrid laugh or you just plain don't have a personality You aint what I like.
Damn, I'm lonely...haha.
I'm Joking ofc.
About the laughing thing have you ever been talking to some and you think yeah this guy/girls alright and they aint stupid or anything AND BAM EDDIE MURPHY CHUCKLE...Urgghhhh its a Killer.
I went completely off topic there didnt I?

Thheeyyy are the military.. SShhitt if anything they work WAAYYY HARRDERRR than any of us "regular" people that live in big countries.. i mean how would u feel if u were in their position, and u worked hard to get everything u haveee with physical labor, and somebody that lives in a big money flowing country that to u, looks like they have it all, says that u get everything for "FREE" woww... talkin about kickin people while their down.. if they get everything for free, then damnnn how do we get things??? SUPERFREE.. lol i understand what your sayin and were ur comin from, and i know 'money' is important to a certain degree, but im just tryina show how money in a way is non existent.. and its your services/job bein traded for whatever u choose to buy.. money is nothing but a promise note that states u did a service and can buy anything equivalent to the service you did... and your argument of people bein broke is once again over in big countries.. im talkin about third world countries that have lil or no government.. people that are free to live and do whatever the fuck they want, in whatever way they choose... people bein broke in countries like the U.S. is just a result of corruption and a decrepit society.. there should be no reason that no one in this world should not have food.. or a job at that.. i mean the resources are there but there just privetized.. and you say that your broke friends wish they had money and a job, so they can eat ... or do they want the money to buy materialistic shit like cars, huge homes, jelewry.. i mean do they loath rich people for what they have, or do they really want a job/money to eat?
cuz think about it.. if the world was to change in one day, and their were farms bein broughtup throughout every rural area, ghetto, and suburbs to support/feed the families in that area.. would everybody put in their two cents and contribute??? or be stuck in the "its all about me" mindset and just be a lazy bumb sittin on their ass, collectin government checks??? |

"Cause Money Doesnt Bring Happiness The Bills Are Stackin Up But My Mothas Neva Been Sad As This" ~R-Mean~ He stated in an interview that ment the more money you have the more shit gets brought into your life you dont want...the ideas of being robbed klled, and all that shit wont allow you to be happy.
Being happy is not possible (i'm in a media class where we discuss topics as these I'll share my input along with otha students input)
in this soicety we are part of, having things we want and need have become the definition of being happy...however i believe there to be no such thing as happiness because like I heard in a lamb of god song "One Mans Paradise Is Another Mans Living Hell" in an example...someone would rather have pasta and sauce more than a full thanksgiving meal because they simply apreciate the smaller things in life...so because everyones perception of happiness would be different there is no set meaning therefor it can not be felt or shown....Theres a difference between felling good and feeling happy...good is hey i just passed a test I got teh day off from work, smoked a blunt got laid...ok it was a good day...being happy is so much more complex i cant give you a definition or example of it....cause I dont think i've eva honestly been happy.
And to those people who feel friends and family make you happy....why? how? I dont buy it!!!!! if you get happiness from being around people you care for...99.99999999% of the world would be "happy" stuck in their room alone...because we as humans cant comprehend the words we say we feel such as caring...most people lie, hide things, and dont appreciate their friends and family...there for you can not claim to be happy around them because you have to hide who you are around them in one way or another...
final thoughts for now (feel free to argue these points i have more counter claims lol) we as humans use tomany words we cant comprehend the full mental and physical meaning to and give them our own interpretation and like slang language we create a slang definition to the words to make ourselfs "happy" in "love" "caring"...etc
