Utama, ohhh Utama

What is happiness? Is it some kind of extreme emotion or is it ordinary? What is it that make one happy? To be able to live the life one desired, or to live through life rollercoaster uncertainty?

Guru Chicksentmehighee describes it as "being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost."

Is he sure that happiness is of what he described?

I think happiness is a heightened state of being, like you feel very different and genuine, real you know.

I heard of this theory called 'Reverse Psychology'. It means that you do something opposite of what you desire. So when i want to be happy, i should make myself sad. It makes sense right? But then when i am happy and sadness is undesirable, can i be not be sad? However, this is a situation where i should be happy cause i'm sad, happy to be sad. And it make sense, no?

God. Just these two state of emotions can create a whole fuss about living. Everyone wants to be happy, can it happen?
