Hmmm....my stepfather used to tell me that nobody can make me feel sad or happy. Only I have the power to make myself happy or sad. If somebody says something nasty to me, I am the one who makes the decision of how I should I react to said statement.
That being said....let me see.
What makes me happy about life??? What do you love in life????...Are not these the same questions???
Coming home after a long hard day and having my cats swirl about my ankles, and my fiancee saying "welcome home" makes me happy.
What I love is both the feeling of accomplishment I get after solving a hard problem, and the feeling of relief I feel when facing up to something I am afraid of, and finding out it is only a molehill as opposed to the mountain I thought it was.
What makes me sad about life. Seeing young people start smoking, drinking, and doing drugs just because it is cool....how cool will it seem when they are dying of lung cancer or seeing their life go up in smoke because they are too drunk or high to maintain jobs and family????
What do I hate about life. Seeing all the blood shed in the name of religion.Seeing people who spend their lives eating healthy, exercising, and stll drop dead of a heart attack at age 40.
I also hate the idea that there is a cure for diabetes type 1 out there, but because the disease makes so many people a ton of money, it will never be put into effect.

I have a different perspective on this question.
Emotions are not a reaction to external events, but rather a compass to guide us from within, letting us know if we are in balance in our person, spiritually, mentally and physically.
We can deliberately control how we feel about and react to anything and anyone. Nothing "makes" me happy or sad or hateful or loving. I simply choose to be these things or not.
Feelings and emotions are separate matters.

it really a chemical reaction your brain produces given surtian stimuli that causes you to feel these stimuli that cause a single emotion can change at the drop of a pin or while PMSing
