Do you believe that happiness is only real when shared?

@SW-User Good point. It makes me think about something else; the notion of thrill seeking and feeling alive. Why do we require a trip to Mount Everest in order to be able to perceive one moment of reality? If you could become fully aware of what existed in a store or some room, I think it would just blow your brains out. I have done a lot of traveling across the country, a lot of adventuring, and there are times where I have felt more on top of the world, more alive, more excited alone in my room creating something. It's quite possible to do all sorts of things like traveling and journeying and at the same time be completely dead inside. I mean, isn’t there just as much reality to be perceived in the store or room as there is on Mount Everest, I think that not only is there nothing more real about Mount Everest, I think there’s nothing that different, in a certain way, I mean, because reality is uniform, in a way, so that if your perceptions are, or your own mechanism is operating correctly, it would become irrelevant to go to Mount Everest, and sort of absurd. But the problem is that people can’t see the store or the room now. I mean, things don’t affect people the way they used to. I believe it has something to do with the fact that society crushes peoples curiosity flower, which conditions them to believe that they are bored. Boredom really is just a self-perpetuating, unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money.

@SW-User I think reality is very subjective, and everyone perceives it differently. For someone, Mt. Everest is not irrelevant because that is very much a part of their relevant reality. And for someone else, the storage box holds as much joy or thrill. For yet another person both Mt Everest and the storage box could hold a different kind of joy, one not negating the other. It is whatever that makes you feel that pleasure and it cannot be standardised.

People who want to see will still see the joy in simpler things but these are not the people who make news, so to speak and are less in our awareness but they exist. A lot of people though, for now, find their joy/thrill in ways that perhaps we do not understand. It is however sad that it is further from nature, and due to whatever forces there may be.
