Change of Happiness
When I was first asked to write about what happiness means, I was very blunt and did not have depth into what I had written. Over the course, I have looked at happiness through a whole new perspective. My happiness is not measured by how content I am. It is being surrounded with the people I love, and that have the same love for me back. It is being around people that bring joy to my life, and that keep my head up. Happiness is not measured by money. You cannot buy happiness. Happiness is an outlook on life, and what life means to you. Happiness should not be taken for granted, and I believe everyone deserves the chance to be happy. You are as happy as you make yourself out to be. Happiness can be achieved by you as long as you have the mind set that you can accomplish whatever happiness means to you.

You write that happiness is not measured by how content you are, however I am curious if your contentment is based partly are happiness? It seems to be a paradox and I would like to hear more about this.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you.I think happiness is what people make it.Money alone definately can't make a person happy.Friends and family that bring love and joy to people does bring feelings of happiness that money can't replace.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you say everyone deserves a "chance to be happy." The U.S. constitution promises the "pursuit of happiness." Both place the responsibility for being happy on the individual who wants to be happy. How does one (or many) provide the opportunity for happiness; and is it possible to give more than a chance? I'm also curious how many people accept this responsibility; and how many people feel entitled to more than opportunity.
