Happiness - so simple but so complex word. Literally it means "pleasure, joy, exhilaration, bliss, contentedness, delight,enjoyment, satisfaction." It is a feeling which is different for different individuals. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson "Hume's doctrine was that the circumstances vary, the amount of happiness does not; that the beggar cracking fleas in the sunshine under a hedge, and the duke rolling by in his chariot; the girl equipped for her first ball, and the orator returning triumphant from the debate, had different means, but the same quantity of pleasant excitement." One thing about happiness is that - more you spread the more you experience it. As i have mentioned earlier it is having different meaning for different people. Some might like sharing happy memories of their own life, some might get it by just sitting alone and spending time with self. Happiness is undying quench of life. It is insatiable hunger of human being.

For me happiness is having a limited scope. I feel happiness in serving my parents, spending quality time with my family, viewing my favorite team's matches and see them winning, achieving tough objectives and most importantly make people smile. It might be looking very silly but it really takes wholeheartedly efforts to experience it. I would like to see people smile in tough times. It really creates a positive energy which gives courage and confidence to face any situation in life. Life is too small to indulge into pity issues. Its all about spreading the positive energy. There will be lot of pain in the world and there should be lot of sorrow, pain in this world without these lamentable moments, happiness would have significant value. Lastly i would like to end my what so ever small understanding on happiness by a quote from Rabindranath Tagore - " The most important lessons that man can learn from his life is not that there is pain in this world, but ..that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy".
