Let you know when it happens.

For the most part the more active and nicer you are the happier you will be. Yeah yeah you get taken advantage of, you know the same result if you are a lazy asshole.

Your insurance company is going to deny your claim, your stuff is going to break down, you will be ripped off, you will be injured, you will be robbied, and eventually you will die. All of this stuff will happen in your existence and there is fuck all you can do about it.

What you can do is stay active and stay giving. You can surround yourself with people who very much want you to be happy in life and your happiness almost completely depends on it.

So go ahead and make your decision. Do you want to pass judgement on a world that doesn't care what you think about it and rot with whatever pathetic little you have or do you want deep connections and a lifetime of achievement.

This is good stuff! I love me some positivity

While I don't fully disagree with this, I do disagree with the happiness being dependent on this, as that is highly subjective and is not true unanimously.

Why tell me? Tell all those shrinks and psychology professors who have been doing endless studies on this for a century.

Turns out Aristotle was right all along. Took us like 25 centuries to relearn it.

I tell you because you are the one that actively brought this point to a place of discussion.

Fine. I would start reading with the PERMA+ model

[-] Raab@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I'm aware of it. Although I am starting to lose belief that positivity is how you operate, strictly judging from your responses. Nonetheless, have a nice day.

Don't think I made any claims about myself

[-] Raab@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Your statements in your original post are enough to go on, I'm not here to insult, just an observation.
