everybody wants a magic pill (philosophy)

If I was offered a pill that could make me happy for the rest of my life, I would not take the pill. The reason I would not take the pill is because the pills are going to run out. The truth is that being happy is as easy as 1,2, and 3. All a person needs to do to be happy is to surround themselves around people who want to be happy. A person does not need a pill to be happy. A person does not need a drink to be happy. But, a person may need a cigarette to be happy. cigarettes or electric cigarettes open the mind and allows someone to see things that they was unaware of before. They make you think about things that really matter like life and death.  What a person really needs to be happy is to think happy. It is hard to think happy when you are surrounded by people who think unhappy. In the end, a person needs to think happy and surround him/her self around people who want to be happy.


Could I be happy if nothing in the world changed? I do not think I could be happy if everything stayed the same. If you watch the same movie everyday, you will get tired of it and throw it way. I would probably get bored if everything stayed the same. My life needs to change because I want it to change. I won’t know who I am if my life stays the same. I won’t know where I been and where I’m going if my life stays the same. I need to see things change in my life. I need to know who I am. I need to know how far I can really go. That is why I want things to continue changing in my life. I feel like I’m looking for something in my life. It is something that requires a lot of failure and searching. I want to see things change because I want to know that I am who I say I am or I’m at least half of who I say I am. In short, I want things to change because I want to know who I really am.



Response:

I agree, if a person is happy all the time, they will not know when something is finished. They will not know right from wrong. They will not know when they will feel happy or sad. They will not know who they really are. I think that would be really sad to drug yourself and wait to die.


I agree, happiness must come from within. If does not come from within, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Do you really need a million dollars to be happy or to get away from people. Some people are good and caring. They are very hard to find these days but are worth finding. You should only look for them when you look for people.
