happiness is ...................?&*@#$

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy.[1] A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.Is how wikipedia defines happiness...but it is really difficult to measure happiness or even say that we are/were happy...for it is so impermanent...

All of us has experienced happiness,grief,anger and all other feelings and expressions that a man can possibly experience...but is there a way to over come these feelings?
1)Being spiritual
By being spiritual,,,what ever religion you follow. For it is one tool that we hold onto whenever we are in trouble or are in joy...so be spiritual..it need not be praying half a day pleasing your god...

Control your emotions.
Trying to control your emotions whether in times of sadness or happiness will certainly help you...It is very important to have control over your mind...but in reality it is very difficult unless you are ..what ever...it is really difficult to control your mind ...for a common guy like me(and many others(many many others) it is difficult to locate where our mind really is - is in in our heart,head,feet,or is it in some other body parts..

i'll continue it next time...if you can tell me what happiness is plz let me know...

Albert Camus said
"You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." This truly applies to me...i cannot describe what happiness or being happy is really about....
