Happiness An emotion is an intense feeling. Happiness is one of the many emotions humans experience. It may perhaps be the most important feeling a person can have and it is the one feeling everyone strives to achieve, yet strangely, for the most part, people seem to only get a glimpse of it. Pleasurable satisfaction, a state of well-being and contentment are the more outstanding elements of happiness. Happiness, known more formally as felicity, is good. A state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy and can be applied to almost every kind of enjoyment.
It can be defined and characterized in several ways- metaphorically, by life’s everyday pleasures, and by the behaviors and accomplishments of a happy person. This emotion can be metaphorically compared with expressions such as, the sun shining through the rain and the “silver lining behind the dark cloud”. These expressions capture the optimistic outlook of happiness, they symbolize hope of a bigger, better and brighter future even in the midst of what could be termed as our inner happiness.

What is Happiness?
What is Happiness?
Well, what is happiness? To begin with it is not a fact that has a two-line definition to it. It is a level at which your wants come closer to the facts of life, making both sides equal. When this equilibrium is attained then your temporary phase of happiness arrives.
As happiness arrives at a personnel level therefore there is no precise definition of happiness. It is basically a personnel feeling and it can be triggered at different situations. Some of these situations are like; happiness is where there is no fear in your heart. Happiness is where you are on top of the world. Happiness could be where confidence flows. Happiness is peace of mind. Happiness is opposite to you; therefore it is a temporary stage of not being yourself.
Happiness is across the sea, but indeed a click away, hence your destination. It presides in everything but it is up to you how to find it. If someone says that I am happy that means either his surroundings were sad or he doesn't know what happiness is!
Money is happiness and happiness is like money, you want more and more till you are no more. No man has yet acquired happiness to its fullest. There is always a stage beyond the current one.
Of course there has to be this stage where innocence gives a shelter. If you fall into this category then happy equals sad hence everything is fine and you have nothing to attain on this road.
As this topic is so broad, I am sure I will be missing other prospective of happiness. It is all upon personnel choice and level of thinking. To conclude I would say that the key to this lock depends on what category you fall into and hope that everyone finds his or her own key.
