Happiness is defined as a pleasurable or satisfying experience... some consider it as a good fortune or prosperity. In this kind of situation and crisis... how can we be trully happy? Is there really a right person for us that would make us happy? In 2004, I am greatful to find the right person for me that really makes my life so happy and complete.

I think happiness is thing which come from satisfaction. If you are not satisfied then you cannot be happy. Human being by its nature is always unsatisfied that is we human are always opt for more. We are never satisfied with out present situation that is why we can not be happy. For example if we don't have money then we try to make money. After we have made enough money we are also not happy then we want more money. I think finding a person who will take care of you and make is happy always is very difficult. I am lucky that I have some who make me happy always. Best of luck. Keep mylotting.

I think people cannot find happiness because of human's nature of unable to be contented on what they have. Usually happiness comes when you had found contenment on what you have and seeing the things you possess as blessings and not wanting anything else. But as I have said, it is human nature to crave for more.

I think the desire makes the person unhappy. Some people has lots of desires and most of them get unfulfilled. A person having 5 rupees will think I should have 50 rupees and a person who has 50 rupees thinks I should have 500 rupees and this goes on and on and this is one of the reason people are unhappy. Worrying about the future and crying over the past are some of the reason people are unhappy. We should always think about the present and present is all we have and we should try to live every second of our life.

I quite agree with you. Desires and too much discontent make us unhappy. There is an old Chinese saying " Happy is he who is contented with what he has." If your life is filled with too many worries and wishes, your life is always in hard life. of course, we have the right of pursuing our happiness. But we should find the balance between reality and dream.

Hi prettymorena_08, we can be truly happy when we count our blessing, and be contented with what we have. It's just a matter of time, it will just comes along even we don't search it. That is what I believe, like me it took me time love moves in mysterious ways, I always thought that it was meant for me, but in the end it did now work out fine. But this time I have found my real happiness, that money can't buy, and that is feeling love and wanting to be love. Have a nice day to you!

I think do not look for it so desperately, It will come in your ways. Just do whatever you like and It should not hurt anyone. You will be happy.

We owe our happiness to ourselves and if we're going to look for it from another person that will be a huge disappointment in the end. For me, its a choice to make. If a person is in a bad situation he can choose to wallow in his loss and stay lonely for the rest of his life or he can choose to embrace his blessings and welcome happiness for a change. A sad person will remain sad until he is ready to become happy. No matter what you say to make him feel good, if he is not ready you can't change it coz its a choice for everyone. A happy person is satisfied with what he has and accepts every circumstance in his life in a positive way. He has learned to accept that he can't change the world but he can change the way he thinks about the world. Having a good fortune and being prosperous is just a by-product of finding true happiness in life and not the other way around because if our happiness depends so much on stuff that we can have or achieve does that mean you'll also lose happiness when you lose those stuff? True happiness when present has the ability to procreate more wonderful things in our lives and no matter what we lose we remain having a cheerful heart and its all because of the attitude that sustains us with more hope that good things always come.

I think every one has love and interest, but no all people can find their love and interest. no cause, it is truth, if all people could find their happiness, and no sad in our heart, then how can we feel the happiness. So we can say the person is fortunate who found his/her true happiness, and the bad man cann't find their true happiness. I think every one is genius, but no all can find their true way, so most of all became common.
