I know I only show up from time to time, not very regular around these parts but, when I do...I like to throw in my 2 cents and try to get people pondering.... So, here I go again...


I've been unhappy the past few months with my marriage, with my job, with most of my friends around here in Philly. I moved 4 hours from home, friends, my mom... Anyways...

It all came to a point the other day and I told her I'm just not happy. I want out and I want to be happy. It's been turmoil for the past two days and last night she made a comment that kept me tossing and turning all night. I asked a few of my best friends and thought I'd pose it here too...


"It seems you are seeking a fictitious happiness that won't ever exist. Happiness comes in moments. You can't have it all the time"


What do you all think? I think it's a lie.... I think you can live happy 24/7 and when you realize you aren't...it's time to make a change!

i think that if you endure some sadness or hardhip it makes the happiness better when you experience it. although you do have to be smart and realise when something is a deadend. life comes with its ups and downs in my opinion, so you cant be happy 24/7. but you can be contented by thinking that the bad moments will pass and focus on the happy times.

That's beautiful. I'd not heard that before. I should memorise it!

Well expressed. I think contentment is a highly underrated state.

The grass is always greener on the other side.
