Happiness

The meaning of the word happiness has so many uses and is so ambiguous as the meaning of the word "love." For centuries people have tried to understand what it takes to be happy, how to find happiness and do not lose it. The answers to these questions are not simple. Ask different people what a person needs to be happy and everyone will respond differently.

Why do people define happiness in different ways? To understand why this is so, it is enough to think about what kind of people live among us. For example, neighbour: a lonely grandmother; a mother of many who work hard; dad saving up for a long time in order to buy a foreign car; young girl dreaming from childhood about dancing and becoming a famous dancer; her brother nervous because of the regular session. All of them are ordinary people who live among us, but they have different dreams. Grandma certainly wants to be with her family; the mother wishes her children grow obedient, healthy, and good people; the father - finally to buy a long-awaited car; the girl - to become a talented dancer, and her brother - to pass successfully his session as soon as possible. The dream makes people happy.

 One once has noticed that when wants something for a long time, and suddenly the dream is becoming reality, they feel like the happiest in the world! It was this moment that we can assume happiness. Thus, happiness can be defined as the realization of dreams and desires that everyone has their own. So when we think about how often and how much people dream or want something and we will understand why one cannot give full definition to happiness.

To be happy people often need not just one, but several different things. Despite the fact that happiness is very subjective, let's try to define what is needed for happiness to most people.

Love, friendship, family. A person should not be one. to be happy Many people need a loved one such as own mother, beloved husband, loyal friend. Having close friends and loved ones, a person becomes truly happy, a loneliness gives joy to none. Think about how little it takes to be happy! Embrace of a loved one, mother's support in difficult times, a friend who knows how to cheer in sadness. Sometimes a good gesture and friendly conversation are enough to feel happy, to understand that you are not alone, that there are a number of those who are dear to you and who loves you.

Financial well-being. People have to worry about making money, because money provide comfort, stability, possibility use of different goods in our world. How much money do a person need to be happy? The answer is, again, subjective. The homeless will have enough money for which he can rent a house and buy a meal. The woman who are used to the constant luxury will need much more in order to buy exclusive and beautiful goods.

It often happens that a person wants to earn more, he is promoted, salary increases, he becomes happy for a moment, and then he dreams about bigger amounts of money. And then more and more... For these people, the answer to the question of how much they need to be happy, will never be accurate, because they will always want more money.

The pursuit of ever greater material well-being - is not the way to true happiness. One can pack their house with the latest technology from top to bottom, to fill closet with the most fashionable clothes, to stuff  with the most expensive makeup... One can spend a whole life with temporary pleasure of the new purchase, and at the end of their life to remain lonely and miserable. Because, this person was too busy making money, they did not have time to communicate with family and friends, he had no time to create a family, and expensive things not give warmth and friendly support in the end.

Undoubtedly, the material well-being is an integral part of the happiness of the modern man, but it is important not to become a blind slave of fortune, because the temptation to make money and then constantly spend them, subjected many people.

Health One does not need a lot for happiness - they begin to understand it when get ill. Health is such that you do not appreciate it and do not notice when it is all right. But as soon illness overcomes, a person realizes that they cannot be fully happy when are sick. Old people and patients with severe, incurable diseases know the value of health and can tell about it. As long as the person is healthy, he is full of vitality and can do a lot more to try to live a long interesting life. Taking care of their health, people will someday realize how important is a role of health in their life.

 Self-development Life - is a constant movement, search, development. We are also subjected to these laws of life: we grow physically, getting smarter, grow spiritually, understand the world. It is important to be interested in life, in the knowledge of the world, self-knowledge. New hobbies, unusual travel, meeting of new people, development of new skills and obtaining of knowledge, spiritual development are very important for a person. They make life of person more interesting, give new experiences and ideas, which lead to desire to live an feel happy. Can there be a happy person who is not interested in and is not keen on about anything and just sleeps, eats and drinks? This is not life, but existence, which does not exactly bring happiness.

The male and female happiness. Happiness is also different on gender, but the subject is so vast that it is difficult to see in a single article.

What a woman needs to be happy: to love and be loved, to be surrounded by family and friends, to feel attractive and interesting, to have children and pets, to develop her talents and gain self-realization in life, to have good fitting job and interesting hobby.

What does a man need to be happy? Man lives in constant competition, so in order to be happy he needs success at work, in personal life, in friendship: good work and high income, loving and understanding woman, loyal friends and happy children.

Of course, the answers to these questions are primitive and are sufficiently general, but again - happiness for each one is different, so to determine once and for all what is needed to be happy for all women or all men, would be wrong.
