Each of us has different definitions of the word happiness and we have our owns ways of measuring it. Are you truly glad? Are you satisfied with your life? How would you know...? Happiness is not measured by our laughters & cheers. Having many friends, close family ties, life's achievements and wealth - none of these is an assurance for one's perfect happiness. It is only with God that a person can say he is completely happy & content. The truth is, happiness cannot be measured. It is fathomless.

Happiness can never be measures. But simple smile can make people happy. If you sad, just smile to other. Other will smile back at you.. and that make people happy.

Smile and the world smiles back at you. It means when we are happy, everything around us is positive. We'll gain more friends and attract all good things in life.

yes,smile is the best medicine of trouble...always wear your smile because you can also cease the pain that other people felt if they are sad...continue smiling but not that much specially when your alone,because if somebody see you smiling alone they would think that your fool...

...happpiness is not measurable, its a subjective concept. i think happiness is a mood that relates many thinks and choices that we do. To be happy is not the same thing on anoter person, if am happy with rain, other people can be angry about the rain, depends on the personality and tastes of people. I think people sould be happy about the life they get because we only live 100 years or less, so we have to be glad to be alive and, learn and enjoy most everyday we can. Have a nice day !

We live this life only once. After this, everything will pass and be forgotten. Yes, it's true that our maximum life span is 100 years, we should enjoy life to the fullest & be happy all the time regardless of all trials & pains.

I think there's no measurement for happiness. Once you feel happy you are happy. You can be happiest or lets say the happiest but being happy is the same kind of emotion. Maybe its just the intensity of it that varies. Anyway, I think its the best emotion one can feel, being happy.

Yes, it is the best emotion we can feel. When we are happy, we feel more beautiful and healthy ha ha! For studies show that a sad person is more prone to sickness.

You ajust answered your question already, and the answer is, we cannot measure happiness. I agree to that, but for me happiness in life can be obtained if you are with God just like what you've said. Being contented with what you have no matter how small it is, was another way to become happy i guess.

One thing that keeps a person sad is the dissatisfaction about his/her life. Regardless of what we have or possess, little or much, we should be grateful to the One who gives us most of our needs and be happy despite everything.
