Happiness is relative....It depends on your past life. Do you agree?

Do this imaginary exercise. Imagine you are a beggar, begging on the streets. You don't have anything to wear, nothing to eat, nothing to entertain you. Now suppose you are suddenly in a home(In which you live) (Think that somebody brought you). Now you have good food to eat, lots of clothes to wear, TV, Radio, I Pod, Internet and much more. How would you feel? Extremely HAPPY?? Would you? I guess you would. Now coming to real situation, we are not happy. there are many examples which shows happiness is relative. So, if we will compare our life from bad things we would feel good. And if we will compare from something better we would not feel happy. But if we will think this way how would we move ahead. My point is success and happiness are two different things. Happiness is simply a positive state of mind and it can be manipulated.
PLEASE, tell me Am I correct on this? (If you understood what all I just wrote above)

I absolutely agree. We take the simple things in life for granted. We always think of the things we want and don't have, instead of the things we do have that many others do not have. There are so many people that think the material things in life is what makes someone happy. In my opinion, it's the people you love that makes you happy. People should think about the less-fortunate every once in a while!
