    mistakenly believe that the money leads to the happiness. While it’s definitely true that money can help you achieve your goals, provide for your future, and make life more enjoyable, simply having money doesn’t always guarantee happiness. Through the past several years, research has given us a significantly deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how that correlates with how we feel.

    I don’t think that that happiness is any less real that happiness I gain emotionally through others. They’re a different sort of emotion perhaps, but both candles and family make me feel fuzzy and warm. And certainly happiness is no one thing for anyone. Others might feel satisfied whenever they buy a nice painting. It’s nothing more than some pigment/resin/solvent mix on a canvas, but the happiness comes from the meaning we attach to items. Candles make me happy

    • 5 Pages

    “happy” is a feeling. We all have our different views of happiness and we only know how to make ourselves happy, J.S. Mill’s had an extraordinary view on happiness, more than the Greek and Medieval philosophers, but I believe that no matter what someone tells you, on how to find happiness, it’s going to be on your own, on how to reach it.

It is safe to say that most people are in a perpetual pursuit of happiness, yet, a lot of us do not know where or how to find happiness. It is quite absurd that happiness is talked about as being the final destination of our worldly endeavor. Happiness is there every step of the way. Happiness is not a destination to be reached. Simply put, it is an emotion. One that can
