Is happiness a delusion that is synthesized or is something that we actually feel? Happiness can be forced or created, but it also can be an emotion that overcomes us at a different points in time.
People may think they are happy, but they really are just telling themselves that because they either don’t know better, nor do they want to find out. As humans we sometimes synthesize happiness by telling ourselves that we are content with what we have. You may not have the newest cell phone, but you synthesize happiness and tell yourself that your phone is better and make up reasons why the one you don’t have isn’t the best choice. People tend to question our happiness as well and then we ask ourselves if we really are happy. We may be tricking ourselves into thinking we are happy.
There are two sides of being happy, thinking that it is an emotion or thinking it is a delusional state that we enter. Happiness is what we feel when something or someone makes us smile or feel a positive emotion. Happiness is also questioned because people might say someone makes them happy and cannot explain it. People slip into a state of delusion and are unable to explain why they feel the way they do.
