Most people agree that money cannot be happiness. Why is happiness difficult to define? How can people achieve happiness?

Happiness

cannot be measured in terms of wealth. I strongly agree with

this

statement and feel that there are many factors that can make a

person

happy other than money. In the subsequent paragraphs, I will explore about my views regarding

happiness

.

To begin

with,

happiness

is an emotion and

thus

, is not quantifiable. The situations to be happy for differs from

person

to

person

as

happiness

is relative.

Therefore

, it becomes difficult to define

happiness

.

For example

, a rich individual won’t be concerned about a small amount of money, whereas a poor individual will be happy with that particular amount of money. Generally, people tend to feel joyful, is when they are satisfied, fulfilled or have achieved something.

For instance

, a student scoring grade ‘A’ in an exam would definitely feel delighted about his achievement.

Moreover

,

happiness

can be found in simpler things, as small as a walk with friends which can make some people cheerful, but sometimes even big achievements doesn’t make people happy,

for example

, an individual will not be happy even after receiving a promotion as he doesn’t enjoy the work he is doing. My experience of achieving

happiness

is setting a short attainable goal on a weekly basis and work toward achieving it.

Further

, one can

also

make long term goals along with the short one and work hard to achieve it. Accomplishing

such

goals can make me happy.

Similarly

, different factors can make people feel happy, since it is a subjective feeling. To conclude, as

happiness

is relative it is very difficult to predict, what and how things will make a

person

happy.

However

, specific aspect which can make them cheerful are the things and the situations they desire at that moment of time.
