The pursuit of happiness !!

Salam every body ,

It's just wonderful to see a special corner for using JUST ENGLISH , as we know learning a language is absolutely based on practice that's why I'm looking farward to see more people attending that corner and give us the chance to develop this beautiful language .

I just wanna open a new subject and see how people look to happiness since every one came from different backgrounds .

So my question is , What is " HAPINNESS " for you and when you really feel " HAPPY " .

Until I see somebody in the corner I wish you all a happy life .

Thank you Koukia for your participation , your words are just wonderful , it's not necessary to be the one who wrote it , it is enough to feel them and believe in their meaning and then try to make them obvious in the real life .


wish you all the happiness

waiting to hear from the others

hay every one first thank you very much red.rose
second this is not my words. I like to discuss this informations with you.

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling such as contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.A variety of philosophical, religious, psychological and biological approaches have been taken to defining happiness and identifying its sources.

Philosophers and religious thinkers have often defined happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this older sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics. In everyday speech today, however, terms such as well-being or quality of life are usually used to signify the classical meaning, and happiness usually refers[citation needed] to the felt experience or experiences that philosophers historically called pleasure.

While direct measurement of happiness presents challenges, tools such as The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire have been developed by researchers. Positive psychology researchers use theoretical models that include describing happiness as consisting of positive emotions and positive activities, or that describe three kinds of happiness: pleasure, engagement, and meaning.

Research has identified a number of attributes that correlate with happiness. These include relationships and social interaction, parenthood, marital status, religious involvement, age, income (but mainly up to the point where survival needs are met), and proximity to other happy people. Happiness economics suggests that measures of public happiness should be used to supplement more traditional economic measures when evaluating the success of public policy.

Researchers have found that about 50% of one's happiness depends on one's genes, based on studying identical twins, whose happiness is 50% correlated even when growing up in different houses. About 10% to 15% is a result of various measurable life circumstances variables, such as socioeconomic status, marital status, health, income, and others. The remaining 40% is a combination of unknown factors and the results of actions that individuals deliberately engage in for the purpose of becoming happier. These actions may vary between persons; extroverts, for example, may benefit from placing themselves in situations involving large amounts of human interaction. Also, exercise has been shown to increase one's level of momentary subjective well-being significantly.

Michael Argyle developed the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire as a broad measure of psychological well-being. This has been criticized as an aggregate of self-esteem, sense of purpose, social interest and kindness, sense of humor and aesthetic appreciation.

Though it may be impossible to achieve any comprehensive measure of happiness objectively, some physiological correlates to happiness can be measured through a variety of techniques. Stefan Klein, in his book The Science of Happiness, links the dynamics of neurobiological systems (i.e., dopaminergic, opiate) to the concepts and findings of positive psychology and social psychology

thank you Mr.Admin or Mr.philosopher for your notes .
I do appreciate your participation so much .
I just wanna explain that my purpose of asking such question is to hear from your own experience and your own definition for the happiness as you find it in your life . and that will for sure push you to use English even in simple words .
