The Beatles did a ditty on the subject with which I'm only mildly inclined to agree.

Everyone has his own happiness.For me , my happiness is living with my parent forever and get and cherish their love. Getting along with my friends and our friendship could last forever.
If we have positive attitude, happiness is around us and we can find it easily.

I define happiness as the way you look at your life. Totally perspective. People will give different answers on such a subject, obviously, but it really comes down to how 'good' they percieve their life ^_^

Optimism is key to living the happiest life =D

Try wakeing up every morning and saying "I feel great! And this is going to be a great day!" And mean it. It actually makes a deference.

Happiness...to me, is a pointless high in Life that comes every so often - more for some than others - but really means nothing. If we were meant to always be happy, we'd have been born into this world, laughing.

I believe, however, the one thing that everyone needs in their lives...are relief and contentment. To be content in life means more than getting everything one wants. It means to be thankful for what one has and to appreciate the fact that one is alive and those they care about are as well.

Content disappears just as easily as happiness, of course, but it is important to rediscover that content and not give up. To be content in hard times is worth more than a million dollars. To me, at least.

Happiness is waking up with someone there who enjoys your company~ ;3

however, I also agree, it's how you look at your life. Lately I've been very, very happy because I've just had a positive attitude... And I've also been a very quiet, shy girl, but being so happy has actually made me quite social. XD It's crazy how that happens. XDDD

You create it. That's happiness in my opinion.

Happiness for me is life in general as heck, I'm a happy-go-lucky person. I'd say that I'm happiest when I'm with my friends and they're all having a good time. So I guess you could say for me, happiness is life, is singing, and when I see other people being happy. That's happiness for me.


Runner up would be cosplaying as Edward Elric...I get to chase people who call me short...hurray for being the exact same height as Ed a.k.a. 5'2"?

Happiness is finding out that if you syllabilize the word, the second half says penis.

I had a long reply and then the internet screwed up. >

So I'll post my favorite from my list.

Happiness is chocolate.

[yukie]

For me, there's happiness, and then there's joy.

Happiness is when you give me chocolate, or when I ace an exam. Temporary, periodical spurts of whooo happy.

Joy is deeper feelings, like being grateful for being in the family I'm in- the joy of being in it; the joy of having known someone, the joy of standing for my beliefs, the joy of experiencing something once in my lifetime, etc. Long-lasting and not a come-and-go happy thing.

I don't know about the rest of you, but they're different for me.
