these are all true, i don't know why you would rather hold onto your ego and be miserable than to let go of your pride and believe in something and maybe have a chance at happiness for once

HEY DON'T YOU KNOW
HAPPINESS IS JUST A CHOICE
YOU GOT CANCER, STUCK IN POVERTY, GOT MUGGED? AHAHAHAHHAHAHA PFFF WHO CARES! IT'S JUST A CHOICE
eh happiness might not be a choice but maybe you can try to view "negative" emotions such as sadness and anger in a more positive light. you can meditate on anger in a way to control it. treat emotions like you do when going to see a sad or scary movie. idk sorry its hard to explain. my advice is probably just as good as something insulting like "just think postitively". good luck
>>24298835
It is a choice though. Just because something unfortunate happens doesn't mean I have to be a sad sack of shit.
Unfortunate events happen to everyone and it's a choice be happy and look for positives
>>24298835
>>24298928
exactly what that anon said, if you step on shit then wash it off your shoes and move on. If you don't clean it off of course its going to stick and smell up your life. The choice was yours. A lot of people get cancer and still try to be optimistic just as some choose to self wallow.
>>24298835
There are people that have/had have hard lives and are still happy. It's just that most people here are kinda weak.willed.
>>24298677
there sure are alot of sad upset people on here for a bunch of people claiming to be happy, fulfilled, sexually active neets :^)
>>24298677
IT'S ALL JUST ATTITUDE ANON

Both sides of the argument come with a lot of assumptions about other people's lives. Nothing is as simple as "Oh just make yourself feel better" or "no, everything is ruined for ever."
ASSUME NOTHING, KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN, AND LEAVE ME ALONE.
Most people are very good at identifying these two things:
1. The external forces / events in their life
2. How those forces / events make them feel
Most people miss a basic truth. Between an external event and the emotion it has triggered are your THOUGHTS.
Some seem to believe that their emotional state comes from nowhere - but you have always thought yourself into that state, most times in a fraction of a second.
The key is to be conscious and aware of your thoughts. The good news is this: unless you are mentally ill, you can control what you are thinking.
But since this r9k, I guess you're all just fucked.

when 99% of the time the fault is user error you can't help but assume. unless you shed some light and give specific details of how you are so different from the 99% then you will be lumped with those whiny children.
pic related, just be optimistic

Says the guy who ha never experienced a modicum of adversity in his life
>inb4 neither have you
Burden of proof, ad hom etc...
>>24300167
the key to true happiness is to erase your sense of self and the 'need' for thoughts entirely
realizing there is no you to defend
>depression is meme, it eventually goes away

You don't get it, do you cunt?
The point is not about adversity. The point is that you can decide how you respond to that adversity.
Are you even paying attention here, or are you so convinced of your own perspective that you'll reject any other philosophy or concept automatically and go on the offensive?
Your response is precisely indicative of the central premise here - you blame the world and have s victim mentality.
You sad, silly cunt.
>>24300432
>victim mentality
You not gonna get away with using buzzword you don't fully understand, don't you? What you do is projecting and implanting the "just world mentality"
>>24300432
I Wish I could give you cancer so you could put your money where your mouth is
>>24300414
They'll never understand.
>>24298835
looks like we got a whiner that thinks about the world in binary and all examples are relevent.
you can control your thoughts. but you cant control other people or anything outside ur spik mind.

What does happiness means? I'm happy generally but I would like to try more things than sitting in my dark room
>>24300167
Who the fuck here is not mentally ill?
I've chosen to be happy but I'm still alone.
>>24300232
>pic related, just be optimistic
that your shortcomings will be something that the entire world will very easily understand and give you more than enough pity and accommodation for?
>>24300268
Fuck! My sides have been obliterated.
Thank you, sir.

I already realized this when I reasoned out determinism. who cares suffering still hurts, and you still have to think
