For me happiness is :
Don't be afraid to show your sense of hum or. some incidents are funny, and you can't avoid them. Laugh with others and at yourself freely and naturally.

Secret to be happy:


1. Be friendly always.
2. Be free from arguments.
3. Be Honest. No one is perfect.
4. Be big enough to admit errors.
5. Be Understanding ; please remember that love and respect are two most important to be happy always.
6. Be warm. give warm fuzzies freely. Recognize unacceptable behaviour for what it is; a symptom.

the need for attention or affection, the expression of fear, resentment, or insecurity maybe a basic problem .

I think you could be the happiest person as I am by being positive in life, Life is though a challenge try to overcome it and be happy always.


If you are happy you will surely be peaceful, they are both dependent on each other.

Happiness is an agreeable feeling or condition
arising from good fortune or propitious happening
of any kind. It is the possession of those
circumstances or that state of being which is
attended with enjoyment. It is associated with
good luck, good fortune, prosperity, well-being,
delight, health, safety, and love.

Happiness is generic, and is applied to almost
every kind of enjoyment except that of the animal
appetites. It ia a state of well-being
characterized by emotions ranging from contentment
to intense joy. These include: bliss, joy, joyous,
carefree, jubilant, exultant, cheerful, playful,
amused, fun, glad, gay, gleeful, jolly, jovial,
delighted, euphoric, ecstatic, thrilled, elated,
enraptured, comfortable, harmonious, and
triumphant. Societies, religions, and individuals
have various views on the nature of happiness and
how to pursue it.

Only saint-like persons, who feel that they are no
longer interested in the external world, think
that happiness is within. For many persons,
nothing can make them happy. Our minds are as
different as our finger prints - no two are alike.
Listening to loud music makes one happy and makes
another unhappy. Hence, there can be no single
definition for happiness. It is probably
impossible to objectively define happiness as
humans know and understand it, as internal
experiences are subjective by nature. Because of
this, explaining happiness as experienced by one
individual is as pointless as trying to define the
color green such that a completely color blind
person could understand the experience of seeing
green.

If happiness were to be measured by what one has, then
people with the most possessions would be happiest, but
that is not the case. Infact those who are really
happy, possess nothing except happiness itself.
For some persons, happiness is outward, not inward.
It depends on what we do, not what we have.

As a state and a subject, it has been pursued and
commented on extensively throughout world history.

"Call no man happy till he is dead." - Aeschylus

"Happiness is a positive cash flow." - Fred Adler

"Many persons have a wrong idea of what
constitutes true happiness. It is not attained
through self-gratification but through fidelity to
a worthy purpose." - Joseph Addison

"True happiness arises, in the first place, from
the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from
the friendship and conversation of a few select
companions." - Joseph Addison

Happiness is often associated with the presence of
favourable circumstances such as a supportive
family life, a loving marriage, and economic
stability. Kali Yuga, the age of darkness, is the
time when these favourables are difficult to find.

Unfavorable circumstances - such as abusive
relationships, accidents, loss of employment, and
conflicts - diminish the amount of happiness a
person experiences. In all nations, factors such
as hunger, disease, crime, corruption, and warfare
can decrease happiness. However, according to
several ancient and modern thinkers, happiness is
influenced by the attitude and perspective taken
on such circumstances.

From the observation that fish must become happy
by swimming, and birds must become happy by
flying. Aristotle points to the unique abilities
of man as the route to happiness. Of all the
animals only man can sit and contemplate reality.
Of all the animals only man can develop social
relations to the political level. Thus the
contemplative life of a monk or professor, or the
political life of a military commander or
politician will be the happiest according to their
own psyche.

Further, happiness is not entirely psychological
in nature - it has got a biological basis too. The
neurotransmitter dopamine is involved in desire
and seems often related to pleasure. Pleasure can
be induced artificially with drugs. Use of drugs
is not some thing new, it has been used by many
including Sanyasis since millenia.

Peaceful life requires no worries, no enemies, no fast/restless work, no hurries- to achieve this type of life one has to become either saint or philosopher.

Happy life requires good earnings, lot of friends, healthy family, little social service, little selfishness,.

Choice is yours.
