Dear Mana,
Happiness is a prolonged or lasting emotional or affective state that feels good or pleasing. Overlapping states or experiences associated with happiness include well-being, joy, sexual pleasure, delight, health, safety and love, while contrasting ones include suffering, sadness, grief, and pain.
Societies, religions, and individuals have various views on the nature of happiness and how to pursue it.
The above mentioned definition is somehow scientific but for me happiness is being with such a kind wife like you till the last moments of my life.
Love.......Bobby

Happiness comes in various forms. At the risk of sounding shallow, happiness can be that hot cuppa coffee, getting drenched in the first rains, seeing your partner smile, winning the lottery...anything basically. He puts us through a lot of downs and then sends these short lived moments of joy that we call happiness. I'd say happiness is just an absence of sorrow.

Happiness is when one feels at home with one's weaknesses and strengths, when one finds peace in the chaotic world we all live in, when one sees beauty inspite of the ugliness that life comes with and happiness is seeing the world as it is, a true definitive wonder to behold and cherish. :)

Knowing who you are and being proud of your achievements in life. Knowing that what really fulfills a person is what they can do for others.
Knowledge and getting a decent education, and by working hard to achieve your goals is where true HAPPINESS lies.
