They really made me think. I'd have to say that finding your purpose is probably harder. Often times happiness can come from the smallest of things. But I also believe that people would be so much more happy once they do find more purpose. I think that a lot of people haven't found their purpose, unfortunately, because they don't want to. But I think more people haven't found purpose because it can take a lot of time and work. I hope that they can eventually figure it out though. -Andrew Thanks so much for sharing your answers!

I’d have to say that finding your purpose is probably harder. Often times happiness can come from the smallest of things. But I also believe that people would be so much more happy once they do find more purpose.

I think that a lot of people haven’t found their purpose, unfortunately, because they don’t want to. But I think more people haven’t found purpose because it can take a lot of time and work. I hope that they can eventually figure it out though.

But personally, I believe the personal touch makes it all the more fulfilling. 2) Religion in the hearts of people never does bad, when used as a tool, that's when the problem begins. I guess, like the way it is with science. We used to be asked this question in school: "Is Science a force of evil or good?" To look at it in another way, if there was a world without religion, people would need something, some sort of support - call it religion or anything else. 3) Nah. Without conflict, how would we have great drama? Shakespeare and the like? :-P But ideally, it would be great if a generation could think like that. I wrote a story on those lines as a kid. Conflict, yes. War, no. 4) Yes, I hope so. 5) Middling. with parents who gave me firm ground below my feet and gave me wings to fly.On second thoughts, rich, well, at least rich enough to have a buzz about myself and by being confident in myself, create positive vibes around. 6) The switch will happen. It has to. There are lots of forces at play - political, economic, and I really don't have the answer. 7) There should be a 'Happy Hour' on news channels. If people didnt crave positivity, why would they be reading and commenting on your blog?? Sometimes, negativity does make one feel better that someone else is worse off than me, but in the end, that feeling doesn't last. I think everyone would love to see lots of positivity profiled. Genuinely human stories. Maybe that'd make us all think better thoughts. But I hope not at the expense of covering up truths. Ugly though they may be, truths need to come out. 8)Um, do we really believe in them? Not really. But we hope against hope there'll be someone with true vision, and we always want someone to be inspired by. 9) Wants, mostly. 10) Well, with so much of negativity profiled everywhere, what do you expect? Sometimes they may even be happy without being conscious that they are. 11) At the moment, as far as we are aware, yes. (Now who knows what some other species may be thinking, and posing the same question?:-D) 12) Sharing some of my talents without self-consciousness or pridefulness, without ego, passing on happy messages to lots of people 13)4 hours a week, if I was getting bored and stifled. 14) Travel, take lots of photos, share them around with people, friends, family, interact with strangers, know more about their lives, write about stuff, and live with a sense of wonder and urgency. 15) Not yet Now, I have only one question for you. I read the comments of most of the people commenting on your interesting question list. Most of them said 'No' about finding their purpose? So which do you think is tougher? Finding your purpose, or being happy? Or are they interrelated (you get one, the other follows?) And then maybe when you are least thinking of it, your purpose will come calling for you, and you will know what exactly you are here for! How wonderful if that were true. But I really wonder, why have so many people out here not found their purpose yet? And does it bother them that they haven't? 1) Both ways could work, Depends on amount of time a person can spare.

2) Religion in the hearts of people never does bad, when used as a tool, that’s when the problem begins. I guess, like the way it is with science. We used to be asked this question in school: “Is Science a force of evil or good?” To look at it in another way, if there was a world without religion, people would need something, some sort of support – call it religion or anything else.

They were great! This one really jumped off the screen at me: "Misery loves company. It is easier to feel sorry for someone than to celebrate their successes with them." It's so true. -Andrew Hi Madeleine,

Thank you so much for sharing your answers. They were great! This one really jumped off the screen at me:

“Misery loves company. It is easier to feel sorry for someone than to celebrate their successes with them.”

It’s so true.
