That thats is you can drive, smoke it, wear it, drink it etc for happiness is the experience of the journey. The experience of happiness is the result of hoe you look/view at things. Happiness is really a choice

i think that hapiness is just like 'you struggle to be happy.then you are haapy that you struggled.indifferent of the outcome.' meaning that it is one of those things that should never be satisfied. or the very driving force to existence wud b meaningless

Man is never satisfied by the needs,he wants more and more.This is a very tricky question to answer. Well i dont think so that a day would come when he would be satisfied.

As a whole, no. I don't think humanity will achieve that goal because there are too many people trying to keep up with the Jones' that live next door or across the street.

Unfortunately it's in man's nature you can never be satisfied, I mean, you can have everything going for you a good job and nice family a new car, but there is always something more that you want. Just like when you want something really bad, and then you get it, after awhile becomes old and you're looking for something else. I don't think that eternal happiness exists, is just a temporary state, a temporary satisfaction that sometimes fills in those gaps in life. I am by no means rich, but I live a good life. I'm a hard worker, healthy, and many times I look around, and I consider myself very lucky!
