hat really is happiness?, you know, being happy.
For a lot of us our happiness depends on others, our boyfriend/girlfriend/work/mother etc,. Our happinesss depends on what they do or don't do to us or for us. But is that really what happiness should be, is that what was intended?
I feel happiness should be the feeling of inner joy, it doesn't matter whether you are alone in the world or with a million friends. I feel happiness is the joy you feel in making people happy. It's the joy of waking up in the morning and admiring the world.
I feel happiness should be independent of other people, it shouldn't really be dependent on whether things seem to be going well for us. Happiness should just be the joy of living, the joy of being alive knowing that however bad our situation is now, it could be worse and so we should be happy and grateful that we're still alive to make a change.
If we keep waiting for someone to make us feel happy then we probably will never feel that inner joy, that feeling of flying, of floating because we will keep fearing for the moment when the person wouldn't be there again and so we would never feel completely happy.
If we keep waiting for a reason to be happy then if we're happy at all it'll just be for a few moments. But if we're happy just because we're alive, just because we're us, we'll always feel fulfilled, we'll always feel good about ourselves and we'll see life in a different light, a better light.
