---------------------------------------------------------------- This is the result of watching people for three hours and then answering the question: are we were happy? Feel free to plagiarize and what not. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The world is full of many different emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, hate, hurt, love, rage, envy, et cetera. People experience all these different emotions throughout their life, but humans are not, and cannot be completely happy, especially for a long period of time. Many plagues affect people, yet ultimately it is people, the affected and the affector, who are the source of unhappiness. One of the things that one would notice after watching people for some time is that they are very concerned with their appearance. These are people who don't and can't accept themselves and try to change themselves by use of make-up. This is a result of being unhappy . Many people live the consumer life, to make money then to spend it on useless crap. Some buy expensive clothes to try and make their appearance desirable to others. Sometimes people do this to make themselves look important, maybe because they suffer from low self-esteem. They may do it to impress others. People will change appearance to fit the standards of other people, so they can fit in. They can't be happy if they're constantly worrying about all this meaningless shit. This is considered meaningless, since the main goal in life should be happiness and cheerfulness; life is so short anyways. This method of materialistic values may make some people happy, but it can't be denied that it is a false happiness. People can become victims of jealousy and thus be unhappy once again and strive to be better then the origin of their distress. Humans are easily fooled. People can be paranoid. They can be naturally suspicious of the motives of others. Thus they close themselves off to newcomers automatically. They seem shy, untrusting to save themselves from being screwed over. Perhaps they've been backstabbed before, or a friend has suffered a horrible experience. Or they fear the stories given by the news, which speaks of rape, murder, and robberies. People don't want to take part in that and therefore they don't trust a smile thrown by a stranger, not matter how good that stranger's intentions could be. This keeps people from being happy, this constant state of paranoia. They can't trust. This lack of trust makes people seem weak and vulnerable. It is a safety precaution, but the emotions that it causes people to experience keeps them from being happy as they are two opposite emotions. They are opposite, in the sense that, to be cautious you can be trusting, but to be happy you should be able to freely trust. People suffer from several other insecurities, yet some have the habit of dragging their insecurities onto others. This causes more people to become unhappy. In essence, it is other people who create unhappiness. Other people have the ability to induce rage, hate, sadness, jealousy, pain, fear, et cetera. This can spread to others as well. The only cure is time and even though things get better, even for a small period of time, it all gets shot to Hell, once again. It's an endless cycle. Everyone can't be happy with other people spreading their emotions like a fountain of disease, destroying more happy moods. It's all the people and always the people. Emotions are inescapable. They are like this because they are natural. Having emotion is a natural function. One can deny an emotion, but that still doesn't mean they don't have that feeling. It is natural for people to be happy at one moment, sad another. If there was no sadness or hurt, one could never fully experience and praise the glory of being happy. One could never tell the difference between one and the other without having experienced an opposite emotion. It's absurd to strive to be absolutely happy as that will never work out. One usually needs another person to gain happiness and well, perhaps that one person who gives you such joy were to die. That one person would then feel another emotion such as sadness for the loss of a good friend. It goes on and on. It's a plan that works out perfectly though. One should not just let the worst get a hold of them. Of course, one should strive to be happy at all times. But let the bad times flow and accept it. There is no way for people to be completely happy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. People are there to both keep one from happiness and to give happiness. There's always something there that makes a happy moment change, you can't escape it, that's how life works.
