Happiness is knowing that you can provide for yourself and your family. That's something I can't do at the moment because no bastard employers will hire me.

To me, in the practical context happiness is a state of contentment or being fulfilled or simply liking whatever it is you are doing for a majority of your waking hours- your occupation... There are many people in this world who have the money but are not happy doing whatever they are doing and there are some others who have sacrificed power and money to do what they enjoy doing or get satisfaction from like some business people who work with NGOs.. Different things bring the same level of contentment in different people and it is also possible that different things can bring the same level of contentment in the same person at different points in time. Basically, one should enjoy doing whatever one is doing:-
If you want to be happy for a day, go on a picnic.
If you want to be happy for a week, go on a vacation
If you want to go happy for a month, get married
If you want to be happy for a year, inherit wealth
If you want to be happy for a lifetime, do the work that you love.
Further details are there on this blog- Make your passion your profession. -http://mypyp.wordpress.com/ - The great mystic Osho had gone far as to say- People think that being meditative makes them happy; it is just the other way around- when you are happy( totally absorbed in the work that you love), you are automatically meditative.
Money and success can mean different things to different people or to the same person at different points in time. To some, they may bring lasting happiness but more often,that happiness comes only if you have achievement satisfaction and contement with whatever it is that you are doing.
In a spiritual context, if one is genuinely able to view everything with a detached mind, one can become balanced and equanmous and totally in the present- one can be peaceful without neccessarily being happy. That, is an ideal state of mind worth striving for because if one is able to achieve that, one is not affected by happiness or unhappiness becaue happiness is not dependent on any external source.

For me, there are various things that does make human beings chuffed yet to what degree? Like for me, seeing somebody smile or making somebody's day makes me chuffed because of the fact we are nonetheless interior the land of the living. people who're wealthy are chuffed because of the fact they don't ought to rigidity approximately costs or conflict to get by using paycheck to paycheck like maximum of this country is doing spectacular now. people who like to verify human beings go through are purely unwell persons. Happiness is a state of ideas and likewise an emotion. in spite of the warmth feeling you get that places a grin on your face is happiness.

i dont want to talk about a saddist who enjoys inflicting pain on people(or)feels comfortable seeing others suffer.but,i think happiness differs from person to person.a man is happy if he has got a good job,trouble-free wife and children .a women feels comfortable if she has a loving husband,caring mother-in-law.i do appreciate people who help others.

Happiness is defined as the quality or state of being happy.
Happy is defined as delighted, pleased or glad over a particular thing.
HAPPINESS MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE
Something in moderation will lead to happiness: e.g. food
Something in maximum for students: e.g. marks
Something in minimum for students: e.g. mistakes while writing.
In general happiness means differentfor different people.
For the poorest, three square meals will be considered a boon,leading to happiness.Their needs are limited to basic needs of food,clothing and a roof over their head. They live with out any of the modern gadgets like telephone, television, etc
For the rich or the middle class their list of wants is endless and thier desire for happiness is never fulfilled.
HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF MIND.
BUT,HAPPINESS ARISE OUT OF TWO THINGS.
1) OUT OF MATERIALS OF POSSESSIONS
2) BY THE STATE OF MIND.
DESIRES WILL BRING UNHAPPINESS .ELIMINATION OF DESIRE WILL BRING HAPPINESS.
Being born in a rich family, getting all material comforts of life,getting married to a partner of like mindeness at the right age,getting children and seeing thier growth to adulthood and prosperity etc are strong foundations of happiness in this materialistic world.
Seeing the world with spiritualistic bent of mind and fixing it on God,everything that happen(except matters relating to loss by death of any live species in the animal kingdom or even to the loss of something in the plant kingdom) will lead to happiness.
Leading a family life, getting married to a good natured and beautiful bride , getting blessed with children who grow into useful adults to society with good education,seeing them gainfully employed and serving the nation and the humanity etc are milestones of happiness in this physical and materialistic world.
FIVE SENSES OR SENSE ORGANS(PHYSICAL BODY,MOUTH/TONGUE,EYES,NOSE &EARS) ARE TOOLS FOR PHYSICAL HAPPINESS AND MIND PLAYS A VITAL OR SUPREME ROLE IN REALISING HAPPINESS.
WEALTH WITH HEALTH ALONE WILL LEAD TO HAPPINESS.
"A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY" IS THE ROOT FOR BRINGING HAPPINESS OF ANY KIND.
FEELING HAPPY AT THE DISTRESS , OR AT THE COST OF
OTHERS OR BY CAUSING PAIN TO OTHERS IS MOST VULGAR AND BARBARIC.
AT LAST, VEDAS AND SPIRITUAL SCRIPTS DECLARE THAT HAPPINESS WITH IN AND ON HAS TO FIND IT WITH IN ONESELF.
MAY THE ALMIGHTY(REAL OR IMAGINERY) BRING HAPPINESS TO ALL BEINGS LIVING AND NON LIVING KNOWN TO HUMANITY.
