Success Happy

How happy do you make others?

How important is the happiness of others to you? How important is your own happiness to you? How do you balance the two? Do you think that social conscience and intelligence makes one more inclined to be happy or unhappy? can I have some answers from non-sociopaths too please hehe

3. I know I make some people happy. And sometimes I make people happy but don't realize it. But do I know the difference of the deliberate and the accidental? There are those in my life I want to make happy and I plan ways to do so. And there are times I'm in an exceptionally excellent mood and I'll share that with strangers. The "accidental causing of happiness" is when I simply go about life doing what I do, or posting something publicly, or publish something without deliberately trying to cause happiness in others. In these incidents in life, I have no intent to cause any emotion. I find out how others feel about my actions if they choose to let me know. When I try to cause happiness in others, I would like them to feel that way. And I do enjoy sharing good feelings, be they mine or others good feelings. I prefer to feel happy than depressed. I am being flip about using the word "depressed." I am bipolar (fortunately controlled for many years now), have clinical depression, and PTSD. Therefore, I know all the ranges of happy and depressed. The question of how to balance one's own happiness with the happiness is odd to me. It implies that one would have to give up some of one form of happiness to achieve the other. I truly enjoy it when I give a present to someone and they smile as they open it. I'm happy to plan a party then watch everyone enjoy it. Ah, the last question. I've seen this one so many times. And the standard answer is.... "more inclined to be unhappy." why? because if you have a social conscience, how can you be anything but unhappy with the state of the world? and if you have a higher intelligence, then you are more able to understand the misery of the world so of course you would be unhappy. And I think that's crap. One can be extremely socially conscience yet still be very happy at working to overcome the problems of the world. Or take joy in the simple things of life such as a cat purring on your lap or listening to a bird sing. And one can use one's intelligence to find ways to be happy. The inclination to be happy or unhappy is rooted in how one chooses to live and one's brain's biochemistry.
