Brief Happiness

Hello cuties. I could just hug you guys. Just out taking an afternoon stroll. It is almost like being there. I am not sure though if it was a sneeze that startled the deer and sent him off. It sounded like something else but I can’t say what. Ah, poor babies.

Just look at those ears!

I think the two little ones in this video are the two Bambi’s in the other video. They lost their spots now, and you can see tiny little “buttons” between their eyes and ears at the time 1:21 in the video. They are both “Button Bucks.” Those are tiny little antlers. :slight_smile:

This guy is on my deck now. Every year around this time I have a few Mantis hanging around for a couple weeks. They are so cool!

You don’t need to be happy all the time. We are all human. There are problems and circumstances that come to our lives, no one is happy all the time. Life is a dance between happiness and sorrow; you can either dance as a clown, with humor, or a ballerina, with grace, or a tightrope walker, with faith. Happiness is not a possession of one who is always content; the true sign of one’s happiness is to be content with what you have at every moment, no matter what you are doing. The greatest happiness comes from giving up attachment, not from the temporary pleasures of life. This is what we call the “Noble Eightfold Path.” We all have the ability to get caught up in the drama of life, and then it’s a difficult dance from present circumstances to joy and happiness.

:icon-rolleyes:

Things can be bettered… and done so with ease, but are not.

If the mind can be twisted, around to be happy even in unhapiness, then you have the problem licked.

Guess why cats chase their tails around the milk bowl?

I don’t do ‘faux’ …faux feelings are a human abomination, that humankind should never have been built on.

I resolved the problem, through thinking and then re-planning my physical efforts… which was the factor that was reducing my happy feels, so I did something about it, not pretended to be happy.

I don’t have a tail, but I do have a mighty-fine ass (sorry, I couldn’t help it :-$ ) lolz

Pics or it didn’t happen. LOL ; )

Happiness…contentment.
When need/desire falls beneath consciousness - out endurance levels - our lucid self, i.e., ego, experiences a state of contentment.
It is brief because soon needs and the desires they produce begin to rise and are made conscious, disturbing our state of bliss.
Intoxication, or focus - being in the zone - is a way of remaining unaware and so prolonging our contentment.

…one of your more favourite sayings, that …no matter what the profile, said under.

Happiness is… contentment, contentment is… optimisation. Happiness, being a continuum, not a singularity, so certainly not brief.

My contentment is literally infinite then. I never leave the state of bliss. That’s why I can write 300 books. Sort of a proof of wisdom, to be able to endure in that state indefinitely. Why don’t you pledge yourself to me as a spiritual subservient so I can indoctrinate you in the church of not being a total FGT and you can learn my secrets?

Lol!

Happiness does not exist via right and wrong.
Happiness is based on chemistry.
