Any ideas?

Why do things worsen so much when someone tries to be happy? Why does it seem like no matter what anyone does, things only fall more apart? Why is happiness an illusion and not a reality? Why can't people overcome greed, lust, and hunger for power? Why are humans so cold hearted? Why should anyone even try anymore? Answer any of those questions that you want to, and be able to back it up if you really believe in it.

Actually yes, but then again.. I laugh at everything that I can. Brooding on things is what causes wars and blah blah blah... But people do that anyways, so I laugh at them to get my own life going.

Sorry for the mishap. Anyway, it's funny how people automatically assume you are Christian.

I'm Pagan, I don't follow Wicca directly. I actually follow aspects of many religions... I follow the Norse gods more than any other ones, and being more specific, Baldr and Freyja.

Isn't it funny how people are talking about god to you when you are wiccan? Anyway I used to have the motto "aim low and avoid disappointment". That usually helped.

Wow. That's a lot of questions. I'll try one by one.
1) You shouldn't have to try to be happy. Happiness is a state of being; it's a mindset, but one worked at. When you are happy, you are happy. Your perception is warped, all the events you perceive are interpreted by your happy-drugged brain. Equally, when you are (__sad/angry,etc__) the same effect applies. But if you're trying to force yourself to be happy, you are interpreting events with your sadness-brain and trying to mull them over and morph them into happiness. Kind of a convoluted example, but the best I could think of.

2) Murphy's Law- what can go wrong, will go wrong. The more you try to keep water in your cupped hands, the more it seems to slip out. No matter what, it will slip out anyway. But because you pay it so much attention, it seems more so.

3) Happiness an illusion? No more than depression. Perception is reality, and as I said before, easily warped.

4) Fuck optimists, it's human nature. Why do you think laissez-faire economics works so well? Because every man is out for his own interests, and when they are at stake, it is incentive to do right (basically.) The more you have, the more you want. If you were given a million bucks, would you buy your family a nice house and yourself a car, or would you give it to the homeless coke-head down the street? Is that greed?

5) I wouldn't say humans are cold-hearted. They just look out for yours-truly first and foremost, and people view that as cold hearted. Like the above-example.

6) Why should we try? Well, why not? That's like saying "Since we're going to die someday, we should all commit suicide now." Ahem, the point of death is to make life sweeter, since it is so fleeting. The point of sadness is to make happiness more fulfilling. If you were happy from the day you were born to the day you died, you'd never know it.

And that's all I have to say about that.

And for the people that for some reason think I'm describing myself, I'm simply asking opinions. If I wanted advice for myself pertaining to these things, I would ahve stated it and put it in the advice chat collum.

Dude, first off... I'm Pagan and I follow the Norse Gods, not Allah. Second off, life is a test of fate, not the gods. Humans make their own destinies, and fate is here to mess it up when it seems to be going best.
