Happiness is feeling content and fulfilled with your life .. you know when you are happy, you feel good.

I think the question you are asking is "how do I find happiness"

On that point, it is different for every person. There is no one thing that will make you happy, and no one can tell you what will make you happy.

You have to look at your own life, recongnise the problems in your life, and work at fixing them.

But then of course sometimes we all have to face periods of unhappiness beyond our control, around deaths or break ups for example .. that is just life and it is important to work through it .. things change and get better

Happiness is what everyone else has and you do not.

to answer you're question, it's whatever you want it to be. to be honest you can't base what happieness is on other peoples visions of it. it's up to you to discover what happieness is for you.

Ferrets!!!! well... i suspose, what ever makes you happey merc

happiness can be all of those things or none of them – if you are not content in yourself nothing external is going to help you. There is no point to look for outside sources to help you with this, you have to work on you, build up your own self esteem and basically do the stuff you like to do. Read some self help books if that’s your thing. I know that might sound silly, but they tend to point out the obvious things you should be grateful for and you take for granted. Anyway, you have to start somewhere to get out of the rut, try a boards beer night, if that doesn’t put a smile on your face I don’t know what will!

One thing I know for sure, you have to start liking yourself, if you don't like something, change it

can we have a philosophy board please?

is your personal issue to do with being unhappy?
or is it that you feel you may be too happy?

what is it about your life that makes you unhappy?

surely the things that make you unhappy in life are also the things that make you happy?just different ends of the spectrum?

by the way, why did you ask us what we all think, because my views on happiness are going to be different to yours?

Happiness is waking up on a horn and having a girlfriend beside you

happiness i believe is based upon your own perceptions as is life itself. Happiness is whatever you percieve it to be, one mans nirvana could be another mans hell.

I think you need to start with the small things in life that make you happy, if you start saying "i'll only be happy when i finally have a gorgeous girlfriend, big house and a massive disposable income" your screwed from the start (if you don't already have any of them. If you start looking at others and saying "i wish i was them, they're sooo happy" your screwing yourself again. For a start others may not be as happy as you think and if you start trying to attain what makes others happy more than likely they won't make you happy when you get them.

So if your looking for what makes you happy you need to start by looking at yourself and start doing the small things which make you happy, a beer with some friends, watching a movie, having a smoke, whatever it is and build on that. Don't start examining the reasons why you are unhappy but concentrate on what does make you happy.

And without opposites no feeling could exist because you would have nothing to measure it against. If you were never sad or unhappy how would you know when your actually happy?, without anything to compare it to or no reference point you would have no concept of one or the other.
