    1. There is certainly more sadness than happiness in the world. It all happened when the forbidden fruit was eaten sadness took over the world. So now we practically have to 'look' for happiness whereas sadness is everywhere. True happiness is Golden when you find and as we all know Gold is hard to come by.

Linda dear maybe ur too busy to notice he's nt bin commenting, dunno oh! Just wot I observed and u caused it lin, u made pple hate him. Stop posting d lil boy's pic calling him hottie of d day! Pls find out where and what's wit him biko, b4 he does sumtin stupid. Onyx where are u? I noticed r absence, I won't pretend I didn't see dat. Nobody hates u, we all luv u ok? Linda find out where he is, if he's serious wit his studies now, dats beta but I just want to be sure he's ok. I feel 4 him......am sure most of others does. He's nt happy. Ogwugo ka oha mu na onu!

    3. You blind. So no see sey he don comment already. This is the problem with Nigerians today. False friends and pretentious fellows. You didn't even check to see that he has commented and the poor boy is fine. You just went in there so people will think sey nah you care pass. That's linda is why there are more sad than happy in this world. Because friends and some members of the family don't really care for use. Jesus said it's only a really friend that can give his own life for another friend.

I like him, even though i have never met him. He has a kind heart, and its so glaring to see. I hope he hasn't been bullied into depression. Onyx, i love u!!!

    9. My God! WILHEMINNA MOSES! Can you just shut the fuck up about Onyx already? A lot of people are sick of your dimwitted display here. If he comments, you and your stupid minions will attack and insult him. But you've been stalking him and you noticed his absence. Now you love him? After all the hate you usually spit at him? Are you not the chief mocker and hater of Onyx? Hypocrite of life! You're so stupid I wish I could see you right now and smack you in your dumb face with a shovel covered in shit !! It's like without Onyx you don't have a life. You're obviously the one who's sad and fucking bitter. *spits*

If u love onyx cum out plain and say it and stop sulking. I said my mind and dnt freaking care wat u feel or tink abt it, u gat dat? Steve my foot! Maybe u'll undstand where am coming frm wen almost every libers attack u wenever u comment! Dnt be angry I noticed his absence ok?

  3. Personally I think there are more sad pple in the world bcos a lot of pple in the world don't know how to be happy with themselves and that's a major cause of sadness and depression..... bn poor is sad enough but u find out a lot of rich pple are not happy with their lives.....

  9. Yes there are more sad people than happy people due to everything happening in this our world on daily basis.Everybody want to be happy either one way or the way but devil doesn't give away.For example someone you both chatted together last night and the following morning he/she is dead.Let even say something about the boko haram viral killing.A lot of people have been killed.many lives have been lost.will the family of the decrease be happy or sad..the ans is no...I think sad people are more than happy people.Right now am also sad.We lost a gospel singer today which is kefee.One of the best gospel singer in music industry.may her soul rest in peace..I think we all need to be prayerful in everything we are doing and also seek for God guidance

  12. Linda, i think there are more sad people in the world. As the rich becomes richer(happier), the poor are getting poorer(sad). Even those that claim to be happy are sad deep inside due to one thing or the other. Well, the power to be happy lies in our individual hands cos no one has the power to make us sad unless we allow them. Happiness matters alot so we should try to be happy.

  13. Hmmmm Lindiway this ur question is thought provoking.
    First I don't agree there exists people that are permanently happy or sad.
    Being happy or sad is a state of mind. Someone derive happiness from what makes others sad,vice versa.
    Then putting into consideration recent happenings around our world,take for instance our country,u'll find out people are prone to being in that sad/moody state of mind more.
    Lindiway its not a one way traffic ish.

  20. yes there are more sadists...some people prefer to be sad...they have a doomsday aura about them...they think "why should i be happy with all this suffering etc in the world?"

    meanwhile there are others that are a ray of light and offer hope to those who are genuinely downtrodden, they see out joy and it reminds them that they can climb out of their situation too.

    i dislike sadists

    asabe stop being sad pls...God has blessed you in so many ways...give joy and happiness a chance

  26. I think there's a conscious effort to keep struggle in the world, when there is a choice to make life easier. So, I will say there are more sad people in the world because of the present world order. It was made this was for a reason, just to create stratification, and control.

