Some people would say love. I believe that love does make you happy but alot of the time unhappy- very unhappy. Why do people want to love or be loved if it will bring them grief and pain? Maybe it is this: "why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels SO good when I stop." I love that quote and actually think it’s the answer of love and happiness!
Now being happy is all in your head. Yes you can feel happy during sex or when receiving gifts but does this last long? No. However, no happiness lasts very long unless you want it to.
If everyone was happy all the time then their would be no adventure in life!
Being happy is an amazing feeling and even if people think they are unhappy, when they get that great feeling, it doesn't matter if they were unhappy before.
I have learned that nobody is satisfied in life no matter how much you have- Yes, a little, but even a kid with a great expensive gift that cost a great amount of money for the parent, will want more gifts because one is not good enough. "It is quality NOT quantity" I say, even though this phrase is used literally.
One should always be happy and if they are not then don't be afraid to admit it. There are many ways to be happy and enjoying it when you have it is the most important thing.
Thank you

The biggest source of happiness is how much joy you have in your heart which is determined by the quality of love you have in your life

haha sex and drugs thats great,
but no, everyone pins happiness to material things, but the true source of happiness is love for yourself. If you have no love for yourself, then everyday you take advantage, and have no respect for the things that you enjoy on a regular basis. Yea its nice to be in love, but what good is someone loving you, and you loving someone if at the end of the day, your not happy with yourself. No matter what way you look at it, loving yourself, is where it all begins. Now obtaining love for yourself, is alot easier said than done, its not looking in the mirror and combing ure hair to a way you thinks cute. True self-love, comes from years of always looking at the best possiable situation, and being content with what you beleive in life. Its looking at everymistake that you've made thast ever hurt you, and looking at what you learned from it. So my answer to this, is that loving urself is the biggest source of happiness. Hopefully you found this some what interesting

not haveing expections from anyone as EXPECTATION is the biggest source of sadness as if we dont have expetations from anyone u will always be happy.
for e.g if u dont expect that ur family or friend will help u or will care for u when u need them and if they do take care or are concerned u will feel happy but if they dont help u to ur expectation u will be sad so no expectation and be happy.

biggest source of happiness is when you feel good about yourself and having peace with it i mean you can have family, friends, a great career and whatever but that won't make you happy unless you feel good about yourself first.
it makes a huge difference.
