Amy Williams' Short Version of Defining Happiness

I believe happiness is a feeling we get once an aspiration has been fulfilled. One could think of it as being cause and effect, with the effect always being happiness. The cause, however, is going to vary between each individual. To me, spending time with my family and friends would be one cause, as well as helping others. To some people, it may be materialistic items that they feel make them happy. It's a very diverse world. Therefore, we're all going to have our own personal standpoint as to what makes us happy.
