What I meant is that sometimes you believe you're happy when you do things that make you feel good, but are irresponsible or inmature in some way. For example, drugs, they do make you feel good, but in the long term, they only bring pain and suffering to you, your family or anyone around you. That's not happinness, that's why I used the term "believe". Happiness, IMO, should be a constant state of mind, something you achieve by a deep self-understanding. I think that if you're happy, you are happy all the time, not just when you do things you like, or if you are with a certain person, or whatever. You free yourself from all that external stuff (sry, couldn't a proper word, english is not my native language) and learn that you are the only one responsible for your life, and so, you are the only one who can make you happy. Happinness is inside all of us, it's just a matter of taking it out.mushroomedmario said:i noticed you used the term believing, you should be happy, not believe that your happy cause you didn't do things you thought you shouldn't do.....
Obiously, that doens't mean that you shouldn't want to do things you like, but you would understand that you don't need to. If you can do something you like or makes you feel good, do it, as long as it's not self-destructing; if you can't, enjoy life anyway, just be happy.
At least that is my opinion on the subject.
