Jordan Peterson - Why Humans Aren't Designed To Be Happy

Jordan saying this as on the verge of tears moves me more than anything else in life tbh.

If you can be happy with your self atleast you can be happy for others

Government outlawed my happiness

This video is useless

😔

Simple answer is God has created us this way and created the world full of suffering. If you cant get your head around this you will forever be chasing illusions this world provides. Because this life is a test and it is temporary.

Life doesn't care about our feelings.

Do our very best and pray that God will give us the best for our lives.

Grateful for every ease, pleasure, and enjoyment that we get, be patient with all the pain and trials in our lives.

Then may God grant us contentment and happiness in this life and hereafter.

Humans ... designed? That is biblical jargon.

"GOD … a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice, and invented hell--mouths mercy, and invented hell--mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused slave to worship him!"

-No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger

Mark Twain

Happiness is just an emotional reaction just like sadness, boredom ect
That's it...

This is bad philosophy from a non-philosopher. Just because you’re not going to be happy %100 of the time does not mean that humans were not designed to be happy. Happiness is a byproduct of a gain in power or of a gain in balance whichever you prefer. Therefore you do have some control over how happy you are and the quality of your life.

I actually believe that happiness is actually the most important thing you should strive for, and then all other walks of life will follow.

Unless someone is undergoing extreme physical torture, if they consistently seek emotional strength, seek wisdom to understand what makes them feel the way that they do, and have gratitude for what they have been given, they can choose to be happy, and their happiness in turn will make them more resilient.

However, I believe it is far more important to seek "unconditional happiness" than "conditional happiness". A person should seek a base level of happiness to have in their lives NO MATTER WHAT, not to be tarnished by outside influences. This includes their job, the screaming of their culture in their ear, their enemies, and even their family and friends. Your happiness is your choice- fight like hell to keep anyone from taking it away from you, because many will indeed try.

But, you should not allow this striving for unconditional happiness to facilitate complacency ( kind of going along with some of the video's theme). Strive to change what you can in life as much as you can, but don't let it bring you down.

To emphasize this concept, i will give my two favorite quotes:

"Yesterday is history, and tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why we call it the present."

"God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".

Good is temporary, you can be miserable forever, and I don't like temporary. I refuse to be affected by any unfortunate circumstances caused by the human plague.

Proves that these good people suffer 😂

They hate my boy Jordan Peterson,
Because he talks facts abd truth.

i'm not happy but i am comfortable, and that's enough for me.

I can’t be happy everyday

Jordan Peterson, entertain for a moment the idea that “The Game” you speak of is what everyone is already playing, and there is no need for correction.

I would like to see the true video, I don't read his books and see stupid movies scenes when he talks, stop dehumanizing him

Happiness was only made as a feeling of accomplishment. The dopamine in our brain that makes us feel happy is a kind of reward chemical that is released when we accomplished a goal like hunting down an animal or making a new discovery. Now, it has been abused in a way that causes addictions.

I would venture to guess that we aren't happy, because the Internet has created an era on enormous transparency and social media shows you on a daily basis just how mean and base some people can be. Then you feel down because you are unable to hook off social media, because you don't have too much going on for you - you have to toil and you still can't afford a house. So it's like we're in an abusive relationship with the world.

Just do it n nvr giv up n percivrence

Am happy didnt go to work 2days in a row i think will go back next month.Dont listen to jordan peterson ,his a psychiatric patient who cannot testify in any court of law.

Why does that man keep crying

True I’m nevEr happy pepole being happy are fake

Happiness is… boring. It has to be like a flash in my life. I’m only able to feel smith when I’m suffering. It gives me great boost for drawing and art is one of the most important things in my life. Happiness is overrated.

Its strange why cant we apl just be happy…? We all come form a mom and a dad..and some kind of nurturing… maybe now not everyone has the same scenario but most babies are born with some kind of love and family to know and want happiness later on… it makes no sense humans become what is told… honeslty
Peole cpuld all be happy and then probably some will be bad do then it could be clear who is evil…its uncivil actually because the real basis of society is the family unit

Most human beings are ignorant, they are after happiness (the Suffering of Change); in actually, they are deceived by happiness (the Suffering of Change). For more details, please watch the sermon of the Light of Wisdom Church, welcome everyone to study and discuss together. Video”Human Beings Are Deceived by Happiness｜The Essence Of Happiness And The True Freedom 11 ”

Dry your tears my friend

Video games release the chemical, dopamine

me a video game designer, happy and playing video games :D

Why is he always crying tho? He doesn't practice what he preaches

This whole world is not designed to be happy. Because we are slaves of our own desires. We all are becoming atheist day by day. So we will never be happy

Really nice video, the piece of content is well made. However I do believe the title should be “Human are not designed to be happy” without the why, cause he’s not really justifying, he’s more giving us other things to seek instead of happiness.

Looks like the Creator has Sent this man to Speak to us, Jordan Peterson you are Amazing

Jordan Peterson is Just Beautiful
Thank you for the light Man!

that's why God is there to put meaning in your life

I was so lost and broken but since I got into art and travelling everything has changed now I am a different person

boredom, excitement, frustration, … sadness…

it’s callee our incapacity to change ( as per our surrounding) or control our hormones chemistry…

I love this man …God sent!

we are though

I don't understand a word he says

HUMANS ARE EVIL WE ARE EVIL CANT BE HAPPY GREED CANT B HAPPY

Message to the person who just listened - Don't be ashamed if orienting your goals take time, If you feel a temporary boost of motivation from this video that fades away by tomorrow.
You're one step closer to being the person you absolutely have the potential to be.

While it made sense, it all the trembling in his voice made it seem like a video for slaves. So filter what need to be filtrered. If you are not very intelligent. Protect your mind from such videos.

It's Heartbreaking to hear him in Sadness, but he is Speaking in Truth.
Happiness coming Over to Fill the void of sorrow and much more that people do not realise

clips are not good because there are multiple different conversations in the video
