What makes you more happy if you enjoy by parties, disc, movies, shopping or if you help the person who is really in need of something.

The joy of life lies in being kind to others. I feel good inside when I know that I have helped someone. It brings fantastic returns.

I believe that helping people makes you happy. It is one of those things that helps to soothe the soul and perhaps fills us with a general compassion. It is hard to hate someone that you have compassion for.

It makes me very happy to do something for a person in need. I enjoy just doing nice things for other people, in need or not. I especially like it if I can do something and no one even knows it was me who did it.

When somebody appreciate what I do for him or her then that makes me happy. Being appreciated is a feeling of achievement for me. However, there a lot of times people just take for granted for what I did for them, this make me sad always.

Well I feel happy in party, movie or being with my friends. That is temporary happiness and I forget same in few days time. But the feelings, if I say it happiness, by helping others in need and hearing a mere word of gratitude from the person is eternal. There is no material gain is achieved but seems my became more wealthy.

You are right. :) Sometimes we get so focused on having so much "stuff". And then we just want MORE! But we are truly happy when we help other people! :)
