Happiness
You're beautiful just the way you are and don't ever change...
The biggest lie I have ever been told
Because when you say that
What you really mean is :
Your nose is too big
Your eyes are uneven
Your eyebrows are to bushy
And your lips aren't even the Same color.
We have become monsters were lying has become the truth
And we blame it all on society...
But WE are the society
Hypocrisy has become an accessory
We wake up in the morning and throw on some hate and bullying and pair it with some jealousy
As little kids we would hop on the sidewalks
Trying not to step on the cracks because we didn't wanna break our mama's backs
But as we grow we no longer care
We walk on the cracks NO we STOMP on the cracks
As if hidden in between lays hopes and dreams
Our world a savanah where we prey on the weak
I breath but I am suffocating
I thank God that I'm alive
But I am already dead
I run from all my predators
Only to fall flat on my face
But even when I am down
I keep falling...
Falling to a place where
Happiness is all but a myth
A myth so believable I swear I can hear...laughter and joy....
But it is all a myth
Because someday Peter Pan WILL grow up
And caption hook, will be the least of his worries, but LIFE it'll screw him over
Forgive me for not believing in fairies
Why do you think they call it neverland? Because we will NEVER LAND In a place where happiness is they key to eternity.
Forgive me for growing up
I'm sorry for everything
I am sorry homeless man at the corner of east Hastings
Because my pair of true religion jeans were more important than your cries for help
I'm sorry useless hair ties on my wrist and bandanas on my table
Because hats were my only comfort
Because hair was EVERYTHING so I had NOTHING
I'm sorry Roy Seo because my hair was never good enough for you,
Medusa you'd say...
I stopped looking in the mirror because I feared I would see the monster that terrorized you
Don't look into her eyes

    What Happiness Is

    In the short essay of “What Happiness Is” by Eduardo Porter, he gives explicit details pertaining to the complex word, happiness. In its own term, happiness is defined as, the state of being happy. According to Porter’s findings on happiness, he says that psychologists and economists believe this: “Most psychologists and economists who study happiness agree that what they prefer to call “subjective well-beings” comprises three parts: satisfaction meant to capture how people judge their lives measured up against their aspirations; positive feelings like joy; and the absence of negative feelings like anger” (457). Porter suggests that this does exist and that because it does it helps individuals through certain times, like: hardships, economy, family, country, sickness, and even death. He is saying that because happiness exists, individuals are able to overcome obstacles in their life, and are able to live longer and healthier. Porter does focus on the main issues and key abstract views of the word happiness. He covers important issues, by giving detail; he talks about the views of psychologists and economists’ views. “ In 1980s a new discipline called Prospect Theory—also known as behavioral economics—deployed the tools of psychology to analyze economic behavior” (458).…

    How Do Adult Interpret Fairy Tales

    But the lessons fairy tales teach are in many cases relevant for adults. Today most people see fairy tales as children’s literature, but this has not always been the case. Once fairy tales were an art shared by people of all ages and social classes. Children often play and make up their own stories, they use their imagination and fantasy is a part of their daily life. The way fairy tales are built up appeals to children because it gives them an opportunity to learn and understand. Children need guidance. One of the ways fairy tales can teach children things and entertain them is by guiding them through the stories. Fairy tales are for everyone. They are stories of the people; their roots grow deep into our roots and society. Though we have changed their original purpose and associated them with children stories, they aren’t any less meaningful. Fairy tales simplicity to read is very much so misunderstood when it comes to morals and meanings as they mean so much with so…

    Happiness Enough Already

    In respects to being a popular work, I personally find Sharon Bergley’s article, “Happiness: Enough Already,” to be rather good. Firstly, this article is easy and interesting to read. Secondly, it contains the points of views of different authors. And thirdly, its information is generic enough to be relative to almost everyone’s life.…

    What Does It Mean to Be a Man or a Woman?

    A theme the tragedy of Macbeth routinely reveals is one of gender roles. Throughout the play, many characters struggle with conflict within themselves; not unlike conflicts that we face inside ourselves today. Various major conflicts throughout the screenplay are somehow connected with characters’ roles as men or women. The dominant question is, do the characters know who they are as men and women?…

    Happiness Definition

    What is happiness? Marketing and media have brainwashed people’s brain into believing that happiness means to own possessions such as cars, big houses, or brand new devices among others. Unfortunately, this overstated fable is far from real. In fact, most people misunderstand that happiness is a choice that lies inside them. Weather to be happy or not, is up to any individual to choose as they please. Namely, true happiness is no more than a positive attitude, a good healthy habit, and life meaning.…

    Happiness Explained

    Jane McGonigal is a prominent game developer who has dedicated her recent years to developing games that try to help the world out instead of just entertaining a few. In the tenth chapter of her book Reality is Broken, she argues that happiness levels in the United States and around the world are alarmingly low, and people are very depressed. She then introduces a term called “Happiness Hacking”. McGonigal herself defines it as “…the experimental design practice of translating positive-psychology research findings into game mechanics. It’s a way to make happiness activities feel less hokey, and to put them in a bigger social context”. (McGonigal. Reality is Broken, pg. 188). In other words, McGonigal believes by turning ‘weird’ happiness activities into games, more people will start to perform them since the new generations have their minds set into games, so anything game-like they will enjoy. She cites many researches in which subjects thought happiness activities were awkward to perform, corny, and believed self-help didn’t work. I agree, because after reading I came to my own conclusion (and thinking back into my life as well) that indeed, when you are sad and some one tells you to smile, all you think is ‘please shut up’. So what can makes us be happier? In her book, McGonigal maintains that “The two most frequently recommended happiness activities across the scientific literature are to express gratitude and practice acts of kindness.” (pg. 189) Her point is that to make our selves happy, the best way is to make someone else happy, because this is rewarding to our brain. She came up with some games that will remove awkwardness and shyness from these activities, like killing someone with compliments and stabbing them with a smile, or uploading a video of yourself dancing with a mask to make you feel better with the positive feedback people give you without revealing your identity.…

    Pursuing Happiness

    Don Lucas tells you about what is happiness and how you distinguish the positive emotions of happiness, pleasure and contentment from one another. What I believe is the purest form of happiness is when we’re infants and as we grow into a bias exotelic we feel the need to be content. Not being content causes society to constantly pursue happiness. For example, nothing is enough for us so we strive to be the best in our society by having the biggest house, the most friends and the highest paid, self-fulfilled career…

    Routine: Shower and Agatha Undress

    I left to work. The sun had already scorched my car by the time I got inside. The steering wheel felt particularly hot. I drove towards “The dangerous curves” a hill north from my house. I drove to route 23, and I stopped at the Clinton's road where I threw a penny into the lake for good luck. Immediately afterward I proceeded to the dangerous curves. I drove my car steadily through the steep slope until arriving at the “Clinton's elderly nursery home”. This edifice is from the 19th century. Today is my first day at the Clinton's nursery home.…
