Ranging God speaks the truth, There's no place to flame here, If you are there only for flame and call other people idiot, Then you know what to do...

//Mod talk.

Back on topic, I think Again that Ranging God speaks the Truth, When you are in love, You always -or almost- have a good mood everyday.

Well maybe this is not for everybody, But it works fine for me.

Happiness is what a person feels once they feel they've achieved everything they desire and own everything they want and need. It's probably better to describe happiness as the pinnacle of greed. ^_^

Yet, if you posess all of which you desire there would be nothing else to acheive. Therefore happiness is impossible to have ALL the time. Therefore eternal hapiness is impossible to reach. It's like an endless cycle.

I beleive that if you never feel pain (which, incidentally is what many people think of as happiness) then you cannot feel great happiness because what you are feeling is better than anything that has happened before. I think of life as a diet- it needs to be balanced; full of happiness but also consisting of some grief or sadness.

I do not have an answer but if you analyse the question "What is the secret to being truly happy?" then surely it is a secret.

I think the best way to living a happy life for me would be to spend countless hours just having fun with my family. I love hanging around with my parents and sibling, and I'm always happy when a relative from far away comes to visit us. The thing about family is, no matter what you do, you will still be loved.

I feel everyday is going to be terrible, so if a tiny scrap of a good thing happens then i am usually very happy...

I also think Ranging God is right with his theory concerning when you are in love you need nothing but being with... but of course love is like a water on paper, it (almost)always dries up but if you keep it safe it dries slower, and there are always the options of re moistening it (doing something special that sparks it back to life) or squeezing out the rest of the water (breaking up)

From all of what I've read, Brad was the closest in comparison to my thoughts on "true happiness". I think that if you're going to be happy you need to love others very close to you. No matter how many or how small this may be if you do have this I think true happiness is very obtainable. Mainly when having to go through each good and bad moment; experiencing the joy and tears together must be the best feeling.

I've seen people who are proud of their achievements however face disappointment when failed to a challenge but I've faced people who love the experience they had with others and refuse to let little competition take down that feeling so easily.
