Perhaps happiness is freedom. Perhaps freedom is one's capacity to do good. Perhaps knowing what's really good requires knowing what it evil.. In that case, perhaps happiness is continuous learning :) Cheers

hi,ruperto,maybe happiness is just a kind of feeling,it is usually scaled by happiness index,it is said that people in town and country are have a higher index than people in big city.

I agree, Monica. I remember taking a vacation in my mother's home town island north of Manila. People live very simple lives (less stressful thinking) and do much physical work e.g. fishing and occasional festivals. It is interesting in the point of view of urban dwellers, they are missing a lot.. But it seems there is something urban dwellers have really lost... or have they? I find it difficult to describe what that something is... care to comment? Cheers
