They say happiness is a relative state of mind. Some of us would be happy living in a tent, while others would be miserable living in a palace. What’s really the meaning of happiness. Is it a balance between need and satisfaction? Or between that which we desire and that which we receive? Is it having a loving partner? A sports car? A fat bank account? A healthy beautiful body? Diamond Jewelry ????.…

However we define happiness, one thing is for sure: We know it when we don’t have it. True or Not??

In any case, how do you rate how happy you are??

On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the happiest!!!

On the happy scale of 1 to 10, I reckon I am a 5...

However I find "being happy" to be so momentary...the state of joyfulness is so much better i.e. - a feeling of euphoria for life that does not get altered through emotions, circumstances etc

Or maybe I am just a stoic at times with unalterted emotions and unmoved by joy or grief....

Hence I did rate my self as 5 presumably in your scale worded as "Just feeling fine"

You don't say how happy you are Tom Jones. Anyway are you the singer or the book?

I'd say I'm 7. Not much upsets me. I would like more money. I think money is important to happiness at least in my case. I love traveling, good food, and taking classes... all involve money. I also like paying things on time and having no debt. If I could have a rich husband with my humor, good *cough*, and a couple of healthy kids then I'd be a 9.5.

I reckon I'm at about 2 at the moment, although don't think I've ever been above 5.

1 (one) (un). Bitter year of poop and discontent. Met some good folks here though, I rate them a 10.

Keep your spirits up Dog. Your a resilient one.

As the saying goes, a rich man is one who has everything he desires. Two ways to approach this one, either try to have everything, or try to desire nothing.

I'd say, on a good day Im an 8, usually more like 6. Dubai can be a miserable place at times.

Friends and family: 10
Apartment: 8-9
Weather (not summer), sports and leisure activities: 8-9
Air quality: 4
Summer weather: 3
Job (and threat of ban): 1-0

I would say 7 .
A month back was 10 , Just broke up you know....

I'm 4 days into quitting smoking : Happiness = -147

4ish - kinda fed up at the moment!

Yup right now I'm about a 3. I spend alot of time being 9/10 as I'm pretty positive but I've had a hellish day. Am SO ANNOYED with this country's naturalisation and residency services right now. But anyway, tomorrow will be better.

so happy because some numpty gave me a shed load of cash for my last appartment and thank you to the good ole US of A for that lovely green and so very very strong dollar.

Glad to see there is one very happy person in here (Arnie)!

Well,..I’m about 3-4.

Still depressed over the big bundle I lost this year in the stock market and in 2 miserable hedge funds --which means I have to stay over here a little longer than I had hoped for (YUK….!!!)

Just finished talking on the phone to my mother and sisters.

Now I'm down to 1 or 2.

Feeling melancholy … because I sure miss home during the holidays!!!

Wish I was there.. (DOUBLE YUKKK!!!)

I'm quite happy, say 7 would do

Increase that to a 3...opened a can of whoop a$$ on my HR dept tonight.

Arnie, I was just remembering that thread a few months ago about the future of the property market. You were spot on my friend, glad I never dove in.

I am evenly happy and sad all at the same time.

Its easy.

I am drunk.

All the time!

Thanks mate, i have been saying the same for the last 18 months, but certain people (here) were insisting that no one could know.

I gave everyone the same advice in 2007 and 2008 in that they would be fools to buy. With hindsight i was correct, and indeed anyone who has bought since 2007 will have lost an awful lot of money.

I even told Chocs both on here and via PM to not purchase in The Cube. Sadly she ignored my advice.

My next prediction is the rental market will collapse during 2009, as more off plan completions continue to flood the already flooded market.

My Rating: 3


Because I missed my TV show

You have seen my PM. Drop the overt content. You have the option to edit these posts yourself, I advise you to do so.

Alternately, go play on the freeway or find another forum to sully with your juvenile posts.

Project, you will note I made no reference to you ethnic origin and I don't care if you are black, white, yellow or green...Its the content and nature of your posts that I take issue with.

Get the chip off your shoulder, the smut out of your posts and grow up.
