    Arisia Vita: The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way.
    Aphrodite Macbain: and to understand what happiness means to each of yout
    Aphrodite Macbain: smiles at Arisia
    Samúð (oo0oo): :) Thoroughly enjoys Ari's line
     
    Happiness2.jpg
     
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): so many ideas about happiness
     
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): each interpreting in their own ways
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): any common ideas amoung all?
    Tess Aristocrat: I had thought of making a piece of art, and though I did not, I thought if I did, it would be like a collage of so many little things.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Wol Euler: /me nods.
    Zen (zen.arado): happy collage? what's wrong with that? ;)
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): like a hologram, Tess? - - or perhaps a fractal? -- an infinite geography?
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): would anyone like to talk about their piece?
    Storm Nordwind: /me listens
    Zen (zen.arado): mine is easy
    Samúð (oo0oo): /me listens
    Aphrodite Macbain: but deep
    Zen (zen.arado): just see through the things that make you UN happy
    Tess Aristocrat: like...like an old fashioned collage you would see where someone glues many different pics and cutouts from magazines
    Zen (zen.arado): finished :)
    Second Life: Marianne McCann is offline.
    Agatha Macbeth: A kaleidoscope
    Tess Aristocrat: yea..
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Nice, Zen :))
    Aphrodite Macbain: thanks Zen
    Sun (sunshine.vayandar): ;)
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): are we always sure what makes us unhappy/happy?
    Aphrodite Macbain: no, sometimes it's a surprise
    Zen (zen.arado): no that's why we need to keep investigating :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: Usually very simple things make me happy
    Wol Euler: /me nods.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): things right in hand
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): are we always the best judge of what makes us happy?
    Second Life: Marianne McCann is online.
    Zen (zen.arado): principle is simple..practice takes a while...
    Agatha Macbeth: If we're not, who is?
    Samúð (oo0oo): great questions :::nods:::
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): can we know the happiness of others?
    Zen (zen.arado): only roughly
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): :)
    Sun (sunshine.vayandar): a smile is a good indicator ;)
    Zen (zen.arado): vague concept anyway
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes I think at times one picks it up
    Aphrodite Macbain: I think so Bleu
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): just as these weeks there has been a bit of contagion as more and more projects were placed
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): any one come up with a definition of happiness?
    Aphrodite Macbain: sometimes happinessis cumulative and enduring
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): happiness is contagious!!
    Sun (sunshine.vayandar): ;))
    Zen (zen.arado): methinks it can be transitory and fleeting too
    Aphrodite Macbain: a gift that keeps on giving?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): "and never decreases by being shared" ... Buddha quote
    Tess Aristocrat: and...to see the infinite 'good' in everyone/thing around- Like, when you see someone that is acting out, acting angry for example, that is not who they truly are. 'Acting' is the key word and the core being is naturally content.
    Aphrodite Macbain: indeed Eliza
    Zen (zen.arado): good one Eliza ;)
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): nice!!
    Pema Pera: /nods to Tess
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Tess that fits so well with Zen's notion yes yes

    Bleu (bleu.oleander): can I talk about my second piece?
    Agatha Macbeth: Please do
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): please do!
    Samúð (oo0oo): "The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. — Victor Hugo"
    Agatha Macbeth: snap
    Aphrodite Macbain: Happiness is the ability to take pleasure in the pleasure of others
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)))
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): It's not installed on a stand
    Aphrodite Macbain: lol
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): it's in my avi's head (some zooming required)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hahaha
    Aphrodite Macbain: It's being able to wear a silly hat and not feel silly
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): and it's about thinking positive thoughts and having concern for the well being of others
    Storm Nordwind: haha - nice one Bleu!
    Sun (sunshine.vayandar): ㋡ Bleu
    Zen (zen.arado): recipes for happiness or actual happiness?

    Aphrodite Macbain: listens
    Wol Euler: /me smiles.
    Agatha Macbeth: Every picture tells a story as they say
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): says something about the social aspect of happiness?
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe, I hadn't thought of it that way
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): ... people who need people?
    Agatha Macbeth: It is what it is
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Aphrodite Macbain: being with people you care about is a wonderful happiness

    Aphrodite Macbain: That is a real compliment
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Eden uses the phrase intuitive backchannels and I love that to describe the way we stay in contact and connection even when we don't see one another...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): wander through the wiki, etc
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): loved that phrase also
    Wol Euler: /me nods.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): endless overlaps
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): [done]
    Second Life: Ewan (ewan.bonham) is online.
    Storm Nordwind: /me can also mention a couple of things ... he's written them on a notecard to save typing time! - if anyone would like to hear?
    Wol Euler: yes please
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): please Storm!
    Agatha Macbeth: Fire away Stormy
    Pema Pera: hear hear!
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): wonderful pieces!
    Storm Nordwind: :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes please Storm... have so enjoyed your works
    Storm Nordwind: Firstly, I know I have four exhibits, but it was difficult to stop once I started!
    Wol Euler: :)
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): amazing
    Sun (sunshine.vayandar): ㋡
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
     
    Storm Nordwind: he first is the ring of rose petals called “I am happiness” that contains a short autobiographical poem.
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): intimidating
    Storm Nordwind: Oh I hope not!
    Storm Nordwind: The second is the dice cup called “Origins” and describes the surprising origins of the word “happiness”.
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): awe-inspiring
    Storm Nordwind: The third with the lotus and the magnifying glass is “The Science of Happiness”, and it contains a link and transcript of a TV program describing some recent research into what makes us happy.
    Aphrodite Macbain: Love the ring of roses. So simple and elegant
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): yes me too
    Storm Nordwind: Thank you :)
    Storm Nordwind: That was the first... and inspired by the rose petals I put here for a friend! ;)
    Storm Nordwind: And the fourth is the thermometer calibrated in degrees of compassion and degrees of happiness, and it contains the same recipe for happiness that is on my profile.
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): lovely
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
     
    Happiness1.jpg
     
    Storm Nordwind: Secondly, I asked my teacher whether he would like to comment. This is what he said…
    Wol Euler: I liked the thermometer particularly
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): /me listens
    Storm Nordwind: "I am Lokeshvara. You may know me as Kuan Yin, or Avalokiteshvara, or many other names.
    Storm Nordwind: You know happiness by what you feel, and it comes and goes.
    Storm Nordwind: But what is real happiness?
    Storm Nordwind: Looking around this exhibition, you can see many exhibits that show affection for life, but if our source of happiness falters, what then?
    Storm Nordwind: When we put others before ourselves, when we show compassion for all, as much as we can, we touch a deeper happiness, a happiness that is always there.
    Storm Nordwind: When we step forward in faith in that happiness, and take ourselves out of the picture, we can find a new dawning of awareness.
    Samúð (oo0oo): *
    Storm Nordwind: Bit by bit, we find ourselves immersed in that awareness.
    Storm Nordwind: Sadness comes and goes, but we have a permanent reference point for what is real.
    Storm Nordwind: We do not become happy; we become happiness.
    Storm Nordwind: We become aware of the happiness that we already are!
    Storm Nordwind: Thank you for listening."

    Aphrodite Macbain: Or are we all one, interconnected system?

    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): /me feels connected, for sure.
