The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We've just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we're happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me.
My label, my genre, my everything is happy sad - I do a smiley face with eyes on both sides. So basically to me, it's totally okay to be happy and sad at the same time, it's totally okay just to be sad, it's totally okay to be happy.
To be happy is only to have freed one's soul from the unrest of unhappiness.
The word 'happiness' always bothered me, partly because it was scientifically unwieldy and meant a lot of different things to different people, and also because it's subjective.
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.
I think the problem with the word 'happiness' is that it sounds fluffy. It sounds like something trivial that we shouldn't be concerned with.
The concept of happiness has to be reorganised.
If our condition were truly happy, we would not seek diversion from it in order to make ourselves happy.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
For me, the opposite of happiness isn't sadness but boredom.
