Happiness
Thursday, December 29, 2005
Last night, we went out for dinner to a family friend’s house. It was a delightful evening, delicious food… interesting talk. The only children were Ivy and I. (Jas is considered adult) We came across a topic which I am very interested in.
How do you define happiness?
Jas answered “happy family…” that is very true… Dad also commented that in different stages of our lives, we define happiness differently. For example, in your 18-20 years of age, you would define happiness as success in studies, families, friends, having a good time partying… in 25-40ish may be finding true love, marriage, family and maybe even money and good career. This topic has opened my eyes and I’d been doing a lot of thinking.
For me, happiness is Love. In all the stages of my life, that will always be happiness. This is because it covers all the aspects of life. Love for family, love for friends, love for God, love for self and love for the world. Love includes respect, wisdom, success, faith and lots more. Without love, there will be no smiles or laughter, there’ll be no happiness. Money can’t buy love, just like money can’t buy your families and friends. Which is why ‘Money can’t buy happiness.’

Happiness can be something and by any means, anything that when that thing runs across your mind, your face beams with radiance, a lips turn into a grin, and you just get that feel-good-factor in your heart. It is indescribable.
