I'm pretty close. After a few brushes with near-death about a few years ago, I've straighted myself out. How about anyone else? -007 |

truly happy with themselves: I like my self most of the time(not when I have hangovers though) their family: Yep and their overall life: Not right now. I'm summer working at a home for old people. The payment sucks and most of the time I change dypers(sp?) and dry 'that brown stuff from the rear' on the patients

With Self? Nope With Family? With Overall Life?

Dammit! Of course not. But I had deluded myself into a feeling of false happiness and here you've gone and snapped me out of it! Thanks a lot! :P |

Happiness is irrelevant. It is better to have knowledge and consequentially, less happiness, rather than ignorance and happiness. I know too much of myself to be "truly" happy. However, I understand and accept myself, so that is not a problem. Family? eh...no comment. Overall life? Not "happy", but accepting of it. |

For a while I wasn't, but then I learned to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bones, for they warp the matrix through which we percieve the worlds. I extended my awareness outwards, beyond the self of body,to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. I also learned that the goals of the group and the greater race are transendent, and I embraced them and achieved enlightenment.  |

I'm happy with my family. They still let me mooch off them while I go to a local college. |

As you might have guessed from the suicide thread, I am not happy. I will always have periods of deppession. Especially when my beloved is moving, so I can't visit for 9 months....sigh |

Nope. I have a lovely wife, but my job's ****, my mother has Parkinson's Disease and I've always been prone to angst. I think about suicide every day though (thank god) never been driven far enough to attempt it. |

That auto-censorship feature doesn't make me any happier. What kind of prissy mentality adds that? |

I am not truly happy. I have been the victim of modern marketing. Advertisements got me down... I go now. |

Am I happy with myself? Not especially. I have good traits and bad traits, and I realize that I focus too much on the bad ones. Am I happy with my family? No. I'm the first person in my family to attend college, and I'm paying the whole way myself. My family is constantly baiting me to quit and "do something with my life". I'm a 20 year old CS/Bio major. If I'm not "doing something with my life", I don't know what the phrase means. Am I happy with my overall life? Yes. I have a fiancee that loves me and I love her. She fills much of my life with a happiness that was not there before she came into it. So, I am happy. |

I dunno why, but reading all that made me feel better about my life. Is that a bad thing? I like me. I've got my flaws, but I have no problem with them. I think this is a symptom of being a teenager. My family is great. End of story. I haven't lived a long time, but I'm quite happy with everything so far. And I know I'll have a good future, because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me. |

You know what life really is? You're born, you suck your mother's tits. You get a little older, you suck your girlfriend's tits. You get married, you suck your wife's tits. That's what life is. Life sucks. |

You get a job- you suck The Man's phallus.... You get sick- You suck on a ventilator.... You die- you suck death's mouldering tits. |

you are truly happy once you are happy with yourself. when you are happy with what you are you can try to be happy and you truly will find hapiness. |

I always wondered what an asphyiaxted demon looks like. O.K. now I'm happy with half of my family, so now I'm up to 2 and 1/2. |
