Default Action for happiness
On the news tonight the Dalai Lama was advocating we go to happiness classes, would you go to them? I think I would.

I don't need any class to teach me how to be happy. I am already happy.

This is something that i would love, it's funny because i was talking to my daughter this morning about happiness.

I told her that it's more important she finds a life she loves regardless of money and possessions.

Regarding the course, yes, it's a course i would go on

Can't stand happy people.

Why can't you be a depressed realist like me.

No amount of courses will make some people happy, just the same as no amount of money will.
You are either a happy sunny natured person or not.

I don't believe that, I would say there are ways of rethinking things positively that you might naturally but a negative slant on.

Agree. When I've been sad in my life, no amount of chanting, drum-banging, being-at-one-with-the universe could have changed that. You have to go through it, I think. And hopefully, come out the other side.

I agree with Smudgie - we are either 'glass half empty' or 'glass half full' types and no amount of lecturing will change that.

If we actually met, there could be an irrestible sexual and intellectual attraction between us, who knows?

In which case I'd convert her to the Right.

Sorry Kaz - got to go - a pig's just flown past my window.

(and NO Cam wasn't running after it. )

I don't think many have grasped the concept of mindfulness... either that or someone is trying to derail the thread

I agree with Kizzy, happiness courses aren't just about learning to be happy, it's about knowing whats important, about getting priorities right, it's about releasing hurt and pain and coming to terms with it, it's about looking at things differently, and accepting what is.

Although i would definitely be there for the drum banging Livia
