All that anybody needs is enough food, shelter from the elements and water. I have all these things and a little extra.

Answer 24

I have been truly happy for the past 3 years and 8 months (since meeting my fiance). No life isn't quite where we want it to be for us, but still I am happy. It is good to have someone to share all that life has to offer and throw at you. Finally I have someone who truly understand me and if he doesn't he tries. He loves me for me and is extremely supportive. So how can I not be happy?

Answer 25

How could I know how happy I was then if I am not equally happy now? I believe happiness is a very subjective a state of mind that in common understanding is almost as easy to lose as hard is it to come by.

Sometimes, we do forget as when was it that we were really happy. Sometimes, we forget the reasons for being happy in the past - which in a sense is a good thing as there is delight in that too, in knowing old things anew, and in becoming happy all over again. This is very rare in the mind that things continued to make us happy beyond certain periods of time. We could get fed up soon with even being happy.

Then this is the fact that we all like change, despite change being a threat. Many of us many would seek happiness in their exploits of various kinds, in their adventures, in their exciting pursuits, exhilarating situations, in hilarities of life, and in the euphoric moments of discovery and strangest encounters.

True happiness however is not much of a matter of momentary joyfulness. It is something for more real in our mind as our natural need for assurance of our beliefs. I do not believe that happiness something that we could have for one moment only to lose in the next. True happiness, I believe, is about something that is always with us, something that is permanent, something that we never lose, but often only the feel or touch of it.

A chance meeting with a perfect stranger, for instance, would not make me any happier, but if I see a old friend after a long time, then I think I am more likely to be delighted. I would be happy also if I would find something to remind me of my better self. This can happen any time, and when it does, all I would remember is being a better self.

Answer 30

3 months ago, when i just got out of medical clerkship program after 1 yr of rotating in public hospitals and being on duty 36 hours straight without pay. We didn't have weekends off or holidays either. It was purely service to fellowmen. thats what doctors go through. anyway, i felt like i was released from prison. became couch potato after that. it was new found freedom. now im a few days shy of starting another year of internship program as a newly graduated doc. im just praying i survive another year. its hardwork. its a very different, difficult life being a doctor. its a lifetime career..

Happiness for me is STILL just a mirage.

I hope I actually see a real oasis somehow...
