Answer 9

Finally working out how to remove all american questions from my YA listings.  Wow, I just cannot believe how 'challenged' they all appear to be.  I hope so much that I'll not be getting any answers from over the pond either.  America is the only real problem left on his planet.

That, and yestrday I saw a young man (20's) walking along my street with five beautiful young women (20's).  I'd like to do that as well.

Answer 10

Not wanting for anything more than what you have.

That moment prior to sleep is for me a good gauge of how happy I am. If I slip into sleep easily without any internal doubts or chatter then that is how I gauge my happiness.Basically it's down to how comfortable I am with myself.

Answer 14

I define happiness in the only way that I know, which is how I found it in myself in the last year. I had to do so me soul searching, and cleaning out of my negativity on the inside. When I did this, there was my happiness still inside me just gleaming and shining as bright as ever. I have never been on such a high as I am now that I have found my happiness. I wake up in a great attitude, and have such a desire to continue to learn and grow within myself.

I use to think happiness would come when I found a husband. But now I realize, you cannot base your happiness on anyone or anything outside of yourself. You must find it within, and then bring it out and enjoy it each day.

I know that my happiness is so simple in nature, and does not need fancy material items, or certain people in my life to be maintained.

I am happy, because I am human, and that is my living right. And now that I experience it each day, I love it! And never want to go back to how I was before.

Thanks for reading!

Answer 15

Happiness is what you promise to your shelf to keep living.

Sometimes you know where to find it and sometimes it cames alone.

Sometimes you have to try hard to get it and sometimes not at all.

Sometimes you think you find it but you are wronge.

Sometimes you see it , you feel it and that makes you want it more.

My advice is: try to see happiness to the "small" things because that way happiness would be with you everyday!

Answer 16

My concept of happiness is varied. I see happiness as a progress and level. For example, getting a 100% on an exam could get me an 8 in happiness, while the Starbucks latte brings a 4 of happiness. Happiness to me is content. It is seeing my children grow and becoming successful in areas of their life. It is crawling into bed at night after an exhausting day and falling peacefully asleep, accomplishing a goal in my life that I have set for myself, during the moments of highest ecstasy while having s*x, seeing a strangers smile, watching a sunset progress till the night sky bursts with stars above my head, learning additional knowledge and adding depth to my character, helping another individual just to see them succeed in life, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my body as I read a thought provoking book. I could continue on in book lengths because happiness surrounds me each day, I just have to be observant and appreciative of when the moment arrives to be aware to enjoying it for what it is.  

Answer 17

  A simplistic answer might be the opposite of the alternative.

  Concepts are a wonderful thing, in a general sense, and with tolerance, acceptance, and some sense of non degrading, modest compromise, we might all find "levels" of happiness. That certainly relates, individually, and might be as much like a Teeter Totter balancing, as anything set in concrete.

  I could have just been run over by that bus, as I hurried to school. Is that a happy thing? OR is it more an alert, that I wasn't paying much attention, causing me a moment of unhappiness in my carelessness.

  A gambler. Are they conditioned to HAPPY, just when they win, or don't lose? Are they happy if they lose, but don't lose everything? Are they so happy if they win, that they double up, and perhaps again lose it all? Thinking, "No biggie, wasn't "MY" money anyway.

  Hmm. Intersting Q.

A.F.

Answer 18

Self worth,knowing you always do your best to be your best.

Helping someone even just to smile in times of

darkness.

Feeling alive and whole as a person, gaining the strength in your struggles for self,being able to adapt to

the Sh** that is thrown your way,and deal with it.

Remembering Always,how much you have compared to those that have nothing.

Above all Happiness for me is the capability of giving and showing Love,even if it is not returned.

Answer 19

There is no rubric or set of rules or definition that would work for everyone.  Everyone has a different idea about what happiness is, just like everyone has a different idea of what love is.  My concept of happiness is that it is an unstable, ephemeral emotion that is the result of achieving some goal, consciously or unconsciously.  

Answer 20

happiness is what you wont find in a local pub, a local wack house, a local train station and certainly not in your local girlfriend...

happiness defines YOU !

Answer 21
