In your opinion were we born to continuously create situations that allow us happiness OR is our natural state of being to be happy?

For me it is our natural state of being to be happy BUT we are endlessly unhappy and trying to create happiness because we have convinced ourselves that we are always lacking and need more and more and more. Why? Because that is how my parents did it, how the community does it, how our religiousness orginizations do it by preaching for us to focus on FINDING ultimate fulfillment and joy in a relationship with God. Attempting to find your fulfillment in God is a continuous searching thru your desert of unhappiness. If you understood that happiness is your nature you would not need to search to find this God that is on his or her pedestal somewhere far away.

Are people naturally bad?

11 Upvotes

Lately I have been wondering this and I am writing this before I chose a Reddit thing to post it on, so let’s see who future me picks. Anyways,

I have noticed throughout my life that there are some people who stick out to me as people with this sort of aura to me that feels like they were just born a good person. I haven’t seen them be mean to anyone, and again, it’s just this general feeling that I have that some people are born good, and some are born bad.

I am not at all saying that lives are predetermine, but what makes a person bad? What gives them the idea that doing something evil will get them something good? Does someone just wake up one day and go “Hey, let’s go bully some children today!” I myself have bullied someone, but immediately after I wondered why I did that. What do I get out of berating someone for something a lot of the times they cannot control?

At first I wondered about how people are mean because of their parents, or the people they are with, but then who made them bad? Why do we enjoy the ideas of hurting someone because of a skincolor or gender or else wise? (I am writing this very late, so bear with me)

My main question is how can people believe that doing something that will hurt someone or something make any part of thier own lives better? Why don’t more people have just..empathy? I know this post is kind of all over the place, but I do want to know the though process of just being mean or bad

Is the internet a real place?

​

Do you think the internet is a real place? The interpretation of this question is entirely up to you.

The internet has so many different avenues, and how you perceive it can be completely different from how someone else does. We all use the internet differently, whether it's for social media, entertainment, news, discussions, or simply reading about other people's lives.

So, I'm curious: Based on the apps you use, the things you read, and the content you consume, do you automatically assume what you see on the internet is real? Or do you view the internet as a form of entertainment, where not everything you see should be taken seriously?

I'm interested in hearing how other people perceive the internet and how their personal experiences shape that perception.