  54. To be honest with you, I think there's more sadness in the world. A lot of people are sad due to several factors like poverty, unfairness between the poor and rich, even the rich is also sad because more money, more problems. We just need to call on God to be our helper.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I think there are more sad people than happy people. I say this because more people seem to be living or pretend to be living a life for social media. There is less quality and quantity of face to face interactions. People smile mostly for the camera for selfies & usies and go home lonely or are just plain lonely in a crowd.
    In Nigeria specifically, mostly people are trying to be "better than their neighbors" going through and taking shit to acquire shit they don't need. They can't sleep cos they are worried about protecting and maintaining all these things...haboring insecurities cos they are concerned about "my things are better than yours".
    Social media is the main cause as everybody's business is in your face on instagram, Facebook, Twitter...etc if you aren't strong willed and focused it is easy to start feeling inadequate comparing yourself to people in different environments and circumstances than you. This trend of so many people that feel less due to the constant pressure of social media has most people feeling sad when they have lots of reasons to be happy.

  71. I don't agree there re sadness is more.sumone once told me that very little is needed to b happy bt most pple see material tins has happiness. Cos dis material things makes lookers(permit me) believe it happiness thereby sending msgs that creates sadness.everybody wanna b rich bt the rich also cry and sum wish tins wud ve b diff if dey re nt that rich..we all sud also b happy that we re alive and healthy.sum re fighting for it,dos fightin for it re praying to b alive cos dey don't wanna die which is the end of life...very little is needed to b happy only if we can embrace it.sum re complaining abt boko haram,der is war yet pple stay der where dey expectin war to b friendly?a smile wud ve brighten up sumone's dayi,a kind word wuld ve mended a broken heart,appreciation wud ve opened more doors.dat little change wit u wud ve fed sumone,dat line in a lyrics might b an answer to sumone's problem.we re all in dis world bt we can't all b a comfortable bt we can help ourselves to save the day.

  81. Linda, first is to define sadness and happiness? To be Able to prove the percentage of happiness to sadness a research has to be done to get a correct analysis. No one can categorically state that happiness is more to sadness. Although with recent happenings in our world today, one can argue that sadness is more. Still yet people still go to clubs, parties and social gatherings happily. I argue that if the world is really sad, parties and social gathering should be extremely low now. Looking at happiness/sadness from a layman's point of view, u will be shocked to see that the percentage of happiness is more. Sadness does not stay for a long period, but happiness is an everyday process. Every man and woman tends to work and live towards achieving happiness. And yes we still have sadness but it's just for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I share in your thoughts Bonario. Being sad or happy is a state of mind. Sometimes people make you feel sad with the kind of words they utter and at such times some persons acts like the insult or comment didn't get to them, but deep inside they are pained. In my honest observed opinion, there are more sad people in the world than happy people.

  84. If out of 68 comments the majority agree that there is more sadness? Ha problem dey o! Even YOU Linda, people look at you and think it's all hunky doryl with you. Look at you, you seem so happy and well off. I mean you are rich making a living off making some people sad that should make you happy? People look at you and say if I can only be as rich as Linda I would be happy! But if you agree too that there's more sadness then na real wa! Happiness and sadness are relative emotions, what makes someone happy may be what would make someone else sad. So on a scale it's equal to me no one is more than the other.

  85. I reckon a lot of pple are sad because of sad and difficult situations. Moreso, pple think that being rich and accumulating wealth is the key to happiness- so wrong. Being in a state of happiness irrespective of what u have is a decision u make urself with the help of God therfore make up ur mind to be happy at all times and ask God for help- does that mean that there are no times we feel sad, no. Mourn with those that mourn and rejoice wit those celebrating, overall, leave ur worries with God and do what u can do in life and, what u have no control over is the Lords, let him sort it out. Be Happy
