Knowledge given form in wisdom. The gift of learning fulfilled by the gift of doing.

Answer 2

"What do you think happiness is?"
To me happiness is a sense of contentment about my mental condition which is derived from my own mental and physical interaction with the enviroment I am in.
"Where does it come from, in relation to you?"
Happiness comes from within although people can have a tremendous amount of influence on this.
Example(s): Your spouse making a suprise breakfast for you.
Hearing a childs first words.
Or just your boss being pleased with your work.
"If happiness is a form, then it can be maintained. What of it?"
Happiness can be maintain but it takes work, its easier to sink into loathing and despisement for ones own condition than to find a little something to find as a source of happiness. Although if you have genuine problems (such as I do at the time of writing) with happiness/depression theres always counselling and medication that will be a good staff to support you.

Answer 3

I believe happiness comes when something happens according to your wishes knowingly or unknowingly. Its a feeling that tells you certain wish has been fulfilled.
Its an in-depth mental feeling based on your perception of something.
Happiness can be maintained by being content and satisfied with whatever you have got.
I get happy when I help someone and see that my help has brought joy to the other person. That happiness can last forever.
