Tim and I were studying humanistic principles about happiness tonight. We made a list for each of us of what makes us happy. But here are my issues:
1. Happiness seems pretty relative. Example, if I worked really hard on something, whatever I do after makes me feel happy. Is it the work or the thing after that made me happy? Do they have to come together?
2. I always have two lists. What makes me happy AND What should make me happy. When did I start being tortured by the what should make me happy list? I don't think everybody has this list. Did it come from church? Or is it in me, and so I looked for church? Maybe we are supposed to have a what should make me happy list. See? It's a big fat circle.
3. And can something be on my makes me happy list and my I shouldn't do that list? Does guilt actually change the list? Does it just make the list feel guilty? Can we be happy and guilty at the same time? Does the guilt kill the happy? Should your list be your honest true self before guilt?
So I'm still working on it. What makes YOU happy? And do you have to have a "what should make you happy" list?
