Make Someone Happy

It's so important to make someone happy.

It's important to make your partner happy, but it's equally important to make yourself happy. Don't give up your own happiness for someone else's, and choose a partner whose happiness is compatible with yours.

Love is the answer.

Love is nice but it's not enough.

Simple question...are these sentiments correct?

No, those sentiments are pretty lame. Making people happy is awesome, but you should have (and be focusing on) more relationships than just your romantic one, and endeavour to make everyone who matters to you happy. I definitely wouldn't advocate "building your life" around anyone, you should already have a life that you're happy with before you invite people into it.

Sluts make me happy.

Motorcycles make me happy.

Vidya games make me happy.

But my LTR makes me happier.

So...I guess it's partially correct?

They are extremely vague.

Short term happiness is not all that useful, giving a drug addict $100 is not helping anyone.

I think it's important to share the joyous life. Don't make someone happy, make their lives, their entire lives, joyous.

The english language really needs 2 words for "happiness" to differentiate between long term and short term happiness.

"One girl you're everything to," "Build your world around her." Mutually being everything to each others. Its beautiful to me.

they were correct until marriage was destroyed

I do not control other people's emotions.

Once you've found her, Build your world around her.

I'm curious to hear what the ladies of PPD think of this line in particular. Would you ladies like your man to build his world around you?

No, as others have said, it isn't enough.

[deleted] · 2016-01-10T13:53:05+00:00

Sounds faggy.

What the fuck?

BP brainscrubbing

meanwhile feminine pop song equivalents are about having the power to choose, being bitchy etc

also lol at some guy famous enough for you to quote him here is saying fame isn't everything hahaha. It's like a millionaire telling homeless people you don't need money to be happy.

I used to believe that happiness stemmed from the happiness of others. Then I made a lot of money in a third world country and realized that sentiment was just shitty line rich people tell poor people to keep them from understanding how crap their lives are.

Not if you are a man and married.

Even if you make her happy, it won't stop her from desiring an upgrade at times.

Most women these days are collectors of experiences, not partners for the long haul.

Yep. Agreed.

Selflessness and connection is what keeps the world afloat. Even with just the universe, not just with other people. When you surrender yourself to this idea it makes you very very happy.

[deleted] · 2016-01-10T11:25:29+00:00

Love is the answer.

Nope. Love isn't the answer.

Love is unkind

Sounds like a gamma male. No.

I prefer this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_90LvU3gZU
