Define: Happiness

I feel the most complex word in dictionary is to define Happiness. It can be so different from one person to other and can change any number of times in one's life. Today I might feel happy about something and the same may bore me tomorrow.

Since some time I been thinking that how much time an average human is happy. If anybody is even happy for quarter of the life, I would say he has lived his life (obviously without counting the amazing childhood part). The biggest problem with humans is to understand the worth of whatever they have and to find happiness in it. Its always that he needs more or he is not happy with whatever he has.

Somebody defined Happiness as "Happiness is a journey and not a destination" very apt. To stay happy across the journey of life is to feel satisfied with what he has and finding worth of what all he owns.

Happiness can be from family, friends, health, wealth, nature, time, entertainment, food, sex, travel, being lavish, pride, power, past, making jealous, sadism!, fans, beer, achievement, victory and or any combination of these or many more...

If everybody can find what they have from above list and forget what they do not have from the list....probably that could make them happy...


I wish I can make atleast one person happy everyday...(I know that ONE person for most of the time will be myself ;))


Cheers,

Raghu,

Welcome to the world of blogging .
I'm sure ,you will find many more friends, who have simlar thinking like you...

Nice topic to start ,but I have different opinions on that...

To be more happy, don't define happiness... what makes you happy may look silly for others and vice versa.. Take the life as it comes, cherish every single moment ,learn from the mistakes and go on...
