Whatever puts a smile on your face.

Fulfillment in life I guess.

If you don't smile I will ass-rape you with a cactus.

Attempting to give a definition to such a complex emotion serves only to constrain it. The fact there's a word to describe that type of feeling is good enough. There is no one true definition of happiness. Many scholars would agree that happiness is a life without pain and suffering, but bodybuilders and career soldiers would disagree. Others would define happiness as a fleeting comment where all cares and worries seem to vanish--naturally others would call this irresponsible. So what really is happiness? Its definition is different for each individual.

Block and Hage: That's why I made this thread! My ethic prof has been claiming that it's impossible all semester, and I certainly couldn't come up with an definition to prove him wrong. Wanted to see what other people tried to define it as.

But what does it mean to be happy? That's what this thread is asking.

Nobody "stays happy", it's not how we're wired.

Happiness wouldn't be possible without sadness. You can't know you are happy if you wasn't sad before.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."

- John Lennon

This has to be my most corny post ever. I should type it in pink.
