able to be happy. Happiness can be found in an numerous amount of ways. It can be found by
buying inanimate items that help us better our life or it can be found with communicating with
someone. To truly reach full happiness you need to recognize that everything in your life if
good and accept that you can be happy with individuals that help shape your life.
Many people feel as if they are unable to live without many of their precious belongings
but, some would be happy to give them up or throw them away. It is extremely difficult to look
face to face to someone and find an acceptable answer to the question “ Can happiness be

do not have many possessions / items yet they seem very happy and enjoy their lives. Cats have
a reliable friend and are constantly loved by someone or another cat. They have everything to
be happy so why shouldn't they be? This can relate to humans because not many people have
the same items or electronics as others yet they are happy with the simplest of things. As an
example; homeless people receiving a meal on thanksgiving while others just think its another
holiday, another family meal.

hanging out. Think about this: You bought a movie and watch it three times. First time your “
ROLF” rolling on the floor dieing of laughter, second time it funny and by the third time you
