1. What is happiness and what does it mean to be happy?
Happiness is a state of well-being and contentment. It is not determined by material possessions or external factors, but rather by a person’s own outlook and mindset.
To be happy, one must be positive and have a good attitude. They must be grateful for what they have, rather than always longing for what they don’t have. Happiness comes from within; it is not something that can be bought or given.
It is a state of mind that must be actively cultivated. There are many things in life that can make a person happy, but it is up to each individual to find their own happiness.
