Just curious does love and happiness really exist or is it a thing of the past...

Of course it exists. People are happy and love their mates. They rarely hit the six o'clock news but sure they are out there. All kinds of happy matches in Mingle over the years I have enjoyed being here. Found a couple of my own. Sure you could.

happiness is a staight of mind

and yes there are lots of happy people out there

best wishes on your hunt

They exist, but they sometimes get lost in the mess of the present and worries of the future.

If you forget your expectations and accept the world as it is, then only you can be happy.

I will say that happiness like being depressed is contagious.

If you have hit a valley in the good life the best thing you can do is get a couple of people or a pet and go to the park with a Frisbee. Toss it around and camp it I up a little even if you have to fake it . Pretty soon someone will be having a good time and it will rub off on you.

When people see happy people they gravitate towards that. Even if it is not something overtly aggressive or hilarious. You can take a stack of news papers and read the funny paper to your dog and make origami animals or airplanes and people will wander over. Heck borrow some guys salt at the lunch diner and I just bet he will start talking to you.

Carry your Mingle 2.com screen name on cards and give it to someone you want to talk to. You are a pretty girl and I guarantee if you perk up your profile you will get mail.

Smile and they whole world smiles with you whine and they just want you to go away.

Yes.
It can even be bought.

You just have to buy the right things.


Whenever this question is asked it seems really arrogant to me.

People have been pair bonding and loving each other for thousands and thousands of years.
But to believe, what, in the last 200 yrs, 100 yrs, this generation, that everything is all new and people have completely changed making the entire history of mankind and relationships redundant?



Unless of course you are referring to the whole disney or princess bride or baird-invented-to-get-into-the-simple-minded's-pants concept of love like it's a transformative experience.
As though a star falls from the sky, having plummeted from the lake of celestial love, piercing your soul, all of a sudden colors are brighter, birds sing to you and clean your house, a man worships you doting happily on your every whim, and you walk forever in a haze of perpetual bliss, with no problems except those you can feel good about solving, which are solved because of the magic of love, which never diminishes, fades, or allows any other emotions unless they are positive to be experienced.

That never existed.

i agree with oyu does it exist anymore or is it all about money in a relationship

There will always be the dollar whores who sell out , that is nothing new, but at least with the world getting smaller and more people watching they are easier to see and dismiss.

Yes it does exist.... And I found it in here....

I feel you need to discuss out your problem

Let's split this up...
Happiness
Is a state of mind for the person that wants it does. We choose to be happy no matter what. We can be going through a really crappy life storm and know that deep down we are happy, maybe not content with life at that moment but we are a happy person. I don't believe anyone can make me happy that is my responsibility, they can add joy and fun to my life brighten the grey days, but again I can't stress it strongly enough happiness comes from within.

Love
Absolutely I believe in Love..
Love doesn't just fade away in society it may between two people, but love exists...
A person may kiss a bunch of toads before they find the One... If they take the time to smell the roses keeping their options open it will come usually when it is least expected...

Yes, when one opens one's heart to friendship and love a new beginning can occur.

I believe love and happiness do exist, but they are two entirely separate things. One does not need one to have the other. Although when found together they often strengthen the bonds in which they exist creating a greater whole.

Of course it does.

yes ofcourse happiness exists but we have a misconception on where to look for love and happiness. we seek love and happiness by looking outward, we search outwardly for love and happiness and never find it, the secret is that love and happiness is found by looking inwardly, it is already within us.

They both exist but you have to look for them and fight to keep them... You cannot just sit and wait for them to come to you...

I met some one here and he has brought into my life so much happiness and love.....

But I had been on the search for a long time...

Do not give up!
