skylive5 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 http://www.selfknowledge.com/42891.htm Happiness (Hap"pi*ness) n. [From Happy.] 1. Good luck; good fortune; prosperity. "All happiness bechance to thee in Milan!" Shak. 2. An agreeable feeling or condition of the soul arising from good fortune or propitious happening of any kind; the possession of those circumstances or that state of being which is attended enjoyment; the state of being happy; contentment; joyful satisfaction; felicity; blessedness. While I was in the bolded area for many years... I no longer reside in that state. However.... it does bring me contentment that the vast majority of Huddler's appear to be in a state of happiness. Just the way I would have hoped it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBalla Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 I love immediate things like the next football game (espcially tomorrow's game) but, there is so many great things out there....making yourself a better human is about balancing immediate wants vs long term goals which equal more enduring satisfaction.. Having a great partner is imperative to this...IMO. 1305873[/snapback] I agree...amazing. The first day of going home to an empty house after you've divorced your psychopathic, manic-depressive wife. Also the day you get out of the Army with discharge papers and a plane ticket in hand. 1305979[/snapback] I have my discharge certificate framed...I wasn't regular Army...National Guard but it still means a lot. id have to combo a couple.... just got back form taken the boy ice fishen........ he caught his first eye.... about a 4 pounder threw the ice... the whole lake new about it as he took it around and showed it to everyone 1306034[/snapback] I hope to know those thrills in due time.

Bier Meister Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 To me, most of these options describe a cause of joy. To me, happiness is more of a state of being, not dependent upon a single cause. 1306021[/snapback] yatzee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thews40 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The first day of going home to an empty house after you've divorced your psychopathic, manic-depressive wife. Also the day you get out of the Army with discharge papers and a plane ticket in hand. 1305979[/snapback] Good info here. Too many aspects in defining one which out trumps another form of happy. I would vote for knowing you are content. If your life is happy and you're content, then that's happiness. You can have it all (from another's perspective) and be miserable if you're not content.
