Happiness is seeking the positives in even the most negative occurences.

 

You cannot base happiness on outside events... those events may not happen as you wish, and then what?

True happiness doesn't come from your cell phone, nor does it come from the people on the other end of the ilne

See the path to happiness of those who periodically post "I'm so sad I'm gonna kill myself" and those who consistently post positively.

 

Happiness is to not see things negatively, just differently. Its a state of mind based on the eternal "why" of the universe. For every moment there is a cause, that goes back into infinity... this series of events must be appreciated before your free will can be used to direct the big picture in such a way that everyone may be compelled to make the same decision... as such arriving at world peace and our continued survival

Destructive paths are not "bad". Things work out in the end... beings that cannot co-exist with nature do not survive... there is a reason the most simple of lifeforms has been there from the start, and there was a reason it started... most definitely wasn't to turn fields to concrete.

I want to get one million dollars tomorrow, that will make me happy.... I said that 2 days ago and I'm still poor... I can be happy today because I can appreciate the path I am on... I run through eyes wide open, admiring all along the way while calculating my next step.

There is every reason in the world to be happy... sadness is a product of selfishness.

 

happiness is our fulfilled dreams and wishes

 

Life is a journey, there truly is no "fullfillment"... no happiness lies in stagnation.

A life seeking fullfillment to be happy is not a happy life... and its exactly why the majority is unhappy... perception of a troublesome path with a "happy ending"... the view that bad must lead to good, and good will eventually lead to bad... very untrue, very problematic within itself.

Things really are much simpler... there is no prerequisite to happiness, no journey... you must only BE happy, which leads to unclouded judgement so that more informed decisions can be arrived, and that happiness can be spread

 

Happiness to me is something temporary, and something that can only be achieved through material possessions. And outward circumstances of little significance. Such as getting my new board, or finally passing the 9th grade.

However, Joy is much different. Joy is when we come to peace with ourselves. Inner, mental peace that can only be achieved through being awake. Joy is also (to me) when you can find someone to cherish and express yourself to, until death do you apart.

Whether that be your mother, your wife, your best friend, whomever.

 

Semantics

But no less valid.

Happines to me is not being sad.
This can never be found outside yourself, so I find it within me.
