The Emotion "Happiness" (#42)
Happy is defined by Dictionary.com as:
1. delighted, pleased, or glad, as over a particular thing: to be happy to see a person.
2. characterized by or indicative of pleasure, contentment, or joy: a happy mood; a happy frame of mind.
3. favored by fortune; fortunate or lucky: a happy, fruitful land.
4. apt or felicitous, as actions, utterances, or ideas.
5. obsessed by or quick to use the item indicated (usually used in combination): a trigger-happy gangster. Everybody is gadget-happy these days.
This should be taken into account : Definition is only supplied by a societies acceptance of the word itself. So, the individual can actually distort the word itself and thus happiness becomes a word used only in its context by the individual using it.
BUT, as I intend to write upon, everyone knows by intuition when they are happy. Or do they? In a general context most people know what is implied by happiness or what it means to say to be happy, but what most people cant understand is that, as one of the definition above says, to be happy is to be in a state of contentment or state of pleasure. If that is what it means then technically you can be happy at any moment, happiness becomes a mindset. If happiness is about being content, it is possible to be content while being completely pissed off, or extremely sad, or bored.
The idea of being happy that your pissed off sounds completely contradictory, but it is not altogether impossible. I used to say "Man I love it when im pissed." And logically it is a contradictment, because the emotions happy and "pissed off" are different, thus one may think it is impossible for those two states of emotion to be the same in the human mind at one single moment. If happiness is a mindset, then the mindset can be manipulated to understand that you can simultaneously be content while being pissed off; you can be content that your pissed off, or you can be content that you are sad, given the situation is good enough to justify your feelings to feel good about being angry or sad. All in all, you can be content that you are pissed off, thus happiness becomes possible at any moment in time.
Many people think logically that if your not a happy person you must be depressed, or a horrible individual, but that is not correct as I pointed out. Our society breeds us into thinking that if we are not a happy person then theres something wrong with us that must be fixed. Society breeds us into thinking that if you dont look or appear happy you are bad. If someone is bad, they must be avoided, right?
So the mentality that if your not happy, then you must be bad, can produce many people to avoid others out of their first assumptions, and even try to hurt or betray you as an individual; thus a form of conflict arises. But theres many solutions to this problem. The idea that our society thinks that "to be happy" is only possible from one source of reaction situations, and that the emotion happiness cannot be attributed to other emotions or feelings is a false sense of what the human mind is capable of.
