What is Happy? What does it mean to be happy? Being happy can be easy for some and a challenge for others. There can be so many definitions on the word happy. Everyone can have their own meaning of happy. What makes me happy and what makes you happy are different things. My own definitions of happy are being satisfied with something, a feeling of joy, and delighted. In a person’s lifetime, they can be happy because of a lot of different things that go on during their life. Happiness can just simply mean being satisfied with something. Some people can be satisfied with material things. Others can be satisfied with just having their loved ones around with very little material things. According to the free dictionary
by Farlex, to be happy means to be fortunate and lucky. What does that meaning suggest? Is it persuading that only the lucky people can be happy? My response to that definition would be it is very wrong. Even the lucky ones are not happy or satisfied. At the end of the day, each person can be happy from their own satisfactions. Secondly, being happy can be defined as a feeling of joy. How does joy relates to happiness? Joy relates to happiness because joy is a feeling of great pleasure. When a person has joy, they are happy. People have joy when good things happen in their life. Whether it is having success, marriage, or the birth of a newborn baby, all of those events can bring great joy to someone. When someone achieved something great, sometimes they do not always have to be rewarded. It is just the known fact of knowing they accomplished something good. That can bring great joy and happiness to someone’s life. Another way of defining happy is if a person is delighted. Being delighted is to be highly pleased. What can you think of, which you can say, you were very pleased about? Passing a test or getting a good grade can make someone very pleased with themselves. A pleased individual equals a happy person. Some people show emotions by showing they are happy and delighted while others choose to hide their expressions. Different people react different ways but can have the same outlook on something. In conclusion, happy can be defined in so many ways from various perspectives. Perhaps, being healthy is all it takes for someone to be happy while another needs a lot of money to be happy. What does it take for you to be happy? It is very easy to make me happy. I live to put a smile on others and make others happy. That makes me happy and pleased to know that I help someone else. Also, being around my family makes me happy. One thing that everyone might can agree on and that is being happy is good for the soul.
