Happiness is a state of mind or feeling such as contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.[1] A variety of philosophical, religious, psychological and biological approaches have been taken to defining happiness and identifying its sources.
"Never confuse the happy with the depthless, for it takes great insight to set aside heavy burdens. Never confuse the happy with the rational, for reality in itself brings only tears. Truly, wisedom and frivolity are both necessary in achieving happiness." -Veronica S. Wickline
"Happiness? Oh no, happiness is not simply a feeling but a way of life, an odyssey, a completely renovating concept that, once grabbed hold of, brings inextinguishable peace."-Veronica S. Wickline
Philosophers and religious thinkers have often defined happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this older sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics. In everyday speech today, however, terms such as well-being or quality of life are usually used to signify the classical meaning, and happiness is reserved[citation needed] for the felt experience or experiences that philosophers historically called pleasure.
