Happiness-revised

At first my definition of happiness was short, sweet and to the point. I have found out that this word is more complicated to define than one would think. By listening and observing many peopl, i understand that happiness can be brought about in many different ways. With this being said, we still have the same bases as our source of happiness. Through the reflection i went when writing a Happiness Reflective Essay, i was able to use and think through my own experiences to try and understand what happiness meant to me. I then realized from this reflection that I value the quality of happiness over the quantity of happiness it may yield. From writing the Summary Strong Response Essay about the book Deep Economy, i learned that happiness is often seen in a distorted view. Our economy focuses on more and better to achieve happiness, when really when having this mindset may hurt us at points. I believe we need to spend less time achieving more and better, and put more time and effort in our relationships. I still strongly believ that relationships have alot to do with how happy a person is.
