fang37 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I would like to buy some. I heard that it is on sale at LOTUS - this week only! Many expats come to LOS looking for a teeruk. She will MAKE him happy. Such power she has? Add to that the lady-night industry. New religion is heavily into this too. When we are sad, we take to cigs, booze, illicit drugs - I wanna "feel good" medication. Then, we strive for $$$, property, travel. Get a great job - power over others. Others are envious of what I have. Great! BUT, where is real happiness? I read that it is within. The more you help others, the more happiness comes to you. If $$$ was the answer, all the rich people would be happy. All the poor people - not so. In many cases, it is the opposite. The rich dudes desire more & have fear of losing it. The others are content with whatever they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fang37 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Sir, we have just come back from our VIP room. We have 2 Havanas left. For you, a mere B1000 each or both for B1900. Just to spoil you even more, we have searched high & low. We have 2 beef sausages - yesterday's customer threw them in our face. Low, low class - I don't like him again.

manfredtillmann Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 ...find it strange - and telling in a way - that your post attracts such few responses. perhaps no one really knows how to do that. i have met very few happy people in my life who claimed to be happy and most of them i either did not believe or i thought they had 'a screw loose'. for me, leading a happy life is having a good day every 4 to 6 weeks and sometimes 2 or 3 good days in a row. true happiness evaporated with my childhood. and so did contentment, cosiness, maternal warmth. from the moment i stopped sucking my mother's breast i embarked on a quest to find another, better one - and that has stood as an obstacle in my path to eternal happiness until today. perhaps once i finally give up on pursuing a sex life and come to terms with being an old fart, when dementia takes over and ambition fades away, happiness will kick in again??? can't wait to find out - and won't either.

zlodnick Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 First of all you need to understand that happiness is an emotion, not a permanant state of conciousness that can be obtained. happiness comes and goes, as does anger, sadness etc. If youre always striving for happiness, you will always be disapointed. Life can be crule. Some of us are dealt a better hand than others. It helps to compare oneself to those less fortunate than those more fortunate.

Kitsune Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Happiness is conscious choice at which you need to work. You have techniques such as transcendental mediation that can mechanically make you happy... by clearing your mind, getting rid of negatives thoughts, dealing with fears, etc. You become less dependent of factors such as luck/money/social status, etc, so if the shit hits the fan, you are less vulnerable.

Berkshire Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Perhaps true happiness can be found in Fang with one's teeruk! One can't be "happy" every minute of the day, every day of the year. It's more about overall contentment, comfort, accepting things as they, not having to worry about finances or health. Of course, everyone is different, so impossible to say what makes other people happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
