is there a difference between fun and happiness?

Question

what shud u aim for in life achieveng happiness or just having fun while it lasts

Answer 1

Yup there is a difference...

Fun is when you do something, happiness is what you feel after doing that thing.

:o) when u do good stuff , u may have fun n also have the happiness of doin that thing, when you do somethin that is not nice, u may have fun, but in the end you wont be happy.

So not all fun leads to happiness and fun does not last long. :) you should always be happy cause God loves you, Ppl loves you, and you are unique! Enjoy!

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Yes. True happiness is not always having fun. I am happy with my husband and my home even if it is a lot of work to take care of his many health problems. I am happy with my lot in life.

If you are having fun - you are having fun for the moment and then get let down when it is over. True happiness is of the Lord.

you should aim for true happiness. It will last you forever.

Answer 3

Yea, of course!
Fun is timely and it does not necessarily bring happiness. You can safely say that FUN is a fabricated thing, while the happiness is real feeling. For example you can make fun of others for only temporary enjoyment and it is very much possible that, later, you feel sorry or grieved for what you have done to others. While happiness is always positive and is only the outcome of your positive deeds.
Secondly, happiness produces itself from within yourself and can last for days, moths, years or even for the whole of your life. Fun is what you think would bring you happiness, where it is not necessary.
Thanks

In my opinion....'fun' is something you have with the activities you do, with the interaction with others while enjoying things together. Happiness is something you work to achieve in your life.

I have quite a lot of fun riding roller coasters, watching my football team, Manchester United, play matches while I'm with friends, working outside in the yard with my daughters, and painting our new home and making it look wonderfully cozy and comfortable.

Happiness was achieved a few weeks ago with my new job (one I'd been searching for during the past 10 years!!), with knowing I come home to a family I'm taking care of really well, seeing my daughters happy, healthy and well-adjusted, and knowing that in a few weeks, my grandchildren will be placed in my home so we can once again be a complete family.

There is a difference, and you can do one now, to make the other happen during your time here on this planet on the road of life.

Answer 5

Yes! Fun is temporary and only last a couple minutes or hours. Happiness is for a long time. Happiness only comes when you have suffer and you see Gods mighty hand through out your situation. Happiness is an indescrible feeling that makes you smile all the time.

Answer 6

I think its about a balance of the two. Having fun, and i'm taking that to more of an extreme level in this sense, can eventually affect your long term idea of happiness. Fun will make you do things that later on you may regret.

Answer 7

Fun is something shallow but pleasant. It comes from outward things. Happiness, is an inward thing. I choose to be happy. If I choose to be happy nothing affects that happiness.

"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."

Answer 8

It is a matter of personal preference. While I was younger I sought out immediate gratification so I gravitated towards "fun". As I have gotten older and married I have found true "happiness". I like happiness better!

Answer 9

Happiness is emotions experienced when in a state of well-being while fun is just from things that made you happy.

Answer 10

Fun is now
Happiness is over a period in time
Always aim to grow in love throughout your life and you'll have both.

Answer 11

thrilling and happiness are positive, yet easily happiness is the most properly worth in search of. Happiness can embody thrilling as well, yet thrilling on my own received't assure us genuine happiness..once you positioned a boundary on it, it turns into predictable and loses meaning..it really is likewise an body of recommendations. some people could have thrilling no count what the circumstances. Assuming one has the sufficient purpose (if not as a range one objective), then it really is completely a count of having attentiveness operating close to-continuously. With attentiveness to one’s own sensations, thoughts and recommendations operating close to-continuously, it really is elementary to discover moments even as the ‘drop’ in happiness take position (eg: in the course of the circumstances boredom ‘begins’ to take position). With the acknowledgment of the drop, blended with the analyze of the set off of that drop in happiness, one receives lower back to feeling sturdy.. to feeling remarkable.. to feeling proper.
