Happiness
What is Happiness.
Happiness like love cannot be defined. How do I know whether I am happy or not.
Question: If I have a lot of money, am I happy?
Answer: Maybe. But money is not happiness
Question: If I'm around my loved one. Am I happy?
Answer: Maybe. But supposing I have no money, struggling to make ends meet and deep in debt, how can I be happy.
Question: If I enjoy what I do for a living. Am I happy?
Answer: Maybe. But you never seem to enjoy something for too long.
I think it's very rare that anyone ever feels that they are happy and content in life for a period of time. We always want that something more, that we don't have today, to be happy. Once you have that, you want something more. Something that you can't have.
So can we ever be happy this way? We are always in the path to reach happiness and never reach it.

True happiness will come only from the realization that what 'lasts' is what gives happiness. Nothing in this materialistic world lasts. Therefore, none of what you quoted is true happiness.
