What is happiness?

Answer 1

Happiness is the feeling of a person when he is completely contended you know,
like being without tension and all your wishes being fulfilled,.............
The "wishes being fulfilled" is near impossible as desire grows every time your needs are satisfied.

Answer 2

happiness can be one of the two types-earthly or eternal.
great people say earthly happiness is nothing but an illusion. Because it dont give you absolute satisfaction. for example, if you like to eat mangoes. whenever you get chance to eat mangoes you are happy. But this happiness is not permanent. After some time you may again want to eat mangoes. now eternal happiness...great pople say it cant be explained only can be experienced...something known as parmanad. It gives you complete satisfaction, after experiencing this happiness..you are above all desires.

This is what gr8 people say about happiness...I am also serching for the meaning of happiness for me...for me perhaps it is having a loving family with full of joys.

Answer 3

Happiness is one of the emotional feeling, which the mind experiences. The external and internal factors that cause happiness varies from person to person.

Due to these various factors, when we feel happy and laughing, our mind stops functioning for a very small moment and experiences that emotional feeling whole heartedly without thinking about anything else.

One point to understand here is that Happiness is just one of the factors which helps to keep our mind still and focussed, because the intensity of that emotion is so high that mind remains still and focussed.

This experience is what everyone longs for. Without understanding this we tend to go behind the external factors to keep ourselves happy.

Answer 4

Happiness is a consistently misconceived notion, where instead of being a state of continued bliss (the myth) it is actually a momentary experience (as are all of our experiences)--one we can only hope for--as the larger universe DOES dictate our "overall" opportunites for this desired state.
Sustained it may be, but never lasting. Why is that?
Death.

Answer 7

It is a myth? I took it out of my dictionary, but there may be a chance to get it back in the short time I have left. As I recall it is that fuzzy warm feeling that you feel in your heart when you think of what or who causes that happiness. Okay, I do think I am beginning to feel it now.
