Are you happy? If so please explain why. I'm curious about what exaclty makes people happy.?

Question

I am not asking this because I want to pry into your lives. I just want to know why some people are happy when they have little and why some people are sad when they have so much.

Answer 1

I don't know if I am truely happy.. That is because I don't think that I have found out who I really am as of yet. I am on the path of figuring this out though, and I believe that is the path to happiness.. Knowing yourself.

Answer 2

I look back on my life and think "I did a good job". My kids grew up to be productive members of society, I've got a house (which is no mean deal anymore), I pay my bills, average Joe---not like I started out. None of the above mentioned things did I care about when I was younger. I did none of those things on a regular basis, thus making big problems for me. Yes, I am happy. I have done more than I could have hoped for from where I started out.

Answer 3

I am happy at the moment and this moment is not going to last forever.right?Moderen man is so used to stick to every possible thing that he has lost the spontaniety.i am happy because it is my secret of survival and I have learned it after a lifetime(39 years now).I have struggled a lot to get things in order too and has improved my mental state by telling me again and againthat hard times are over.

Answer 4

Because money and things do not buy happiness. Happiness comes from within yourself..not something you can buy for yourself.

People tend to see things one of twoways..half empty or half-full..you can always find people with more and or less than yourself..just depends on what you want to focus on..I find people who compare and try to keep up with the jones are destined to be unhappy...

keeping the focus on self and bettering self is a much more productive way of spending your time!
