basic requirement for me to continue living as a kind soul.
unhappy people often end up being bitter and they rarely make others happy.

i think they love themselves more tha n anyone / anything else. occasional bursts of unhappiness on a normal day is okay, but being unhappy all the time is not normal.

Why we tend to remember sad moments more than happy times?

we do? we should always remember happy moments and thank God we had those! Some people are deprived of those moments even!

what is more important for happiness to love or to be loved?

It is important to love. Over 90% of the times, it will be returned and you'll be loved in ample.. Love completes me and is prime ingredient of my happiness. I have met bitter people in RL who cannot love anyone more than themselves. Even their kids are secondary to them. I would be very unhappy if I were that kind of a person. Happiness to me is to love and cherish.

they badmouth everything surrounding them. they will never LISTEN to something the other person wants to say, but will continue to misunderstand and accuse. They constantly complain that world is full of liars and cheaters. they sometime pretend to praise the God.. but use Him to show others down. Unhappy people are never happy with SMALL and KIND deeds others do for them. They are so busy being unhappy, and upset with life, that they FAIL to IMBIBE happiness in little things. Nothing seems important unless their demands are met. usually, the latter never happes either 😆😆

Happiness is something which comes from within.

There are happy and sad times in everyone's life and it is part of life. As long as we learn to accept them and cherish them for what they are we definitely can have smile on our face 😊.

Negative people bring others down along with themself 😔.

Even though one could be loved by everyone but for some reason if there is no self love they will feel unhappy, not content and miserable. In that process will make others around them miserable too. My 2 cents 😳

What is happiness to you ?😊

to see my loved ones happy and content, to be loved by people who matter to me, to see my parents so proud of me. In a nutshell, my happiness is deeply connected to the well beings of my near and dear ones

majority of people are unhappy or atleast percieve themselves unhappy .. is it more normal to be unhappy ? 😊

I don't agree. when look around me, i see majority of people happy...may be not content....still happy. No, it is not normal to be unhappy all the time. We all have our moments but if someone is unhappy all the time, they should seek professional help.

Why we tend to remember sad moments more than happy times?

auron ka toh pata nahi but I tend to remember happy moments lot more than sad moments. Even when I think about my late grandparents and father in law, I remember the fun times I had with them rather than the sadness their demise brought to me. That feeling of emptiness will be there and I miss them dearly but I always remember them with a smile on my face.

what is more important for happiness to love or to be loved?

both I think. Loving and taking care of my near and dear ones makes me happy...so does their love for me. I am a die-hard romantic and sweet nothings make my day...at times make my life too by motivating me to do something positive for myself. I love to be loved and love in return😊

Happiness to me is having enough of all that I want.😃

Well our wants are unlimited but resources are limited. So, it's but natural that people will feel unhappy about the wants that remain unfulfilled.😛

Why we tend to remember sad moments more than happy times?

Don't know if it's true, and if it's true then I don't know the reason.😊

what is more important for happiness to love or to be loved?

Both. If you don't love something/someone, then you're not completely happy with them; if you're not loved then you don't feel contented.😊
