Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
Your question is flawed. But if I had to give an answer, no.

Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
The world is not a Happy place, but it is a good place. Life isn't a prescheduled journey organized to make sure YOU are happy all the time. You are given your organs, a couple of parents to look out for you, and after that most of the time it is hard work. Many sad things will happen to you and your surroundings, your wife may get ill, you may lose your leg in a traffic accident, your good friend may die of cancer etc..
BUT, most people live through it. Why? Because the magic moments of life are worth to go through the suffering parts. Waking up a morning by a kiss of your girlfriend, shaking the hand of the old-time friend you never wanted to become enemies with in the first place, seeing your friend wake up from coma, looking into the eyes of a 4-year old smiling child and realize that you created her and made her happy. When those magical moments happen or whenever you look back at them; you can boil some water, sit down with a delicious cup of tea in your great comfortable chair, open your exciting book about Buddha and realize, that he was a wise man for countering the harsh realities with hope, not resignation. |

Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
Depends on the person. Many people also feel great when they act like dicks. This possibility is just hardwired into the human character for everyone, and for some people it's a lifelong thing. Many are entirely indifferent to helping anyone. Many don't help anyone enough to know how they might feel about it.
I really think there are just different kinds of people in the world, and plenty of them. There is usually just as much aggression in social situations as there are good things, and that even from people who would never consider themselves aggressive or less than superlative in any way. We're a viciously competitive species, and it's often not enough that we're together, but we must compete; and it's not enough that we win, but someone must lose. We're genetically built to screw each other over, and that's at least as natural as helping each other or giving a damn about each other, if not more so. |

Re: Can the World be a Happy place?
meh, people are petty and scared and selfish, but they still want to be good people for the most part, and very ogten they are. YMMV.

Did anybody else find it hilarious to have "a dog dying" mixed in here?
