What makes us truely happy??

Happiness is a prolonged or lasting emotional or affective state that feels good or pleasing. Overlapping states or experiences associated with happiness include wellbeing, joy, sexual pleasure, delight, health, safety and love, while contrasting ones include suffering, sadness, grief, and pain.

Societies, religions, and individuals have various views on the nature of happiness and how to pursue it.


Pleasure generally means an experience of enjoyment that may be related to a physical, sensual, emotional or mental experience.

Pleasure and happiness is two very separate entities. Happiness varies in different cultures. It seems the people in Britain are one of the most unhappiest people in the world and work the longest hours in the world thinking job satisfaction can lead them to that happiness. More and more people are becoming unhappy due to relationship problems and then trying to find moments of pleasure going shopping, doing other things they like but still not finding that happiness.

What makes a happy nation?? It seems countries with democracy and smaller gap between the rich and poor are happy nations. Bhutan is the happiest nation in the world, where the government have encouraged people in to spiritual well being instead of going out to make money, they've discouraged lots of advertisement in the country as it creates that "want" in people and hence disatisfaction.

So, what really makes us ultimately happy as supposed to momentary pleasure??
