"Happyness"


How do you define happiness? Happiness from work, from family, from the things you have, from your friends, from co -workers/colleagues, etc.

Do we only have one definition of happiness? If I am happy with my work, does it mean I am happy with with my family? with my colleagues? with my friends? with the things around me? Of 29 years years of my life here on Earth, i was happy. Happy with everything I have, with everything I do, with everything. But I never tried defining the real meaning of happiness in life. I guess its a human instinct to be happy. It's human nature to express your feelings, your thoughts, your ideas. But what really make people happy? I don't know...

Having someone you love makes you happy, passing an exam makes you happy, getting a high grades make students happy, having a baby make couple happy, having a complete family make both husband and wife happy. A lot of things make people happy... That is why celebration is connected to happiness. When you're happy you celebrate, you tell other people. You wanted them to be part of your happiness, you wanted to share with them how happy you are.

Some experts would tell you, the root of happiness is your feelings. It is important that you feel it not only because you think of it. It has to be felt. Does this mean that you can fake happiness? But how? Fake celebrations? Telling lie to other people? Pretending that your happy but you are not.

How can we tell a person is happy or he is just faking it? Can we really measure happiness? Can we measure how happy a person is? Questions that will remain a question forever...
