saturated with happiness!

I am saturated with happiness. Filled to the brim with joy spilling out of me. Joy flows unconsciously, and pours into the world into the mountains and down the rivers overlowing with me. My joy. My happiness. The world is filled. I see my happiness flowing across the skin of the world, and filling deep inside your face, your eyes, you lips, and down into all of you. And the world is mine with happiness unlimited. And the happiness is no longer just mine ? it is everyones and in everything and filling filling filling. So high, so high. I am not limited to the sky, or the stars beyond. Happiness spreads, joy encompasses all. All. All. All.
 
I just asked myself why I am happy - and I had a revelation! I could find very few reasons in my past for why I am happy now. I realized it is the future that is making me happy and not the past! Too often people judge whehter or not they should BE HAPPY RIGHT NOW on what has happened in the past. The amazing thing is that the past is the past does not define your happiness. RIght now, sitting in your chair what if you realized that you can be happy right now because the future has not happened - because you can be happy right now. Most likely nothing physical is stopping you from being happy. Even people with painful terminal illness can be happy. HAPPINESS is not a product of the past, it is a product of the present and the future. The future has not happened yet, so it can be anything. It will be happy if you simply make happiness happen right now and don't stop. Choose a path of happiness! It does not matter what path you used to be on. You can be happy right now.

well....uh....thats nice in theory but it doesn't always work. for example.....my mom died today so i will not be happy because it is not a happy thing and it has happened in the past. yes the future has not happened(or has it? 1 second ahead of right now is considered the future) but at the moment i am not happy because of what happened in the past. i still have the ability to be happy in the future once i get over what happened in the past

I should've said that the past does not have to define your happiness. Did your mom really die? My prayers go out to your and her. Now, let me ask you - does her death make you sad because it happened in the past, or because she won't be in your life in the future? I would like to think that when my mom dies, I will cry - and even be sad - but my tears will be a celebration of her life, and I will think of all the joy the memory of her will give me for the rest of my life. There is a social convention that says we need to be sad when someone dies - but why can't we simply fill our lives with the love we feel for that person celebrate her life?

have you been taking any "happy pills" recently?
I did eat some Brown Cow chocolate yogurt. The sensation of twisting its flavors around my mouth made me happy.
 
no, my mom didn't really die, i just used that as an example. you have a good point on that i would be sad because she wouldnt be in my life in the future but also sad because i would remember all the things we did in the past.

You can take care of hell then if you want.

When all the gladness has left, when there is nothing left but the dark...then I will find you. And you will give yourself freely. Then, you will know the power of the dark side. :evil:

*dark music plays in background*

Yesssssss! The transformation has begun....do not fight. Your soul will die freely and you can be rid yourself of righteousness, benevolence and charity. Embrace lust. Embrace greed. Embrace.....The Dark Side.
