Hello dear readers!
What is happiness about? ... This question broke into my mind while reading an article about happiness, the article reviews a story in France that speaks of a mayor in a small French town of 9000 inhabitants who issued a mandatory decree of being happy. The particular decree will enter into force in October, and will also prohibit the dissemination of "depressing or sad music" and "books that end badly."
Freddy Riffaud, the mayor in question considers that "there is too much sadness in France" and therefore tries to spread this "state of mind" based on joy.
Now, can happiness be decreed? Is it possible that letter on paper can alleviate suffering and bring happiness? What effect can a decree of this nature cause on people?
To understand a little about this state of mind, we must try to define what happiness is, taking into account that what makes someone happy does not make others happy, is that the human being is so complex and often it becomes very difficult to achieve your happiness
In today's world, most people are not happy with what they have: The fat person wants to be thin, the skinny person wants to gain weight, if someone is short, would like to be tall or vice versa, mostly nobody is happy with what he has and would like to have what another owns, people are often dissatisfied with the weather, if it is sunny they complain because it is very sunny and hot, if it rains it is the same etc, etc, etc ...
Definition of Happiness
Mood of the person who feels fully satisfied for enjoying what they want or for enjoying something good.
Based on this definition, most people are not satisfied with what they have or what they have achieved, the world is full of people who are easily depressed to the point of reaching suicide, we can also add to this people in countries undeveloped, where there is inflation, unemployment, lack of food or medicine.
However, there is World Happiness Day and the ranking of happiest countries in the world. I honestly do not know if the measurement criteria they use are reliable, in 2012 the year the report was published for the first time Venezuela was ranked 19th worldwide and 1st place in South America, but for that year already the crisis in Venezuela I had begun, today seven years later I occupy the 108th position, that is, we are not so happy anymore.
Particularly, I find happiness in my family's dinner, my wife, my children, having the sustenance, shelter and health I feel full next to my family, although the situation around us is very difficult, in my home You breathe happiness and harmony.
Day to be happy!
On March 20, it was decreed by the United Nations as World Happiness Day, the day in which the report of the countries' happiness index was published. The report classifies countries according to six key variables that seek well-being: income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, social support and generosity.
"The top 10 countries tend to rank high in the six variables, as well as emotional wellbeing measures," says report co-editor John Helliwell, professor emeritus of economics at the University of British Columbia.
According to a study conducted in England between 2002 and 2011 happy people live longer .
THE INVESTIGATORS DETERMINED THAT THOSE WHO ENSURED TO ENJOY THEIR LIVES FULLY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO LIVE BETWEEN 9 AND 10 YEARS OLDER THAN THOSE WHO SAID NOT BE SATISFIED WITH THEIR LIVES.
Conclusion
In this linkyou can see the index of the countries and you will realize in what position This is your country, which indicates your level of happiness according to the United Nations. If we focus on the variables studied by the international organization I would like to know how happy you are, if your country's position in the Ranking corresponds to the level of happiness that you own
There are people who need many things to be happy, for others it is enough with little, once I read a thought of someone who says: "It is not rich who has much, but he who needs little to live" ... Where is the secret of happiness? What is the ideal state to be happy? is something very difficult to know and a question to which many never find an answer.
Share with me your opinion about this topic, even if the question seems daring Are you happy with what you have? Do you feel in any way realized? What does this world lack to be happy?

Friend @fucho80
Great themes with many forms of definition,
But happiness in my opinion will always depend on ourselves without saying that because of other people we are not happy.
So we will always be in search of that filicity full with very simple things and without harming third parties.
Un abrazo amigo.

Hi friend @lanzjoseg
Okay friend, it depends on ourselves to be happy or not, so I say that our happiness should not be conditioned by anything or anyone.
Thanks for being here.

We all look for the same purpose of being happy, and we find it beyond our expectations. I believe the car is my happiness, I get to get it is longed for car; but over time I realize that it is not enough.
I think that happiness comes to your life when you understand that nothing is enough but it makes you feel good just by being yourself and how you respond to each circumstance, in a little while I must learn to be happy! remember that we come to this world with nothing and we leave with nothing

Hello dear @cruz26, welcome!
You are very right in what you say friend, we must be happy with what we have, our happiness can not be conditioned by what we have, try to be happy and enjoy life with what you now have because there are things you want that maybe you'll never have
Thank you for this excellent comment, brother.

Greetings friend @fucho80.
Total and continuous happiness does not exist.
Really what we can have and enjoy are happy "moments". These are totally subjective and will depend on our desires and aspirations.
We will always be in search of these moments, unless we are depressed pessimists without expectations or aspirations in life.
If within someone's personal aspirations it is established to "have a lot" then that person will be happy having a lot. That is why I say that happiness is a purely subjective concept.
Your friend, Juan.

Hi @Juanmolina.
This perhaps explains the saying that life is made up of moments, that is, we learn to enjoy the good times and the bad ones we learn to endure them, even so, I think that full happiness can be achieved, even when we spend unpleasant moments in our " ideal environment "those difficult moments will not ruin our happiness.
Thanks brother!

@fucho80, In my opinion our Happiness stays with us when we are align with our Heart and Intuition. Most of the times people's Intuition says something and they do something which leads to internal battle and State Of Unhappiness.

I think there are as many definitions of happiness as there are people in this world.
I share that you are never completely satisfied, it is something difficult to achieve, although I think it was Seneca who said that if you are not happy with what you have now you will never be with anything you have, I guess it started that happiness does not It should be conditioned by the possession of things but should be born of the person.

Hello my dear teacher @pedrobrito2004, thanks for your intervention.
I think you got it right! or at least I share that idea, our happiness should not depend on the possessions or the success we have, we must learn to be happy despite any circumstance, as he said: my happiness should not be conditioned.
Very wise friend, thanks for your comment, I wish you much happiness despite the country situation.

This caused me some laughter :)
I think it's all about the notion of the world that each individual has. As you say, for some this world can be horrible and for others it can be wonderful.
So happiness is linked to gratitude. That is, the ability you have to be grateful for the things you have. If you are able to observe all the good things around you, you will be happy.
The value of thankfulness is a matter of family upbringing. Therefore, the family plays a fundamental role in making this world happy.
Greetings!

Hi @yonnathang.
Thanks! Very good expression and very relevant, being grateful for what you have allows you to be happy with all the things you have achieved without worrying about what you do not have now, although we should not allow external things to condition our happiness.
Thanks friend!

I enjoy seeing the global happiness levels. On a related topic, running and exercise in general makes one happy. While merely momentary physiology, human civilization tends to limit it daily range of physical motion. And in the digital age, even vehicular transport is decreasing.
