Ok. Agreed. You have called a spade a spade. If oneid determined to be happy he or she could remain happy for ever. Well said.

2, Happiness is state of mind and independent of wealth possessions materials and titles as well. Comfortable living too fail to induce happiness for ever. Marlyn Monroe!?
3. Absolute happiness can only be a dream as long as one continue to have desires. At best one can say he or she is satisfied about something.
But by our conduct if others are seemingly happy then let us remain so but for how long.
4. Playing with child or baby, the other could be happy indeed.
5. By giving alms both receiver and giver might be happy at that moment. Some gangster is happy with killing of his rival. But not for ever.
6. So momentary happiness is possible but again that relates to mind. Thinking of future happiness one toils through the present and can never achieve the goal of happiness ever. One could remain unhappy throughout toiling for future happiness.
7. Reciprocate happiness. Keep it in circulation like the air we breathe. If it is arrested and kept it turns stale. If something gives happiness it won’t be everlasting though it may remain evergreen in memory.
8. Recollection or recapitulation of previous happy moments might keep one happy for the present like turning the pages of your black and white and now colour photo albums.
So be happy don’t worry - that famous popular album.
Thanks.

Regards.
God hands none neither happiness nor sadness it is individual’s state of mind.

Dear Vijiakka,

Our natural tendency is to be happy always and that is what we always strive for. It is our reactions to some outward experiences over which we have no control causes disturbances in our mind resulting in not being happy. If we know how to manage our reactions to things we don't control, we can always be in a blissful state. We need to align our mind to our true Self and that is the biggest challenge.

It is true that happiness lies within. But we are always looking for it outside. There is phrase or term used 'In Pursuit of Happiness' and that indicates that we are pursuing happiness. We pursue something which is not with or besides us. We do not pursue our shadow because it is always with us.
I guess humans lack in appreciating what they have. Appreciating appreciates. If we start appreciating what we have it automatically appreciates in value. If we appreciates our friendship, its value appreciates.
