Happiness is a very important thing to survive in harmony. Happiness isn't profitable, tradeable, or measurable, yet we still seek it. Happiness is it's own entity; and not any living being can begin to understand or even fathom the effects it has. Happiness controls us, and our entire lives. It controls our actions, thoughts, beliefs, religions, relationships, friendships, hardships, and basically everything else that is not material about us.
Happiness doesn't control how much money we have, or what brand of clothes we wear, what type of cars we drive, or homes we live in. It's the journey and the way we conduct our lives in spite of happiness that leads us to where we are now. Everyone seeks happiness, it's a philosophy in life that can

Nobody is perfect, we all know this, and we constantly seek perfection, which we believe is a form of happiness. Perfection and happiness are two completely different things. Perfection is a person's ideal of living their life, which most believe is fame, riches, and love. All of these things can contribute to a person's happiness, but also, can completely demolish it.
What is the feeling of happiness, and how do we achieve it? A common thought in people's minds, that can't really be answered. "Happy" is just a few meaningless letters put together to form one. Happiness, pleasure, contentment, satisfaction, cheerfulness, joy, glee, delight, elation, ecstasy, exhilaration, blissfulness, euphoria, all words that mean the same thing in different ways; all described as categories of happiness.
While trying to understand it, we categorized happiness and just figured since we could categorize it knew what it was, but we don’t. These are simply words. Words don't mean anything unless we give them a meaning. Just like people. People don't mean anything unless they give themselves a meaning. God gave you a meaning when he created you. In science, happiness is a mental state determined by chemical signals given off by your brain, but this doesn't describe happiness. It means more than just chemical signals to us. It’s a deeper
Happiness is scientifically proven to infact be a real and natural feeling produced by the body, but it is up to your brain to make you feel. When you are in a pleasing situation, your brain responds to the pleasing stimuli and releases endorphins that spread through your body making you feel good. We just call this feeling happiness. In America today we associate happiness with the bigger picture such as how successful you are or how many friends you have. In reality happiness is nothing
Happiness has always been a desirable goal throughout our lives, but each actions we take might just affect the happiness of others. When humans seek happiness, we always seek for things that make us feel alive, or things that brings us the greatest comfort. Our contentment comes with the act of selfishness since we choose to prioritize our happiness above all other. We willingly classify happiness in two different types of meaning, both physical and mental happiness. People ought not be in title to happiness because it is classified in general as a physical desire by many people. Contentment is always known to be a physical satisfaction in life instead of a self-inducing satisfaction for life.
Before we look into specifics, we’ll examine the history and development of “happiness” as a philosophy. Of course, the emotion of happiness has always existed, but it began to be seriously contemplated around 2,500 years ago by philosophers like Confucius, Buddha, Socrates and Aristotle. Shortly after Buddha taught his followers his Noble Eight Fold Path (which we will talk about later), Aristotle was teaching that happiness is “dependent on the individual” (Aristotle).
Happiness, what is it, and why do we strive to achieve it so persistently? Happiness in some points of view is portrayed as the state that is derived from self-awareness of a benefiting action or moment taking place. What of the moments that are not beneficial? Can a person still find moments of happiness and success in discord, a little glimmer of light shining from the deep recesses of our own consciousness? Plucking it from a mere moment, achieved from money, or is it so much more, happiness is the precipice that all strive to gain to better perceive their success. As a person lives, they are in a constant struggle to be happy. For instance, even the United States Constitution makes reference to the idea that every person has the inalienable right to pursue happiness. This was the resulting outcome of the enlightenment from France, spilling out into the rest of the world from 1650 through 1800. This revolutionized the idea that every single person has the inalienable right to happiness or in different views the right to succeed. As to how one peruses or conjures their happiness that is an entirely different concept and completely up to their preferred preference, but it is something that a person needs to find on their own for true success.
