What is happiness?

[cloudy]

"Happiness is hard to notice and even if you do, it takes a lot of effort and care to make it yours. We all strive to be happy. Happiness is hard to get hold of and does not stay with you for a long time. Even if you work hard for a long time, you might fail to be happy. But, no one can predict our future. If we keep moving forward endlessly if we keep trying if we keep our lives. I believe that day will come".

"That's what happiness is like. It's a difficult thing. But even when you do open your eyes in the morning to begin your day. And quietly live your life today, you may be achieving that difficult thing. And making someone happy at this moment. To some, you are maybe someone to be thankful for, you may not realize it. But just by living like this, you should know you have lived a life"

Happiness is a state of mind. You can still be happy even when your circumstances are bad. The way to happiness is to be grateful for who you are and what you have and have not.

Well said.

Rightly said happiness is a state of mind. Basically thoughts.

It is much easier when you are in a peaceful place where you can think what you want. No outside interference.

It is much harder when you constantly have to talk to people who will be part of your thoughts throughout the day with their own views which you need to process and address.

Why do people do that to themselves? The strive for better.

So to become better you really have to force yourself to be unhappy. Unsatisfied. Yearn for better for more.

Some definitions of happiness make it seem almost to be content to let go to be still.

I think happiness can also come from overcoming the impossible. Beating the foe. Winning the glory. Achieving the heights. But usually through such journeys there will be anguish and sadness and despair as well.

It is all part of life.

Happiness is just one of many in the journey of life.

I agree. Especially when you have family

Cos one lousy fucker father unhappy but rich means the children and wife probably happy.

those jealous poor fuckers are the ones who keep saying that money cant buy happiness bcos they are sour grapes and cant stand to see the rich enjoying their lives

...... and living long enough to spend every dollar.

Actually no leh.

No need live so long. And I dont want to spend every dollar.

Will put money in a family trust. Pay out to family only the interest or dividends. 80% payout. 20% reinvested to grow the principal.

But winning 50M means I have more time to live life and not spend time on loser unhappy people as part of work.

It is the same with religion.

Tell you dont chase material.

Appeals to the lazy and losers.

Happiness is to see PAP retain its supermajority in Parliament. With PAP running Singapore, sinkies can sleep peacefully at night knowing that their streets are safe, their jobs secure and the prices of their homes will always remain high.
