How can you be happy?

How can you be happy, when there is so much bad in today's world? It doesn't make sense you think of the good and it just gets drowned out by all of humanity's evil!

Because, no matter how much pain you or anyone else is feeling; there will always be a bit of happiness. You just have to search for it. LIfe meets no one half way, if you want something; you have got to go out and get it. And remember, there are always hundreds of others suffering ten times worse pain than you are.

thats a good question.. how can you be happy even tho you tried and cant stay happy for so long...
you probably ask me why im not happy. well im only happy for a little time.. but i still dwell on the past so im not a happy person most the time

Because I don't dwell on the bad in the world.

What you need to do is focus on the little bit of good in the world. If you focus on the bad, it will only make you upset or depressed. Think of the things in life that you love. The things that bring a smile to your face.

well i'll tell you something after my world crashed and fell down ive found it so hard to smile . and even thoguh i know it will always hurt to smile i still find the courage to be happy . not to be negative and try to forget about the world and focus on my goals . i know it is hard to find courage in youreself expecially when it took me a long time to find it i still now there will always be a part of me that will be happy

Because I try to let any moment's good sweep me away. I make split second decisoins, act on some urges and keep myself entertained and happy through that simple silliness. Like the people above me, I try not to dwel on the past... I keep myself bussy, if I have nothing to do you'll often see me repeating some circal of tasks over and over and over again, simply because it keeps me from thinking of those days where I wasn't happy... Keeps me from thinking of the misery people around me are feeling, be them friends or some distant person in some other country.

I can be happy, because I don't think... Just act and do. When thoughts overwhelm me, I have to sit down, and even then my thoughts fall into a ruitine, and I try to return to happy... Slowly I reach content. Happy may seem distant, but I'll get to it eventually, and until then hope should keep me from doing anything stupid.

Didn't cause it.
Can't control it.
Don't worry about it.

We can choose how we relate with unhappiness.

Kim really answerd this this well, no matter what bad there is in the world, there will always be the good to out weigh it!
and if you cant find it maybe you just arnt looking hard enough.
There is a posative side to everything, i believe!
no matter how unlikley it seems!
