Yes but not in this life.

 

[PKJ]

No.

 

[myquestions]

so just say you are 100% happy, should you purposely try to be sad?!?!

I think moments of pure happiness can occur. I can remember times when I felt no unhappiness or doubt, if only briefly.

…I don’t consider ’happiness’ as Life’s ultimate goal — even from a secular viewpoint. If so we could simply add some happiness–inducing drug to everyone’s water supply and achieve it like that. Even when things start breaking down and society collapesed we’d feel happy. Does that sound like a worthy goal to you? Not to me!

Not to mention, the popular secular notion of happiness has mostly to do with "fulfilling needs" or worse, "fulfilling desires". If that is the path to happiness, then it never can be reached, because we can come up with an almost endless list of needs and desires. And in the path of all this narcissistic self-gratification, our greed spreads more unhappiness.

I don't think "happiness" is something that can be so easily quantified. It's like asking "can someone be 100% sexy? or 100% ugly?" What does it mean to be 100% happy, and how would I know if I was there?

I'm not sure what you mean by this

If you mean, "is it possible to be happy about absolutely everything all the time?", then no, there will always be things that people will be unhappy about, c'est la vie.

What do you mean by happiness?

 

[Robbie_James_Francis]

If by happiness you mean the complete fulfillment of our true needs and purpose, then absolutely. It is perfect union with, submission to and contemplation of God in Heaven.

not in this lifetime.

wouldn't you say that everyone aim in life is to be happy.
eg: progress in the society to be happy; love others and be happy; etc!

It is possible for people to differ in their average moods. Some people seem resistant to depression, whether due to natural temperament or due to an earned self-esteem that gives a sense of emotional security.

However, even such people probably experience depression from time to time. They simply bounce back more quickly to their normal mood than others.

Also, some people can seem to have a good mood, when in fact they are sad or depressed. A friend of mine is like this. You would never know she was depressed unless she told you.

Sure, just not 100% of the time. What do you think?
