YOUR definition of happiness

TheThing · 04-25-2002, 04:24 PM

first of all, everyone has different defition of happiness, one's truth is not necessarily universal. so if you see someone's opinion differ from yours, dont bash him because of that.

so mine:

It is a moment when you realize that life isn't so terrible after all, whether is because you achieved something or surpass your own shortcomings or experience certain kindness etc.

to crush your enemies,see them driven before you,and to hear the lamentation of their women!
in real life though it would be to have all the things i need(family,home,safety) and some of the things i want(a better stereo,huge tv,lots of cds and movies).

When you wake up in the middle of the night, walk out on your balcony, and realize that nothing you can think of could make your life any more complete than it is now.

When you realize that those around you are not contemplating anything negative against you.

When the world has no more poverty, over-rich people, starvation or racism and you have a job you are content with.

When you realise that you have truly helped someone in a major way.

However sappy it might sound my answer would have to be: True love.

Of course that's both the love of a wife/girlfriend as well as the love of one's friends [img]smile.gif[/img] As Sigmar said knowing that I've truly helped someone gives me a warm, fuzzy, happy feeling inside, so that's also something that makes me happy [img]smile.gif[/img]

stay healthy,live good and honest,have a few REAL good friends (very important), and make people around you happy from time to time
oh, and an occasional cold one will do too

Laughter - if I can have a laugh with my mates that's happiness! Sounds basic, but it works for me.
