We keep on searching for happiness yet we don't know what makes us happy enough, sometimes, we don't know that happiness has come because we are busy toying the idea on how to be happy. like when i took my family in a nice place and expensive popular restaurant is not the fact that we saw or were going to that nice place and expensive restaurant that made me happy but the smile in my family face and that i was looking at them and holding hands while walking about that made me happy. Its the intangibles not the tangible and until you see things with your heart instead of your eyes, you will always be unhappy. how about you? what do you think about happiness ?

Everyone here in the world wants to be happy and i guess that's what living all about being happy.I think happiness comes from satisfaction, when you're satisfied with what you are doing,how you are living with people around you.To get this it is very important you feel happy.

Happiness is tricky because, yes, it is about the intangibles. but the tangible things can be very trying to the intangibles, especially when they are not going right.

Since the time of plato and earlier thinkers people have been askin this same question. Its a old topic. Happiness is a feelin, a state of mind.
