happiness is a very complex word and it defines a lot things. sometimes we cry because of static happiness inside. sometimes physical things can make us happy like money, luxury, and stuff. but this happiness are just temporary. even events that makes you happy is just temporary cause after few months or years you will for get it i am sure.. so where can you really find the greatest happiness? i wasn't able to find it out yet on me. so is it in you or outside of yourself?

I believe that true happiness needs to come from within us. We need to feel satisfied with ourselves before we can start to enjoy life around us. We can love others and we can also love ourselves.
Sometimes it might be hard to be happy with ourselves. I know that I have faults and flaws that I wish I could fix. But in the end I need to accept myself first.

I do agree with you, bamakelly. True happiness should come from within us. There are little things in our daily lives that bring happiness to us... and sometimes we tend to overlook these things. Most of the things that we notice are those events that make us unhappy, and therefore we sometimes think that there is no happiness in our life. But the moment one could recognize those little things that make you smile, put them all together in a whole day's time, then one can realize that there is happiness in life. This is one thing that I have realized in life. There will never be perfection in life... but happiness, it's right there, all I had to do was to open my eyes and to appreciate. Then all the rest that of the things, the events that I used to think was pain and miserable suddenly changed to temporary things and events that eventually just pass my life as a learning experience for me.

I find it hard for me to answer this post, but for me i think its both, in and outside self, when you feel that there's something wrong with you outside self, you are bothered inside, and when you feel that there is something wrong inside, it shows in your outside self, i think it's hard to find happiness, unless you are contented with in and outside self. wew!
