According to me happiness is a thing that cannot be owned, niether it could be earned or consumed. It is a spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. It is a feeling that pertains to every minute of our life depending upon our perceptions and how we look at things even in situations which are not so pleasant.

Happiness seems to be relative (it seems indefinite of anything). I'm not sure what happiness to me is. When you're happy, that's not really happiness. It could be somewhere along the line of achieving piece of mind and that could be anything.

hello Happiness is something not buy nor can be stolen. For Happiness is real and found in the soul. It is something that is shared, Something that is given. It is something that is pure and overflowing from a heart that is filled with love, joy, peace, understanding, pure, and kind. A happiness is felt and not an illusion. Happiness is a feeling full of sense. It can made you fly, soar, dream and continue LIFE. If you live right happiness arrive!!!!!

I have to agree with you. Jesus spoke of having peace of mind I'm pretty sure. I think I'm unhappy because I have no peace of mind. I'm to worried and I've fears and anxieties that I think keep me from having peace of mind. I been praying but maybe it's not helping; I'm not sure. Right now I'm just very unhappy and unexcited about my life. I've had allot of bad experiences with people and one of the worse ones was the day before yesterday. I don't feel like people accept me because of my looks or maybe because I'm low income. About happiness, I also read in a book once that people are not happy all the time and that they have happy moments. They got a point about that but I also think you really have something there with what you had to say.

Happiness is experience. It is the ability of a person to enjoy, fullfill and accept the situations in their life regardless of adversity or success.

happiness is a very subjective matter. it can only be described by the person himself/herself. for me, happiness is simply living life the way i love it: with my family, with good health, and with God's blessings.

Hi, Happiness can't be measured and it comes by itself to our live. If you are with the person that you loved always,then you will feel happy and happiness will be there for you. For couple, it is good to have a long lasting relationship,which means they will have a happy family and for sure,happiness is always with them. Without a happiness in life,there is no meaning to stay together.

happiness can only be felt in the heart. Happiness in this world do not have a clear measure of value because it is dependent upon individuals who feel it.

For me happiness is being at peace with myself, with my God and with the people around me.Happiness is something we share, not possess, give,not taken, without holding back and expecting something in return.

When you ask this question a few say they are happy but many say that hey are not happy.Is it the money or age or health or something else which makes a man happy. Happiness is in the mind and not in the body or outer things like money status etc. As I understand happiness is in contentment only which is a state of mind

Happiness come by chance but not by diligent search.Happiness and pain are twins.Feeling pain is also significant.Pain makes happiness more valuable. Maybe we couldn't own happiness,but we must look forward to it.Then we'll have the power to pursue love,friendship or some other spiritual experience.
