The more I think about it, it seems that long-term happiness is something many people spend their lives seeking OR they believe it’s something they used to have and lost.

That makes me wonder if we are truly ever happy? Or if it’s something that is always just out of reach (in the future or in the past).

    This isn’t a a debate.

    You expressed something in a public forum. That doesn’t give you rights to remain uncontested.

    I gave someone a suggestion on how to be happier that has scientific basis showing it works in doing that.

    Yeah, science also proves that certain drugs make you feel happy. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to use them.

    I hope you can find peace in life

    Nah, stop lying. You don’t care.

    if you’re this hostile to someone bringing in something you dislike.

    It’s not mere dislike. Religions are mind poison, they’re actively damaging for society. The US are turning into Giléad due to religious influence. Other countries suffer gravely due to religious nonsense.

      You don’t win people over by getting upset at them. I can only hope you find peace in your life eventually. I remember being in my militant atheist phase.

      Good luck.

        It’s too late for that. At this point we’re stuck with damage control.

        I can only hope you find peace in your life eventually.

        How presumptuous of you to think you know what I need in my life.

        I remember being in my militant atheist phase.

        What’s your current phase? Stoned-to-the-gills, new-agey feel-good hippie?
