What does it mean to be happy?

Well, I would say that happiness is based on happenings, so to speak - happiness is very short-term and based on whether things are going well or not.\n\nOn the other hand, true joy is not based on events, and therefore can be a continual thing. What is joy based on, what causes joy? Joy comes from a relationship with God, doing His will, and being content with the circumstances and things that He has given you. Without God, you can have (very) temporal happiness, but not eternal joy.

Always remember, happiness is a state of the mind...\nwhen we are happy our mind is the one that gives us this feeling of happiness not the heart...-lil bro\n\nIts because of the Hypothalamus in the brain which controls our emotions. I wish I could take it out(or at least the part of it  which controls the emotions which I dunno where)...if only it werent that important...(it controls our whole body!) then we can live without emotions. Now that would be fun.   -me ü

you apreciate life by accepting what you do and what you have, therefore you can be happy about your life...  you can't always have what you want, just be happy about what you have and don't want too many things...  you can also do things that help others, that may make you feel better about yourself too

The meaning of true happiness would be knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life and growing strong in your relationship with Him. My joy and peace come from Christ Jesus. Knowing that you have eternal life in Him brings true happiness.

i think happiness is when you dont have to worry about anything and everything falls in the right place. Being with the people that love you and having fun like nothing else matters but that very monment.

Depending on what the system defined as happy.  Would individuals still have free will or be pumped solid with endorphins to produce euphoric and continual "happiness"?  Would we still search for meaning?  True happiness would be a realm where we ceased to suffer.  If we are not continually intellectually and emotionally satisfied then we suffer, no matter what the setting.

Happiness is a relative term.  It is a mental state in which one feels a sense of fulfilment.  One can experience happiness through interaction with external sources, for example, reading a good book, or achieving something.  Happiness can also be experienced through pure internal exercise, say by meditation. Whether experienced through external or internal sources, happiness is completely an internal mental state and is restricted to the person experiencing it.  What brings happiness for one may not do so for another.\nHappiness achieved through meditation are long lasting.

We are only happy if there is a possibilty to be sad. if we have everything, we have no reason to be sad, so we're not happy. but we forget that if we lose everything, we can be sad too. so be happy.
