What is happiness?

[exdiogene]

For me :

Happiness is a feeling that is very conscience dependent and is mostly based on our own scale of values.

People having a very low state of conscience can quite easily be happy, because they hardly see whatever could affect their natural happiness.

More your state of conscience grows and more you realize the awfull things around you as well as the good things. This is the point of your scale of values importance, to determine what would have more weight in your scale: the good or the bad.

People with a very high level of conscience could then be extremely happy in life or extremely sad.

Beside the scale of values there is Faith. If you have a profound Faith you can also be very happy in life, when i say Faith i do not say religion. Because very religious persons can be sad to a point to kill people or even themselves...

One day i heard something very interresting in a movie named "StarMan", when the alien was questioned about how he was seeing humans :

"If i can say something about human beeings, it is that they are at their best when the things are at their worst and they are at their worst when the things are at their best!"

So this is explaining the root of hapiness, when there is little to expect from life, little things can be very joyfull. But when you have a lot from life you do not appreciate as much little things...

In conclusion, the happiness must not be dependent of what you receive but mostly of how you value things in your life.

P.S. Happiness i a free gift from God, that we can give ourself so easily!
