Happiness to me is..

Can money buy happiness?
      Economists use the term utility to represent a measure of the satisfaction or happiness that individuals get from the consumption of goods and services. Because a higher income allows one to consume more goods and services, we say that utility increases with income. But does greater income and consumption really translate into greater happiness? In this article, I will be showing how greater income and consumption does not really translate into greater happiness.However, consumption effect tells us that more consumption of good and services will increase happiness. At least to a degree, we see that money can buy happiness. But what, if anything, does research on consumer satisfaction tell us about the relationship between happiness and the concepts of utility and marginal utility?
Based on the research, I found that money does not increase the happiness because as income increases the one with behavior of preferences or satisfaction changes and will result in diminishing marginal utility.. is it too much?

         HAPPINESS RESIDES NOT IN POSSESSIONS & NOT IN GOLD,

THE FEELING OF HAPPINESS DWELLS IN THE

SOUL..!!

      Happiness or happy people in the society and culture are viewed as those who are rich, having a family, a great occupation. Our society is so attracted to material things rather than spiritual ones, isn't it? Can a person who does not possess any of these cannot live a happy life? According to me happiness is a state of mind feeling characterized by satisfaction, joy, pleasure, contentment, smiles and laughter.I have never wished to be the richest in the world with the biggest mansion, many cars and loads of money. My idea of happiness is finding contentment is small and simple things to avoid expectation leading to disappointment. I strongly believe in supreme well being and good spirits. Though the definition of happiness difffers from person to person, some are often in search of it and some even try to chase it.

     

      My idea of happiness is very unusual yet simplistic, let me share some with you, My alram went off, woke up, my eyes were struggling to be wide and open, since checking my phone it the first thing i do in the morning, it  informed me it was just 3am, yippeeee, 2 more hours to sleep. End of story one. Alram went off at 5 am, now I was awake and mentally ready for the day to start, checked my mobile phone again, saw few unread messages, one of them happened to be from my CR saying "lectures are cancelled today since the teachers are busy with the college fest" , a moment of euphoria! For me this is happiness, the feeling may last for some moments but they sure gave me immense joy. 

    Imagine finding a 100 rs note in your jeans which u had kept long back and completely forgot about it, or a baby crying and the moment to start cuddling her she smiles and then burst into laughter, returning home after a tiring or a tough day and seeing your favorite meal cooked and served on the dinning table, or some how you were not able to complete your project or assignment that your teacher gave you and its the submission day today, you are horrified by imagining the later consequences but suddenly you hear some one saying that the teacher is not keeping well and so is absent, moments of sheer joy, aren't they? Hence happiness is no mystery if you just try to keep it easy and simplistic.

    Because the concept of happiness is complex and hard to measure, one may believe that happiness is mysterious, elusive and totally out of control. This is not true at all; Happiness is a choice, We can decide whether to be happy or not, or rather introspect and try to find happiness in everything. For example, if you are traveling in a Best bus which is totally packed and luckily you find a place to sit but u see a old man struggling to stand properly in the crowded bus with some luggage and you offer him the seat, he is happy, though you might face some trouble but you made some one happy and respected him will make you happy and you can't deny that. Making someone happy is hence a noble cause, isn't it?

   An emotion is an intense feeling. Happiness is one of the many emotions humans experience. It may perhaps be the most important feeling a person can have and it is the one feeling everyone strives to achieve, yet strangely, for the most part, people seem to only get a glimpse of it, Pleasurable satisfaction. Giving is always better than receiving, so give smiles and find smiles in giving and also to find happiness you have to be patient and to have faith, that's the recipe of happiness to me, and this is what happiness means to me :)
