What is your idea of happiness?
Is it a materialistic idea that if you have your playstation 3 and every game you want then you are happy? If you have food, clothes and a roof over your head then you are happy and content?
Does anybody have full happiness in themselves and their goals and achievements?
Are you the type of person that is always happy when they have a girlfriend or boyfriend?
I am currently on the quest for my own inner happiness i just wanna know what your ideas are about the concept of happiness?!
Thank you,
Kev

Happyness is just electrons flowing into your brain to make you react to something.

Well happiness for me is something unknown...... for me happiness is the smile on the face of a poor man who when I help him. actually helping others makes me happy.
Giving water to a thirsty person, food to a hungry person and helping the needy gives me real happiness. Spiritual advancement also sometimes makes me happy.
By the way I wanted to post an article, you can tell me the topic by pming me and maybe I will try to educate the users. (send me some article which is good)

Happiness is a notoriously hard thing to quantify, because its totally subjective, like pain.
I find it hard to accept the idea that happiness is just brain stimulation.
All the things we think constitute happiness can usually be linked to other independently held goods. Cohering with out conception of the 'good life'.
Things like Freedom, money, religion, interpersonal relationships.
But these do not necessarily make people happy.
So, what is happiness? I cannot provide an answer right now. But it is not just what is detailed above.
What makes me happy these days is the feeling that i am alive, flesh and bone.
That i am a body, an animal. But also a mind, a self aware being. Being able to form ideas opinions, engage with whatever life is, then express it in ways that communicate to many people. It sounds like hippy nonsense. But realizing where i am in life, even that i am alive, can make me happy.
I have provided my 2 cents.
Hail hail.

Happiness is...smashing those losers who come to visit me and the end up climbing all over me and exploring MY secret passages
