Happiness is a feeling. It's like we're pleased or when something nice happened to us. There are so many things that makes me happy. I am a positive person and everything and everyone around me makes me happy. Life itself makes me happy.

Happiness is a satisfying feelings or emotion you feel every time something good happens to us. It can also be applied to the emotion of gladness every time we see our love ones and they really make us happy anytime of the day. As for me I can be happy when everything good things will come on my way. When all the things I want will be given to me. The only simple thing that can make me happy is whenever I see happy people smiling. Even if I am walking along the streets I will see ordinary people smiling I will feel happy too. When you are happy the world around you looks pleasant and sunny.

I think that happiness can be a number of different things but the way I personally look at happiness is, if I'm content deep inside then I am happy! I'm happy when my life is going well and things seem to be going in the right direction. Everyone is different and I suppose different things will make people happy. I love cycling, this makes me very happy as I experience a lot of freedom when I am out on the bike. I am happy when I am reading a good book as I get to escape deep into the pages for a short while! I am happy when I am posting away on My Lot as I am earning a small income from this. Yes, life isn't too bad when I focus on these things! Andrew

when i was a little girl ,i have no depressed time .i have nothing to worry about.however,things have changed greatly. taday.i always feel upset about myself, about my life,about my family,about my future. i have no confident at all. in order to relieve my parents,i always tell them ,i am ok. i will be fine. i smile to my classmats ,to my teatchers,to my workmates. however,who will care ? i am alone today and tomorrow. maybe happiness is a lie to me .

Hi, zip12ph. What makes me happy is living my life that is pleasing to God and being bountifully blessed for all of the days of life. I am also happy because of my three children and my husband, they keep me going when I am sad and depressed.

State of being no mind is real happiness. The ego less moments is real happiness.

for me its about ones own choice. I decided to be happy If I want to. I make my own set of things when or when i like to be. Normally happiness can be seen from unintended or unexpected previledges meet in a certain situation.

Happiness is when you do something, either extreme or something out of your comfort zone, that you didn't know you can but was able to. :)

Hi zip! being contented with what i have makes me feel happy enough. Happiness cannot be measured, it varies from the point of view of one individual to another. For instance, some person especially the poorest among the poor was happy enough for eating fried chicken as their dinner, but others are so used to it that instead of being happy knowing that they had it for they're meal they are complaining instead being used to eat it repeatedly. Happiness cannot be bought, its anything that your heart longs for...

Happiness, it is your free emotion that you feel when there is a good things happen to you, same with sadness, you don't control it, you will just feel it even though you wont say it, this is involuntary feelings, no one can tells you not to be happy when there is a good thing happens. =) Well, when there is a good thing happen to me, i feel happy. =) shalala!
