What do u seek: Happiness or Peace?

I dont think i will ever be happy in this life, unless anhedonia meds come out. I’d like to just be at peace: with the universe, with god, with disability, with social change. When u have true peace nothing is ever really that bad, just inconvenient.

I seek functionality. Everything else I need follows from it.

Happiness is fleeting -like a happy child. Peace lasts until some defeatist comes along and defeats you. Then you have to hope you recognize what happened and get back on track.

I would like to fight for happiness.

I guess peace. Lack of peace is stressful and triggering. Without peace Im not sure I could be happy.

Just looking to survive. I made some attempts at happiness and they fell flat. Other things like video games are easy to do and I spend like 1-2 hours a day on it.

Peace. Because when I lose my peace I’m not happy. And lastly I do many things today and live in a part of the world that have always made me happy , but without peace your so discontent even the happiest of moments and the things that define you, aren’t full without peace. Happiness is just an emotion but peace is a lasting happiness that stays like the above states

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. I want both.

I fight for freedom! Not for peace! :sunglasses:

Like Braveheart…

I’m seeking both, and also the ability to be healthy, functional and be able to do the things I love to do.

I think peace…I feel happiness is sometimes too much of an extreme for myself and seek contentedness with myself and my situation. For some reason whenever I experience real happiness I am wary of the deflation that follows it.

One, and then the other.

yeah…I don’t find them mutually exclusive…why not have both!

Rogueone.

I have peace as in clear conscience.

You don’t always get what you want

I am peacefully unhappy.
I am grateful for everyone in my life and all the things I have. If I find out what it is that I want maybe I will still be unhappy.

I guess I think I mentioned this once. I experienced such euphoria and trauma during psychosis that ruined my happiness. I feel like a normal person but unhappy compared to the euphoria.

Can I shoot for mania without the psychosis?
