What exactly is happiness? Is it possible to define it?

 Happiness is one of the most often used terms in the English language. We’re all saying — the children are smiling with great joy. Today has brought me a lot of joy. You don’t appear to be in good spirits. Is there a reason? What can be done to make the world a happier place? How can I prevent having sad sensations and instead feel happy? What medication may we use to aid us? The subject of happiness is a never-ending debate. Is there a scientific definition of happiness that everyone can agree on? There are general responses accessible that indicate that happiness is a state of being when one feels pleasant, exhilarated, pleased, excellent, and so on and so forth. Is happiness a gift that lasts a lifetime or an emotion that lasts for a short period of time?

If I win the lotto, I will be overjoyed. As I squander all of my money, my mood begins to deteriorate. When you describe me as a nice person, I am delighted; yet, when you curse me, I am extremely disappointed. It makes me sad to look at the body of an old friend who has passed away, but it makes me glad to gaze at the smiling smiles of children. We have no control over the situation. Our emotions are controlled by external factors and experiences. We’re all just toys, really. That is incapable of acting of its own volition. Even if it is tough to accept, this is real.

Let’s look at what isn’t a source of happiness. Feelings of despair, sadness, guilt, helplessness, frustration, lack of interest, and uncertainty are all negative emotions that are not conducive to a happy life. They are more likely to make us sad. Let us now consider what it means to be happy. Feeling good, having a cheery perspective, having positive ideas, having winning attitudes, living a contented life, enjoying oneself, and many other emotions that make us feel good are all examples of pleasant sentiments.

Is happiness the same for every person on the planet? If I donate a particular amount to a small number of individuals, some may become quite happy, while others may get upset, and still, others may not care in any case. Is it apparent what I’m trying to say? As a result, pleasure is not something that we all experience in the same proportion. I may be overjoyed while I watch the stars twinkle in the night sky, yet you may be content with simply the bright sunlight. In this way, every one of us is happy in his or her own way.

Some of us are content when we receive a significant sum of money, while others are content when they have the opportunity to perform a great deal of creative work, while yet others are content when they can help others feel good, and so on. Each of us has our own set of values and aspirations that distinguishes us from others. We, on the other hand, are frequently unaware of their existence. In order to make people happy, it becomes increasingly difficult, and this ignorance is at the root of the majority of interpersonal issues. The distinctions in our emotional reactions, on the other hand, distinguish us as human beings; otherwise, we are no different from animals.
