Discuss: Being happy...
Being happy does not mean everything is perfect. It is looking through imperfections.
Do you believe this to be true? What about in a relationship (of course after weeding out super douchtastic behaviors)?
Re: Discuss: Being happy...
I agree.
Life is what you make it. Happiness is all about perception.
I do believe that's true, because perfect only lasts for a moment. Those moments are great, of course, but they're fleeting.
As far as relationships go, certainly no one's perfect. But that doesn't mean someone can be perfect for you -- you just can't expect them to be without flaws.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
I think happiness is something you choose. I choose to be happy everyday. Perfect does not mean happy to me. Perfect to me is having enough money to not budget when I go to the grocery store. Happy is having enough money to buy food.
In relationships I think it is the imperfections that I want someone to love about me. It is what makes me different, It means I am real, and honest. I will take that over perfect any day.
Yes I believe this.
I can't expect perfection from a partner when I know I'm not perfect. Anyone that puts up with me deserves a medal lol
Contentment would be more of the word I use instead of happy, though I would love to be in a relationship with someone with a happy disposition.
As long as the imperfections are not pulling anyone down, then yes it can be a beautiful mess to work with. That is our human experiences that make us who we are today.
I am happy because I finally figured out that I have more control of myself than I originally thought. LIfe will always have ups and downs but does not mean I have to react but rather respond and make better choices in my daily living. I don't want to date anyone who has not figured that out yet and for those who desire to never give up making life how they want it to be in a good way.
I agree. I won't ignore imperfections, but I can accept certain ones.
::Standing ovation!::
