How do you measure HAPPINESS?? What makes you happy?

On "have you say", BBC this question was posed.

Have you ever heard that…

Nigeria has the happiest people in the worldEmotion: surprise ( in spite of the fact that it suffers from poverty and famine) In Romania ,on the contrary, most population are unhappy!!! (According to statistics done in 2003) What makes people of Nigeria happyEmotion: thinking??

Also 50% of the people in the West think that happiness relies on being rich, healthy and having more holidays (I mostly agree with the last oneEmotion: big smile)

Anyway, I believe this question differs from person to another according to his/her culture and the way he/she is raised up ..

What makes you happy? that's my question.

To me,

1. leading a very good spiritual life. ( your meaning of life)Emotion: big smile

2. consequently, having that inner peace of oneself. (it's within you)[H]

3. Convincing yourself with everything happened to you doesn't make you happy but rather striving for a clear purpose.[Y]

4. Good relation with people, particularly FAMILY.[K][L]

4. Feeling full after being hungry for a long time ( I cant overlook this)Emotion: wink

Oh my list prolongs Emotion: stick out tongue… that's enough though I have 1000 reasons for happiness every day.

P.S Seeing replies to my post definitely makes me HAPPY.Emotion: big smile

I don't think Lemoncookie that without cause you are happy. It's your lovely and bright look at life. It's something pretty within you. May be just being alive (breathing, eating, playing, doing anything human being can do) is enough to be happy all the time.

what do you think??

There are many things that make me happy:my family,my best friend,love,to win a table tennis match vs my cousin,polite people,swimming,cartoons,a new flower that grows in my garden,to watch the snow that falls in winter,a sunny spring day,the perfumes of summer,and the autumn colours..I can say that little things make me happy..

I think the most happiness life that a one can live is when he has food for his day and peace for his life and a *** to thank.

THAT'S IT...

Well, I think that it's the "small things" that really makes you happy. I mean, having clean water, enough food everyday, etc., is of course some basic elements. However, if you don't have those things you can manage to be happy anyway. I think it's a question on what you were brought up with in these cases.

What I believe makes us all truly happy is love and to be loved, friends, talking

It seems to me that people who have experienced hardship in their lives, often are the ones to experience happiness more easily. Going through the bad stuff makes you appreciate the good.
I notice people I know who have had an easy life with no struggle pain or loss, are usually less apreciative of what they do have .

Fully agree with you Robyn and everybody all in the varities of happiness; under beautiful weather with somebody speaking sweet, walking under the rain with somebody, fulfil the hunger, good health, good relationship and peace. All are our life style, I am really happy with them too. Sometime, we can't stay in peace all the time because of work, business or in problems. For my opinion to captur
