i believe if we created such a thing, it wouldnt be true happiness and there would still be suicide.it would most likely just act as a dopamine injector type thing. people woulnt actually enjoy their lives, just the rush of "feel good" until withdrawal, ignoring their needs in life to maintain the "high". kinda like video games or TV does currently. just to a higher extreme.

@GuyWithOpinions if there was no withdrawal but bliss all the time ?

@revenant you dont get happiness from material items. happiness is an emotion. you create it and spread it to others. its contagious if you allow it to be. and if people are open to accept it.

@GuyWithOpinions sure but people want the feeling no ? and some people have really miserable lives with nothing to give them joy

@revenant people have miserable lives because hate is generated the same way. media advertises how to hate and who to hate subconsciously. the easiest way to keep a population in control is have them fear everything deep down. if everyone, for just one full day, spent their time trying to be happy and considerate of others. the power of that day might end conflict globally and open everyones eyes to question themselves.

@GuyWithOpinions very very true but you as one man cannot change society. You can only change yourself

@revenant exactly. if everyone thought that. people would change themselves.

@GuyWithOpinions what about those people who just cannot ? very depressive, even suicidal..can they change themselves easily ?
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@revenant the way society is at this time makes it very difficult for people to believe in themselves. no. its not easy. but everyone is capable of change. some take longer than others, but everyone has different lives with different level of pain. there is always light at end of the tunnel. never let it go.

@GuyWithOpinions oh I am fine ! but some people are so unhappy they turn psychotic or take their own lives. Not everybody wants to be all philosophical

@revenant were are backed into a corner at every turn. how we handle it depends on the integrity of the person. this is why there are different progressions of lives. i believe suicide is the last desperate attempt to be free of pain when loosing hope of every seeing happiness again. a person doesnt need to understand all the laws of the universe to find happiness. its an ability all beings have but its hidden from us and untrained. we are instead taught about some old men that ruled the world and and how to buy things.

@GuyWithOpinions yes but what you are saying : many people would not care. They would want relief now

@revenant thats the way we are trained to think. every time you buy a usless item cause its on sale, everytime you get a notification on facebook or eat trash cause it tastes good. this is just all short burst of dopamine. thats why we do it over and over and over cause it feels good. doesnt mean its good for you. this state isnt natural to us. its been projected on us for the benifit of a small group of people. scale of worlds finance: 1% filthy ritch - 99% worried of scarcity. people are depressed because we are forced to live lies when deeply we know this isnt right. if the illusion was lifted and people understood their true selves, we would find love. not agony.
