Thanks, racyandy.

Well, that is what i feel about being happy. I have always faked happiness. All the while i thought being happy is to be cheerful, making jokes, laughing a lot, never being serious in life, take things easy. But recent incidences has changed me and my perception about what is happiness.
I am more mature. I am more serious. And I realise being serious doesn't mean u are stressed or being unhappy. There is a quote about happiness that goes :

"The really happy man never laughs -- seldom -- though he may smile. He does not need to laugh, for laughter, like weeping is a relief of mental tension -- and the happy are not over strung."

Aveling, Prof. F. A. P. on Happiness

So being happy is not to laugh all the time. What i have written in my previous post is what how i describe happiness is.

Aristotle: Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient

Buddha: Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.

Helen Keller: When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Jesus you're all so confused. Your either happy or you arent, okay? If you were happy, you'd know it. Being not happy doesnt mean depressed. You could be bored, disappointed, anxious, busy, tired, whatever.

Thanks, Fatality.

Yup, it depends on if u mean short term or long term. Short term could be just having some good time at that moment. Long term is the what u feel throughout your life. the past, the present n the future.
