I don't know about your situation ziggy, I am sure that there are people with genuine reasons to be unhappy.

The parents of those girls that were violated and murdered spring to mind.

But as you pointed out perspective plays a part. MY 17 year old was happy on Xmas morning when he opened his present to find a new fast and powerful computer, now he is unhappy because he wants even more ram, he is unhappy because the 3 meg Internet connection we gave him isn't fast enough, he is unhappy because he doesn't have the specific $500 graphic card he wants. He is unhappy because he has to read huckleberry finn for his school work, he is unhappy because we make him feed and clean the cat he promised he would look after if we let him have it.

My advice to you ziggy is to look at your life and ask yourself what you could do to make it better....then once you have your goals it's up to you to achieve them. It isn't going to be easy and it comes down to you and nobody else.
For myself I answered the question. I can't say that life has been a bed of roses, there have been times when I have asked why me? there have been times when I have wondered why I should bother continuing..... but I did and I am happy I did.
I hope that one day you will find your happiness :cool:

You can be happy with your life and still have ambitions and aspirations for the future... ;)

Also, wealth doesn't necessarily bring happiness... :ohmy:


Addendum: I was briefly unhappy just then, because I couldn't get the Gyroball high-score, but this was offset by my happiness on breaking the 3D-Racer high-score... :)

Thanks.I watched a documentary with the same situation as your 17yold.I guess its about setting a goal and not making it an imposable goal.Lowered expectation is the key to being happy :01:

Its also good to want more.It we dint want more we wouldn't have a lot of things in life.If America did not want more then Russia,they would have never landed on the moon.
@ Jesus - accept it

Ziggy, the moon landing was faked :dry:

Shadows? Wind?1?!?!

i wrote a song about why mine sucks at nearly 6am this morning :blink:

now i just gotta get the confidence to perform it :ph34r:

I'm not where I want to be.

I'm rather manic about being more and more successful.

I want a bigger house...again
I want a 7-series BMW
I want this, I want that.

I say I'm unhappy 'cause it keeps me on my toes.
I always keep family first but I always keep pushing forward to increase my quality of life.
More suuuuuuure can help.

Ya gotta kick yoself in da ass.

I`m not happy with mine does anyone wanna swap. :lol: :lol:

Dave are you going to do an unplugged set on t`radio show. :lol:

The problem with this statement is that it fails to consider reflected sunlight. Next to the Sun, the largest source of light on the Moon is the lunar surface itself, which reflects large amounts of sunlight Also, the Earth is a significant light source. If we factor in size and reflectivity, the Earth casts about 70 times as much light on the Moon as the Moon does on the Earth, and we are all familiar with how bright the Moon can be. These additional light sources provide the observed illumination.
