Hi Patricia,
You know...I have to agree happiness is an elusive thought! Everybody's definition of what happiness is, is entirely different. I think that it is a very ambigious word. Just like how do you define good and evil? What makes you happy, may not make another person happy.
Cleaning my house, staying home doing homework, and paying the bills this past weekend made me very happy. Some of the simplist things in life. I have a roof over my head, a job to pay the bills, food in the cupboards, a place to lie my head at night. That is what ultimately makes me happy. I don't live beyond my means...and just barely get by...but what makes me happy is that I can...and that I am striving to accomplish more in my career. Those are my goals and that makes me happy.
One other point that I like that you made..."Happiness, not only belongs in the field of psychology, but it is needed, desperately..." I second that! Way to go!
