What is happiness?

We spend our lives looking for something  that we call happiness and often do not even know what is it. Very few people doesn't  stopped a moment to think about what is   "happiness" .   we lose long parts of our life looking for it,  and all that we do, our goals, our dreams are aiming to make us happy. So what happiness means? to see what people think about. I did an informal poll which interviewed with members of my family, friends, colleagues and strangers. with two questions, that when it comes to listen to them seem simple, but when it comes to answer, we find a complexity that is behind these. What is happiness?,  you're happy at this time?. As expected, when I ask the first question they remained in suspense, incredibly excluding children and preteens that apparently they have very clear, or clearer the concept of happiness. Many adults interviewed  focused their happiness on material things like money, their own home our debts to pay. This gives us a lot of things to think about,  they could be the reflection of a large part of the population, Where the chaotic life that we live, where we need to fight every day to get our resources to survive, It prohibits us the right to  happiness. Our life became limited to work hard to eat,  to pay debts, to survive and we only have space to dream with the day that we will be happy . One the day that never comes. When I asked if they were happy the vast majority answered that they was not, or was  only in sometimes. On the other hand many people after the money indicated that to be happy they need more tranquility, union in their family  and more affection, time with people who love, complete there goals and professionals dreams. Children are much less complicated indicating that happiness was smiling and many preteens see the happiness to be with their friends and or family. Something particularly curious and that give us so much to think about. 

In a Subjective opinion, happiness isn't more than episodes in our lives where we forget many sorrows and worries for a moment we become "happy". For me Happiness is that smile that someone gives us in the morning, or that Cup of coffee, see the person that we love, or a hug from a friend,  see someone special to our lives, receive good news. I would say that the absolute happiness does not exist, the happiness are those wonderful episodes that make up our days and in which we take refuge to be able to continue the difficult path of life. We should stop to think in absolute happiness that never arrived, the reality is that life is made up of many feelings. we need to know what sadness is to recognize happiness . The really key of happiness is  not overlook the reason for any smile, because those moments, often composed of few seconds, in the end that moment result the reason of our lives, for what we live, what  which makes the life special.
