What creates a sense of happiness can vary widely from person to person. Young children with little life experience may find happiness in the form of an ice cream cone or Saturday morning cartoon, while adults may find happiness by traveling or pursuing outside interests. Some people require a lot of their needs to be met before they experience happiness, while others find happiness in simplicity. Happiness is said to be the one free thing all people strive for and would give anything to obtain..-----"happiness is not something to get, or take from others, Instead it is what comes naturally.

Happiness is the feeling of satisfaction, accepting and being satisfied with your life! The main factors are - love, health, achievement and sadly fortune. (Friends, family & soul-mates fall into the catagory of love!)
For me without love, life would not be worth living. Hopes of achievement would be slim, without the support of my friends and family!
I wouldn't have anybody to motivate me to want to achieve, as everything I do would be for myself! In the case that I did achieve, I wouldn't have anybody to share the special feeling of achievement with!
Fortune, wouldn't really come into the question. I would only need money to survive, or take up hobbies which I could do alone!
Lastly, the above to me sounds a very lonely, boring way of living..therefore, health wouldn't have much value to me. Whether I was or wasn't here, there wouldn't be much difference.
Its a chain-reaction, really. All of these factors depend on love!
Thank You! :-)

Money can make you very happy!! My main hate in life is work!! i am not easily entertained, i get bored very easily, i suffer fools lightly and i hate being shut up all day in a box with rules that are made up for the sake of them!! So my thread is MONEY here...

Happiness to me is my children, they are wonderful, my family and my lovely partner. Happiness is also being content with your life and loving yourself.

happiness is feeling without knowing why. just letting yourself be without asking too many questions about when it started or why its there. it can be anything that makes you think "hey, there's nothing i need to change right now" with an emphasis on need.
