Answer 2

Happiness means SATISFACTION. You are happy only when you are satisfied.

You are satisfied when your expectations are fulfilled.

Your expectations are fulfilled when you don't have unreasonable expectations.

So don't make unreasonable expectations from this world and yourself and you will be a Happy person !

Moreover...if you try to fulfil other's unreasonable expectations then also you will become unhappy.

Answer 6

For me, happiness is something that comes from within and not from outside me. It is something I had to find within myself when others disappointed or hurt me (intentionally or unintentionally).

I used to look to others for happiness and one day it dawned upon me that most of the people I was looking for happiness from, did not have it to give me.

"Happy" and "Happily" redirect here. For other uses, see Happy (disambiguation).



The smiley face is a universal symbol of happiness.Happiness is an emotion associated with feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy.

A variety of philosophical, religious, psychological and biological approaches have been taken to defining happiness and identifying its sources.

Philosophers and religious thinkers have often defined happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this older sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics. In everyday speech today, however, terms such as well-being or quality of life are usually used signify the classical meaning and happiness is reserved for the felt experience or experiences that philosophers historically called pleasure.

For the word sad, see SAD (disambiguation).



"The Wounded Angel" by Hugo SimbergSadness is an emotion characterized by feelings of disadvantage, loss, and helplessness. When sad, people often become quiet, less energetic, and withdrawn. Sadness is considered to be the opposite of happiness, and is similar to the emotions of sorrow, grief, misery, and melancholy. The philosopher Baruch Spinoza defined sadness as the “transfer of a person from a large perfection to a smaller one.”

Sadness can be viewed as a temporary lowering of mood (feeling blue), whereas clinical depression is characterized by a persistent and intense lowered mood, as well as disruption to one's ability to function in day to day matters.

  Strange question(have you never bin happy?).

  Anyway,as millions of poeple worldwide have read the book "The story of my life" written by that american heroine helen Keller;

In it she tells of her utmost joy-and-happiness at learning a language.

(most of you should know of this,for her book/lifestory has been study material for a lot of schoolchildren here!).

And it made ME happy to realise-fairly recently-that i think that she had what could be called a (Popper-ian,see work done by karl Popper)CRITICAL happiness;i realised this when i read that she "denied" and initially "rejected"all her college and so-called mature academic language!

That she did this is unmistakable i now think is certain;it can be seen initially in her own words in her book above.And i think and truly believe that had she known about and had been "exposed-to"(as its commonly-but-not-precisely referred to!) Sir karl's work-at that time too-then she could have written about lots of stuff with a lot more Insight(even probably more than she had then)and,by chance,dare i say it,even more happiness and long lasting joy.

We will never know of course;but she will always be a true (happy) heroine to me,and lots of others,nevertheless.

Answer 11

Happiness is a calm steady state of mind which is not affected by the so called 'joys'  or 'sorrows' of life.   If one is able to tune in to one's inner forces, external worldly vagaries of life (both the good and the bad) will have no impact on one's state of mind.  This is the state called happiness which is called 'ananda' in Indian literature.
