Happiness gives the dark sunlight
The addiction that lasts from day to night
The thing thats always worth the good fight
Happiness is what you make it
Happiness is love
Happiness is an emotion
That so many people shove
Happiness is frauded
By greed, lust and power
And people will do anything
To be at the highest tower
That happiness can provide
The time you abide
as you stand by the side
of the river called disappointment
Looking for some happiness
Because the sadness has gotten old
So you pan for happiness in a river of sadness
And end up with fools gold..
But it doesn't matter because its still shiny.. =)
So what is happiness?
An undefinable thing to start
But once it gets going it is forever
A feeling embodied in the heart
Written by.. Me, from the top of my head hehe =)
There's happiness ^_^

I once defined happiness as a mental state in which one was driven to remain, which is wrong. However, i think the difference between such a state and happiness is the same as the difference between wanting and liking. Someone might like sugar in their coffee but not want it because they were trying to lose weight. If you can work out what the difference between those two states is and apply it to the description above, i'm pretty sure you'll have a definition of happiness.

Happiness is a glow in your heart and on your face ..... it is not permanent, merely fleeting, but nevertheless very real. It is an absence of negative emotion but can quickly subside to nothing. I think that when people say they are happy, they enjoy contentment more so as contentment is an ongoing state ... happiness is an elated sense of contentment and as it is fleeting, should be savoured and remembered at every opportunity. Hence the true value of "now".

Happiness to me. Knowing my family are in good health and things are going good for them makes me feel happy. also
Happiness to me is walking by the sea watching the waves crashing down on a bright cold sunny day .
Having a meal in a nice restaurant with my husband.
all these things are happiness to me. Oh and a glass of red wine or two make me happy too.
What is happiness to you?

Well everyone sees happiness in big things & so do I but I do feel lucky that most of the times I can find happiness in small things not just for myself but for others too ! I do think "being happy" is what life is all about ! :)

Happiness is the state of being happy.
What determines happy is dependent on one's values, experiences, and recognition of how one's emotions affect his or her being.

Comfort and contentment.
A glass of something cold and sparkling and a box of chocolates help as does good company,
Freedom from money worries, not wanting the impossible.

Happiness is a state of mind, illusive and transient. It is illusive especially when interpreted and sought only materialistically. And even when origins of our happiness are strongly realistic, or highly spiritual, it is difficult to maintain a state of euphoria or elation for long as we would like after the needs of our common habitual of keeping material possession.
Normally we understand things better when they are materialised in our life, we like happiness to be materialise too - I would be happy if I have this or that, but in our actual life where it is not only our achievements that get materialised but also our failures in most worldly sense make part of our life. Therefore, where we feel happiness, we are also bound to feel sadness and sorrow, which as just opposite sides of the same coin tossed into possibilities, the life.
The best form of happiness in my view, however, is the state of mind developed through regular practices and deliberate acts of resolution. We could develop an attitude of general contentment towards most things in life, and then we could also learn to stay attuned in acceptance with gratitude in our heart and nobility and humbleness in the mind; we could learn to sacrifice things of mere physical value upon things of higher emotional, social and spiritual value to enable us to experience happiness of a much refined nature, ultimately to be happiness instead of just trying to feel happiness.
In general pursuit of happiness is quite sensible way to develop in this world, as long as we keep to our objective purposes, keep refining our sense of being happy. It would be insensible to live in torture and suffering without having any good purpose in view, or without any good reason, for this is also possible in this world where there is injustice and oppression.
This is true that we could appreciate happiness even more when we are actually happy, but in the times of our happiness we are very likely to concern ourselves with thoughts: lest these happy moments should pass. We never like happy times to pass, we want them to be forever, which is a kind of dilemma of being happy at times.

It's an emotion that everyone, sometime in their life feels, like joy or excitment
