Happiness is an imaginary condition, formerly attributed by the living to the dead, now usually attributed by adults to children, and by children to adults.
--Thomas Szasz
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. ~Frederick Keonig
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~Dalai Lama

Happiness is an emotion. So is sadness, love, hate, curiosity, revulsion, excitement, jealousy, contentment, depression, anxiety, fear, guilt and anger. All emotions have causes, causes which can be understood and controlled.
The emotion of happiness is not caused simply by entertaining your whims. Happiness is not merely a life lived by accumulating moments of pleasure. On the contrary, happiness is a long lasting enduring enjoyment of life, it is being in love with living. It is your reward for achieving a good character and personal rational values in life. Some important values are a productive career, romance, friendship and hobbies.
Achieving these values requires rationality and takes effort and skill. Two types of skills you can use are thinking skills and valuing skills.
Once you learn to have confidence in your own mind and once you discover the virtues that make it possible for you to achieve your values and that make your life worth living, then you will experience the result - an earned pride and a genuine self-esteem. And of course happiness.

you're incorrect. many people make bogus arguments based off of our founding records with out understanding completely what they state and can't probable have an honest interpretation of their intentions. regularly, fragments of the contents are taken and study with out regard for the context surrounding it, in basic terms as you have. i'd be inspired in case you even comprehend what records those phrases come from with out looking them up. The checklist states that we are born equivalent with particular unalienable rights, of them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It does not say that we are born equivalent in actual appearances, social status, financial type, and textile possession and entitlements, etc. it rather is interior the sense of our inalienable rights that we are equivalent, to pursue happiness if we so %, the fulfillment or failure of that relies upon on situations allowing, that can in no way be certain, inspite of people wanting it to be so.
