What's the secret to happiness? Is there a secret?

ED, from your perspective what would you define happiness as? What is happiness to you?

It's not an easy subject i tell yah.... I myself trying to figure it out, to me it's spiritual..... I think happiness shall be fully attained once you rid yourself of all material attachments...
 
whilst we are on the discussion of happiness, and doing what pleases you, i'd like to hear your comments, especially from the males on the piece i just posted up on women having casual sex and owning their bodies 🙂

Exactly ,u cant drink a poison and expect someone else to die, though as humans sometimes we do have feelings, we feel awkward sometimes, holding grudges into our heart, but those feelings should not be permanent into our hearts
 
What if they are all taken away, then your "happiness" is gone?
Can you really call temporal pleasures happiness?

Happiness is the choice no matter how worse ur life seems to be. One day i was at muhimbili my uncle was hospitalized there after a car accident n lost his right hand, he was so depressed n worried about his new life experience of living without his hand, the other patient besides him was also hospitalized after an accident n lost his both hands, but he was very happy n thankful to God that he was alive, because he was the only passenger who survived in the accident, so i came to realize that the problems become bigger or small the way we perceive them.

I would ask then where do you get that energy or call it strength in the midst of such misery, where do you get that indestructible calmness?

It just taught me something meaningful, that no matter what happen to your life happiness is still your choice

I agree but think of this, i was told a story of Man, very rich with a huge estate. He was neither unduly happy nor sad or bored...in such case one would think he is peaceful....he still needed to feel alive, he told a friend to knock him in the head so he can feel something...lol
How can we arrive at complete state of happiness without depending on anything material?

Its complicated honestly, i have nothing to say here.
 
Elizabeth Domic. Surely this is a proper definition of happiness. Otherwise give us yours.
