What is happiness ???????

Question

where do you find it ?

Answer 1

happiness is a chemical combination in your mind, hey look i answered both questions. No actually that was a mean way of answering your question im sorry, happiness is a choice if you choose to look at the bad as just bad then happiness is hard to attain, but if you look at all situations with a ray of hope than happiness is not far off and easily attainable.

Answer 2

if you are not sad, then you should be happy, its happiness

Answer 3

In yourself.

"Happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it."

Answer 4

Happiness is joy in your heart.  You find it when you least expect it.  Like when you are taking your kids out and they say something sweet, like "you are so pretty mom", or ' I hope that you live for a thousand years', or "you are the prettiest, I want to marry you."

Regret.

Answer 10

I find mine in my tummy eyes and smile its like a little whirling sun inside and makes me feel like jumping around and waving my arms.

What leads up to it is usually an unexpected pleasant experience - like seeing something beautiful a rose opened out that wasn't there last item I looked or a perky fluffy little baby robin on impossibly thin legs learning to fly.

Or a recognitionn an understanding of something that was obscure before.

I think happiness is is the process (the way) rather than in content (the things).

Answer 11

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.  CLAP CLAP

Answer 12

These are some of my ideas of what happiness is:

No regrets

When you can openly and genuinely say you want to be alive

When you love someone...your friends, your parents, your children, yourself.

The simple things...Finding a lone Bird of Paradise plant in a sea of weeds, going to the movies with friends.

When you can look back to yourself a few years earlier and know your made yourself proud.

As to where to find happiness, it's everywhere. You just have to have a good enough eye to spot it.

Answer 13

You find it on the journey. Contrary to popular belief, happiness isn't some destination you reach at some point in your life. You shouldn't aspire to happiness, or to one day be happy. What a waste! Happiness is something you should look for everyday, but that doesn't mean it's there everyday. But you have to take things as they come. Nothing should be an eventual goal.  

Answer 14

Happiness is a state of mind and you find it in your own mind.

People in great circumstances can be miserable, and people in horrible circumstances can be full of joy.  It mostly has to do with how you mentally filter experiences.

Answer 15

In respect, get respect = get happy.

yea, that sounds hella odd, but f- it; respect is happiness.

Answer 16

"Stumbling on Happiness"

A book I just read. It explains with studies and published journal entries. It attacks the human condition from a psychologists point of view. Slow read, but very informative. Basicly.... happiness is relative... differet for each person.. so the only one who can answer your question is you. What is happiness for you?

But really... read the book.
