What is hapiness?

platinummatt

What do you think truue hapiness is and how do you achieve it.
I think many things can make you happy, but the true or pure one can only be achieved with yourself, not outside influences.
Other forms etc can be love, helping people etc. many things.

Happiness is a state of mind. What makes you happy can make someone else bitter.

I dont think there is a divide between the 'outside' and the 'inside'. I believe everything effects everything.
So eventhough happiness or any emotion is i guess a state of mind, we cannot shut ourselves off from what happens around us.

Is happiness contentment? Or is contentment closer to indifference?

when you experience it, you know it.
i don't think it is a state that you can achieve and maintain for a lifetime. perhaps it is contentment or "at peace with one self" that you are thinking of.
