Definition Essay About Happiness
What is a problem without a solution? An unanswerable question? One is open to believe they have found a question so complex that it requires no actual answer. And I believe I have found something similar. I ask myself along with many of my friends and family all the time what happiness is. What it is intended to be or even how it is perceived.

And that matters a great amount. People in America are beyond privileged to have the lives we live, but what some of us fail to understand is that we have people going without food and water and education and shelter all around us yet what are we to do about it? There is a clear line between being selfless and being selfish. And I believe no matter how big or strong or widely known you are, you too need help sometimes. And that’s where I would like to bring up a past instance I have lived
