breathing and consciousness

i'd have bet on unconsciousness for you.
really though id like to know at least what a few people think

 

[Zeyla]

What other people are saying about me. Whether I have a cat around. If I feel safe. If I'm warm.

having a hard time answering my own question, no wonder no ones answering. feeling free (not being owned by a country via taxes, ss#, paper trail, documentation and not havin to work for anybody), is my answer, but im going to think some more. hopefully i come up with something thats actually possible

Feeling 100% physically safe. That would be my Utopia.
Unfortunately I don't think that can ever be acheived while living in this screwed up world though.

thats even closer to it! i agree with you. i always kept in my mind "not having the risk of being fired, kicked out school, losing your living" and mixed it up for freedom, plus not having to be documented or have to deal with people, but really thats about safety too.
except i know you mean more physical than psychological. blah! you know what i mean

Well since I still don't feel truly happy, I'll avoid this dangerous question.

What are you trying to achieve with this question?

Health, absolute freedom of the mind, knowledge

One's happiness depends on themselves.

On whether I've lived in a way that is congruent with my beliefs. Virtue, honesty, courage... etc. I'm old school I guess.

Knowing my Daughter is content and in good health.

What are you trying to achieve with this question?

nothing
i regret most of what i say and ask. i had in my mind, a lowest standard for happiness, or minimum qualifications and what would that be? but now the question doesnt even make sense to me

Unconditional romantic love from a person to me AND to that person from me. (And yes, I'm well aware it's a fairytale.) ::

awwwwww, thats so sweet.
thats a very cooperative bunny rabbit in your avatar by the way.

GOD and ART....definitely.

GOD is the most essential, because even if all else was taken away from me and I was left alone, in a jail cell, cold and hungry, I would always have hope. Hope that God is with me and has a purpose for me and that ultimately all that I'm going through will be for the best.

and with ART I've often found that when my art is going well, it doesn't matter if everything else in my life is falling apart, I'll still feel excited and euphoric, whereas when my art is going badly, even if everything else in my life is perfect, I'll still feel really frustrated and miserable and unsatisfied.

Hmmmm. Maybe being more ignorant would make me more happy. Makes sense, right? When I was a kid and didn't know anything about anything life was pretty good. Probably a bit more productivity would help too. What is essential to any kind of happiness I have right nowwww is basically little moments of gratitude and awe.

Nothing is unconditional... except maybe taxes in some countries, since they tax you whether you can pay or not. Hmmm...
