Thanks Salve for visiting. Salamat po ate Loreta sa pag invite hehe.

I was expecting that response. Salve, it’s safe to say that you were greatly influenced by society because you changed your perspective. Yes having a family your priorities will definitely change. I have pointed that out in my other post that inspired this entry. I guess I must finally say that the goal of this post is ideal.

Ideal it maybe, but I’m living by this ideal inside my head. It’s my other self. hehe

hmmm..interesting ang topic nyo..well life…..well when i was not married i enjoy being alone…no problems around…i can decide what to do and do the things i want, but it’s kinda boring at the end….that gives me contentment , satisfaction or i can say happiness for a while..but those things are really temporary but i get to enjoy the moment though. now i fell in love, got married, have kid :D the question there is ..am i still happy? of course i am….we may say that happiness is relative, yeah i guess so, depending sa attachment mo sa tao…or your love ones…but that doesn’t mean that if you are attached you will have suffering, depression etc. etc. yes problems are there and always there…small or big nanjan lang yan, but come to think of it…..will you be able to say that you are happy if you have not suffered loneliness or sufferings? the thing is, you can’t say that you are happy if you haven’t felt those negative emotions.

lorie bilisan mo pag migrate sa WP :D

Daks, sorry I can’t comment on your blog. I don’t intend to join Multiply.

Ate Lors, get moving with WP already hehe. Mahirap lang naman akong ikumbinse kasi hindi ako nagpapakumbinse :D

Jessie, este Mar, ayaw gumana ng wordpress account ko kapag nagiiwan ako ng puna sa blog mo.

Thank you Mhar for seeing that my conventional reasoning is also rational hehehe. Just because you’re siding with the majority eh di ibig sabihin na you’re limiting yourself. Pero syempre si aovaron mahirap kumbinsihin. And Mr. V I’m getting the impression that you like absolutes, and absolutes are almost impossible to attain. Yay new blog to read :) Ms. Daks.

Happiness is definitely relative, but my point has been “will you be lifelong happy with others around?” My answer is NO.

reading comments…
@lorie, i like how the way you express you though medyo may pagkaconventional pero parang ang dating eh rational sa akin, @si aovaron wala ako masabi sa kanaya. highfalutin kung magbigay ng opinyon. lakas din mangasar. @kay daks ok din dating nito sa akin ah “i think one’s idea of happiness is relative…what makes me happy, may not be what makes you happy.”… oo nga kanya kanya lang yan ng trip.

Exactly, I find happiness to be “in the process”. When I finish something I feel satisfaction/relief but after a while I get the “What now?” feeling. I accept the human condition of always wanting (or doing :) more.

“End justify the means” - I was merely contemplating the idea, I actually disagree with this. I find ideas fascinating but I don’t necessarily believe in them.

I venture outside from time to time but a person cannot live outside all the time.

I can see that this is going to be a never ending debate huh?

hehe! i dont know, my mind is swirling. these musings remind of the buddhists, cuz, have you been reading easter stuff lately? anyway…

1. im thrilled that you provoked people into thinking and reacting, hehe!
2. the existentialists said that a human being does not possess freedom ,we ourselves are freedom. we are condemned to be free. so you, I and the rest of humanity do have a choice and to make things worse, we also do not have control over our time here on earth, everyday is a movement towards death. the moment that a person is born, he is already moving towards death. its probably the reason why we are anxious and despairing and why we feel forlorn
3. “Man does not grieve because of himself, he grieves because of another.”—-i agree, sartre also says HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE. of course you know this. hehe

with regards to happiness? i think one’s idea of happiness is relative…what makes me happy, may not be waht makes you happy. anyway, times have changed, this world is no longer the world we knew a decade ago, the ONE UNIVERSAL TRUTH is lost, we already have a plurality of truths. cge sulat ka pa…isa ako sa masugid na mambabasa.

So you are contented of being “in the process” always. What happened to “end justify the means” business? If you’re always in a process, there is no end to justify the means hehe. Maybe I should rephrase “you wouldn’t be able to live life to its fullest.” I think that’ll take care of the semantics :D

Now when you say you “were taught” that way is a problem of convention. I’m sorry, but I hate convention. Convention prevents you from thinking outside the box. Don’t you want to venture what’s outside the box?
