What is Happiness?

Happiness is getting more purples from Molten Core.

Nah, epics from Blackwing Lair, AQ40 and Naxxramus are where it's at for me.

Receiving, loading, and then playing the new expansion pack quests with my full Bloodfang armor, chromatically tempered sword and Maladath will make me EXTREMELY happy. Level 70 here I come!

Happiness is a stupid feeling which you can achieve only by ignorance and living in the moment only, etc. ...

Thanks very much for your post. I don't agree with you, but your honesty -- and your depth of feeling -- is really refreshing. Stay with us, and the next time you do something really stupid, don't spiral down too deep. Maybe tell us about it, instead.

But wait ...

I m the happiest when I help someone really needy and make him feel happy.

You do help women too, right? 😉
 
Happiness is being in love with yourself and knowing that the world could not survive one second without you.

No ... I'm not talking about myself. 😱

Yeah ... I'd say that defines happiness. 😱
 
Rega speakers 😛

I dunno. I'm happy all the time. Even now I'm uber stressed out about work but I'm still happy that I'm here, that all's great. Happy knowing that everything is fine. Happy happy happy. Happiness now are the little boosts above the level I'm already at. A new game, new socks, new batteries for my BT mouse/keyboard, a smile from a friend, a hug from my girlfriend, a great show on TV, a good song I haven't heard yet.
 
"Happy is a yuppie word."

I'm looking for soming a lot deeper than happy. I agree with vikas soni that you won't find happyness, or by any means something deeper in yourself. I don't believe you'll find it even in another person, or two, or three. I agree with the means of vikas soni, and personally I'm challanged by his honestly (which I greatly appreciate), but the ends I disagree with.

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."

An honest search for Truth has lead me to God and His Son Christ. Having a Home somewhere that isn't here gives you freedom: you don't have to worry about anything in this life, and living for something Bigger than yourself gives you a reason to be here. But certainly Christ teaches that we are to help the hungry, the poor, and deserted...and finding joy in helping them I've decided to become a doctor so I can find those people and help them. Maybe I'll save lives...but I hope to save more than that. I'm spending this summer in a medical clinic in Ghana that serves the public for free, it's in the Village of Hope. That's what gives me Joy, in a nutshell: God and serving others for Him.

Many people believe that the most important reason to live is to be happy. However, happiness differs among everybody, as different things make different people happy. So my question to you is what makes you happy? How can happiness be achieved? Are you happy? (please be as thorough in your explanation as you'd like).

Happiness is a state of mind. I find that having a good/positive attitude can get you through just about anything life has to throw at you. Life is going to have its rough spots, but if you have a good/positive attitude you will be able to cope a lot better and experience happiness.
 
HAPPINESS IS FINDING A PENCIL.
PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE
TELLING THE TIME.
HAPPINESS IS LEARNING TO WHISTLE.
TYING YOUR SHOE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

HAPPINESS IS PLAYING THE DRUM IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL BAND.
AND HAPPINESS IS WALKING HAND IN HAND.
HAPPINESS IS TWO KINDS OF ICE CREAM.
KNOWING A SECRET.
CLIMBING A TREE.
HAPPINESS IS FIVE DIFFERENT CRAYONS.
CATCHING A FIREFLY.
SETTING HIM FREE.

HAPPINESS IS BEING ALONE EVERY NOW AND THEN.
AND HAPPINESS IS COMING HOME AGAIN.
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,
DAY TIME AND NIGHT TIME TOO.
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.

HAPPINESS IS HAVING A SISTER.
SHARING A SANDWICH.
GETTING ALONG.
HAPPINESS IS SINGING TOGETHER WHEN DAY IS THROUGH,
AND HAPPINESS IS THOSE WHO SING WITH YOU.
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,
DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME TOO.
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.

Sorry, I just couldn't pass up that gem from Junior High. 🙂
 
Happiness is the moment while manhandling your staff and suddenly realizing the wrong people are watching when you wake to find it was all but a dream.
