Happiness

I used to think when I was little that happiness was found in a box filled with candies, when I get to open presents or when I get to buy new toys. However, as we grow up, the definition of happiness changes. As I've noticed it's so vague that the meaning becomes relative. But I've come to realize, that happiness still comes in tiny boxes that are like the presents I used to open when I was little. Happiness can be from burping after having a great dinner with friends. Happiness can be from being able to treat yourself to a wonderful meal or buying something new for yourself. Happiness can be from being able to help somebody by answering a simple question. It would all just vary on how we identify it, but happiness is everywhere, we just have to keep our eyes open and our senses available to feel it. Enjoy life everyday!

I agree that we can choose to be happy if we want to. But if something so awful happens in our life, I think that it no longer becomes a choice. However, again how we define "happy" differs, so I guess that changes how we choose.
