Happiness is a very complex subject. Everyone in the world is looking for happiness. Someone gets it. Someone not. Everyone defines happiness differently. But all have a common way of defining it. That is happiness is freedom from lack of what one does not have. Everyone actually thinks this way.
Many people think that having money is the real happiness. But there are many people in the world who cannot afford money but are very happy. They cannot eat properly twice a day but they are happy. On the other hand there are many people in the world with no shortage of money.
All around is money and money. But there is no happiness in their mind. There is despair in them every moment. So happiness can never be proved by money. Although money is a great determinant of happiness.But there is a greatest determinant of happiness , that is self satisfaction. There are many other things though.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
-Dalai Lama
Happiness to me is seeing the smiles on the faces of people around me. Many people say that not having any pain is happiness. This is not the case in all cases though. As for me, I will never feel happy if I see people around me suffering. But many times, even if you are suffering, you feel a little happy when you see the happiness of others. So for me happiness is to see smile on other's face.
Another great reason for my happiness is my father's smile on my face. I am never happier than when I see my parents smile. My biggest happiness is when my parents are happy with my success. Smiles on my friends' faces make me happy. It really doesn't take much to be happy. The lower your expectations, the happier you can be. Thousands of happy occasions can be created. Happiness is scattered around us. We just have to accept it.
