Answer 2

Begin by writing a pool of general ideas on the matter. Expand the pool by ideas specific to people whom have written opinions on Happiness and its importance.  Expand the pool further to include your ideas on the matter as well as you opinion and critiques of those whom have written on the subject.  

Next make an outline of the idea pool. That will help you to organized the the information in the pool of ideas.

Write a rough draft. Put it away until the next day. Critique the draft on the next day. Add improvements and/or delete the unnecessary. After this you may either:

1.Rewrite draft and put it away until the next day.

2. Write final draft.

The outline will help you to establish the title, introduction, body & summary and conclusion of the essay.

In case you have a "writer's block" on this subject, I will present a gift to get you started:

If "it's possible to way overestimate the importance of happiness,"

why is "the pursuit of Happiness" included within the  Declaration

of Independence? How is it connected to Life & Liberty? Why is it considered among "certain unalienable Rights"? If its importance is  overestimated, why does the document insist upon: " whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." .

Excerpt From Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Answer 3

You would start your essay with either

"I agree that happiness is way overestimated"

or

"I do no tthink that happiness is way overestimated"

You don't have to promise BA. Anyone smarter than a door k**b goes back every 2 - 3 days and votes for himself, after the stupids have forgotten where they posted or why.

Answer 4

I think that, yes, the importance of happiness is overrated... if you will? If you are constantly all sunshines and rainbows, life is going to seem repetitive. Most people wont admit it, but the majority of people almost crave drama, or something downer on them. I've noticed that when people have everything they want and need, after a while they get bored with it. So even though it seems like one should be content with their lives having everything they want... they usually aren't. If you always get what you want, you don't appreciate it nearly as much, so it doesn't make you all that happy. However, if you also have downs, the good points in life seem to look a lot brighter, and make you happier because its not something that you are used to. No matter what... everyone gets bored after a while; no one likes repetitive things.
