What is happy to you. I am not looking for dictionary meaning; but rather what you see as happy.

Happiness to me is waking up everyday and thanking God
for all the blessings he has given me. Simple things! There
are so many things to be thankful for .It is human nature that makes us take these things for granted. It is only when you lose something, then you began to value it more. Like your health or loss of a loved one.Your job, food or a place to live.
The simple blessings in life are precious if your heart and eyes are open, we just have to be capable of being grateful.
If we are grateful, it is really neat. Everything becomes a blessing!

this is hard to define. Personally I see happiness as the opposite of sadness.
Happiness couldn't exist in a situation without a person being there to make a judgment call. So happiness is a personal thing.

Actual happiness is beyond the material conception. There is no real happiness in the material world. IT is a perverted reflection of the true happiness that exists on the spiritual platform. We can only be truly happy if we are connected with our Creator also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. This world is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here (the less intelligent ones, that's us) Unless we are acting in our constitutional position then we will not be actually happy. Happiness in the material world is compared to a drop of water in desert. In doesn't satisfy it only increases ones misery.

Happy is when one do not feel sad and walking around with frown on their face and bad personality. It is someone that radiates a smile to others at all times. Happy goes lucky.

Happiness is an ephemeral quality. I think that contentment and feeling comfortable with yourself despite the trials and tribulations of everyday life is much more important and enduring.

Knowing that all those I care about are doing well. Knowing that the job I'm doing is being done well. I'd be REALLY REALLY happy if we could all stop fighting but ... ya can't have everything. Or can you?

i think it's like that quote mentioned, only switched around. one is happy when they have everything they want.
for example...i went out to eat and i was waiting forever for my food. i wanted that food so bad and i was in such a horrible mood because it was taking so long. all i could think about was getting that food! then the food came...and i was happy. in that moment when i was eating i was so happy to be eating and nothing else mattered. it was great.
so having everything you want. maybe not just in general, because i don't think anyONE could have EVERYTHING that they ever wanted. but in one moment if you can get that one thing on your mind that you want, you can be happy. a kiss, a sandwich, a new car.

One thing that makes me happy is knowing from feedback that my answer has really helped someone with a life-changing piece of knowledge.

I am happy when I see others that are happy.
