What is Happiness?

On Monday, we were asked what happiness is.

Many had many opinions.

I personally thought really hard but didn't say out loud that my view of happiness isn't what you have, but what you can acquire. Acquisition is the ultimate happiness in a capitalist goal-oriented society.

You set goals for yourself, and you feel happy about achieving those goals.

That is why people love challenges. The feeling you get upon successful completion of a jigsaw puzzle is the same feeling you get from achieving your goals.

Just my two cents, of course.
