Hey. I was just thinking about something that my aunt says everytime something goes wrong. She says it in Spanish : "No hay felizidad completa." This means there's never complete happiness. Someone is almost always trying to work towards the better things in life and sometimes when they achieve those, they still try looking for what's better. What does this phrase mean to you my fellow myLotters? Do you agree or disagree with it? What does complete happiness mean to you? How would you achieve complete happiness? Is it even possible?

Complete happiness does exist. First, one must understand just what happiness really is. Happiness is no more than a CHOICE we are all free to make.

Complete happiness comes in moments or certain events in people's lives. It maybe fleeting but we know it exist. Like when you fall in love, get married, when a child is born, when you see the glorious sunset, or succeed in your endeavors etc. For some people, the feeling of complete happiness last longer as it is a state of mind. They appreciate and focus their attentions on the goodness and positive things in life. They are content with how little they may have and whatever assistance and contribution they give to humanity. Perhaps we can say that those people who aspire for more than what they need, those who seek for glory and fame are those who believe that there is no such thing as complete happiness.

i dont believe complete happiness does exist no, its like people work towards something thinking once they get there that will be all they need but once they get there they want to get higher. people will always want alot of money, a good job, fancy things but even with all these they will want more. We are all raised to try and be the best we can in life because of the rewards we will get from it. I think thers too much temptation in the world to stay happy.
