Quote by: GSM:Xtreme  "True happiness can only be realized through absolute freedom." Do you agree or disagree? I agree with it 100%.
If you agree with that, here's a quote came up today in lunch you may find interesting, while discussing the illuminati. "Freedom can only be achieved in death." Unfortunatly, I also agree with this statment.
So the disturbing part, can true happiness only be achieved in death? Note, I do not believe in an afterlife paradice or anything. Scary thoughts surly, but if you agreed with the first two quotes, can you reject my point? |
Happiness is related to one's satisfaction of a desire or wish. It is possible to have happiness in sound healthy painless mind and body only. Then since one never gets all the wishes fulfilled, question of true happiness (If it is meaning absolute ) is not even theoritically possible. See, to have desire to get absolute happiness itself is a desire, which never gets fulfilled. How is true happiness possible ?
Coming to state after death, nobody has come to know that, so telling true happiness after death is possible to attain again is out of question to apprehend. However, happiness works beyond physical body such as in dream so might occur even in bodyless state after death.
Then, concluding happiness is always relative compared to sorrow as pointed out by Jack. Also hapiness/sporrow is possible in dream, it might be possible even after death if lifes after death exists.
