Thanks to everyone who contributed to a great discussion last night after the movie about Happiness. We hope to continue the same blend of the personal, philosophical, and spiritual discussion through comments on this blog. Feel free to share any thoughts and opinions you have about happiness, how the pursuit of it manifests itself in your life, its ultimate meaning. Below are some questions related to what was discussed last night among the 10 or so who stayed after the movie to talk:
Is there a point in time when you thought you were happy, but looking back on it you actually were not?
What is some event or thing that makes you happy that makes very few other people happy?
For you Matrix fans: The red pill vs. blue pill question. On a practical level: Would you be okay with having a sense that you are somehow deluded about life or about yourself if the delusions were comforting? [Recommended reading: H.G. Wells' "Country of the Blind"]
Do you feel more happy now or more happy when you were younger? What events/points of view affect your happiness across long periods of time?
Keep an open mind, be willing to act and experiment... With wishes for a more fulfilling life for us all,-- Let the conversations begin!
