Happiness Revised

My thoughts for what happiness really means as a definition has changed quite a bit. I feel that everyone does have their own form of happiness, and it comes in different ways for everyone, but I do feel that universally the definition is similar for everyone. I think that if a person feels overall content and satisfied with themselves and their personal lifestyles, then that would be a very close way to define overall happiness for everyone. Before, I felt that happiness could not be defined and that its definition was different for everyone. Now however, I feel that it can be generally summarized similarly for everyone. Reading Deep Economy and writing all of the assigned papers dealing with the reading has helped me come to a better understanding of how I feel about happiness, and what it means to me as a whole.