It’s different for everyone on what their meaning for happiness is, whether that’s what establishes happiness, what people might try to do to achieve happiness, or what aspects might predict happiness. Yukiki Uchida also states, “Happiness is best predicted by self-esteem.” My interpretation of that statement is that happiness is based off of how
But in this debate, one question still raises its head - What is happiness? Happiness is not actually leading a luxurious life, but the luxury of living a life. Happiness is not actually about expanding your business, but it lies in expanding the horizons of life. Happiness is not having a meal in the most famous restaurant, but having it with your most beloved family. It does not lie in attending honorable parties, but to attend a party with honor.
In other words, happiness is not just for people who have a lot of money or in good condition such as a famous actor or a minister, but it could be for poor people or people who in bad condition such as unhealthy people or homeless people. For example, feeling happiness con be explained when someone tells funny, ridiculous things or jokes. Some people find happiness in a funny TV show, a comedy movie or they find happiness when their favorite team win. Feeling happiness is different from person to another. Secondly, happiness as a goal is hard to achieve.
What is happiness? I believe happiness to be an emotion that you get out of life. It’s just like any other emotion might feel like sadness or angry. An emotion that is gained by being around others or gained from situations in one's life. Happiness could also be gained by experiencing joy by being told a joke or seeing something that could be considered funny to one.
What is happiness? Happiness is the emotion that human creates to describe about one of their feelings. Generally, when someone happy, they are smiling, or laughing, or, clapping their hands, or even jumping. What makes people feel happy? Does money make people happy or finding their soulmates makes them happy?
According to the Webster dictionary, the word happiness is defined as enjoying, showing, or marked by pleasure, satisfaction, or joy. When people think of happiness, they think about having a good feeling inside. There are many types of happiness, which are expressed in many ways. Happiness is something that you can't just get; it comes from your soul. Happiness can be changed through many things that happen in our everyday lives.
Happiness is something most humans value above everything else. The various things in life that make us happy, such as family, friends, and cool cars, to name a few, are the very things we hold dearest to us and place the most value on. People fill their lives with things that please them to ease the gloom that comes as a result of the seemingly never-ending trials and tribulations of life. We gladly accept any amount of pleasure we can extract from the monotony of our daily lives, and we will do almost anything to achieve happiness.
Happiness is an inner state of well-being and fulfilment, and therefore it has to come from inside. Every individual has his or her own emotions and way of thinking and as a result of this no one can really say what happiness is and what happiness is not. However, universally, happiness is a by-product of a healthy attitude and viewpoint. Happiness exists in everyone whether they choose to acknowledge and believe it or not. It is not rare nor is it something only the elite have: everyone has it but not everyone recognizes it. Contentment is finding a light at the end of every dark tunnel and in order to experience this we must ignore the pessimism surrounding us and remind ourselves that happiness is not a materialistic object but a choice and frame of mind.
Happiness is a feeling that humans naturally desire. Without it, one feels incomplete. In this generation, happiness has taken on a definition by how we are presented to one another. It is measured by how much money we have, how famous we are, or the things we possess. When in reality, none of these things guarantee a happy life. Happiness is something that cannot be bought with money, but rather, it must be found, earned, sought after. Each and every one of us has our own list of things that we consider to make us happy. However, happiness shines brightest through the relationships we create, and the goals we make for ourselves to strive after. Along with these two essential sources, we then can mix and match those things in life that we enjoy to create our own unique formula for happiness.
Happiness is a feeling that cannot be broken if strong enough, no matter how much sadness or hate is around you. Happiness can come from the smallest thing, for instance, music makes me happy and can easily change my mood, or when I am doing something I love my mood is easily changed. For others it could be whenever you do something well, or right and get recognition for it. It is the easiest feeling to be spread and given out but often neglected and forgotten about which is something we should all be more aware
Happiness is a state of mind. The dictionary definition is "feelings of joy and pleasure mingled together”. A feeling of happiness is more than just an experience of joy or pleasure. It is a state of mind where the individual feels that “life is good”. As Aristotle says, “happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” I believe that everyone wants to be happy in life. One is abnormal if he prefers to be sad and alone.
