Buddhism it's unrealistic to think that a buddhist would ever get angry/sad/depressed at one point in his life ...unless they were a robot programmed to life only happiness, a human with only a capacity to express one emotion is illogical, anger, sadness, ect. are a natural human emotions...to totally eliminate such emotions would make happiness obsolete; because how would we know what happiness if we didn't have the other emotions to offset it.

There are plenty of times when I've been happy. Mostly it's when I'm around my friends, enjoying times with people. Are some people on this thread saying that they are never happy? Let go of your worries when you're around your friends or enjoying your hobbies, then you should be happy!

What is 'true happines'? I think you're talking about satisfaction, not happiness. Happiness is achieved many times in life.

You can argue that happiness is not eternal, but yes you can be happy at certain times.

I can agree with that. There are many times in life when happiness is achieved. For example, I graduated from high school. My ceremony was so beautiful and best of all, I was with all of my friends on that day. That was one of the most happiest days of my life. I'm still young, so I know I'll have more days like that further on in my life.

ah-ha! something I agree with. I've been doing reading on Buddhism. I really don't understand some aspects of it, but I'm trying.

I also am not yet quite getting how there isn't an "I", but I'm trying to figure it out.

That's a good point.

You know what makes me happy? Candy. Most specifically chocolate. And good music.
