What is one of the things in life that truly makes you happy?

[Mayne]

Cooking dinner for my family. Something about the whole process fulfills me. My whole day could be shit but seeing everyone enjoying a home-cooked meal brings things into prospective.

*edited* I got perspective mixed up.

 

[GrumpyMan]

I agree what else could be better?

 

[lxskllr]

Laying in bed with my kitty.

 

[Mai72]

Watching the Eagles lose.

 

[adamantine.me]

Music. As long as the music is playing, and the music is real, so are the feels

 

[UnklSnappy]

Being around and interacting with a dog. Doesn't even have to be my own.
I figure when I retire I'll volunteer or do something that involves being with dogs.

1,2,3) Sex

I thought you hated your family.

 

[Mayne]

I thought you hated your family.

that is purely subjective.

8) Telling people on the internet that they are wrong.

I'm pretty sure that was part of Conan's reply.

Learning how the human mind works. Is there anything as complex or as challenging?

I find mine to be very simple.

Another thing that makes me happy is humor just under the radar. But not too subtle to the point no one gets it. If you can find the line where some get it and some don't it's hilarious to see people's reaction.

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

Honorable mentions: Being on the tennis court on a sunny day, cooking a solid meal in my kitchen

 

[HeXen]

Getting things done. It's quite a rewarding feeling having something completed.
Like today I got my lawn stuff done, leaves mulched and exhausted into neighbors yard..etc. Put some decor up in the house, changed the furnace filter, swapped out old toilet seat for a new one, put up a new glass shelf in the kitchen...yadda, yadda. Now it's all cleaned up, ready for winter and presentable for the holiday visitors.
All that's left is to buy thanks giving food items, clean out the oven and microwave and some odd and ends stuff.

What a pity.

I already know, but I won't tell you so you can have fun with it too.

I recommend you read phenomenology of perception

 

[TwiceOver]

Sex.

That small moment when my son does something cute and not asshatty.

 

[shortylickens]

When she swallows.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

When she swallows.

Yea, I hope your mother keeps taking her food too .

That dusty old tome written in 1945? I might as well go read the bible.

Good point: Start with Ecclesiastes
