Defining happines can seem as alusive as acheiving it. Everyone wants to live a happy life but no one really knows how. Does having a family constitute in happiness or does money? The definition of happiness has eveolved throughout the years. Up until the last thirty years happiness was considered to be more about having a family and a good marriage or relationship whereas now its more materialistic as people consider themselves happy when they have more money and a higher social status.
Back in the sixties and seventies, happiness evolved around the idea of having a good marriage and family. There is a great difference in what marriage used to be like and to what it is now. Back in the day the wife usually stayed home and tended to the housework and children. The husband typically went to work each day and earned for a living. Although things might be hard to deal with at the moment, people need to realize that they will be able to learn from their experiences and that they will learn to take the good from them all.
In the end, the hard times will help people strive for happiness. Happiness isn't free. You have to earn it and work to keep it. The price for happiness is having to suffer and having to question events that occur during one's life. People need to be able to adapt to their surroundings so that they can get the best out of them.
You can't live your life in fear of what can go wrong. You just need to go out and live your life to the fullest and know that you'll be happy, even if something doesn't go the way that you had planned it to.
The best kind of happiness is when you know that you are able to care for someone and that they may care about you. They may just be your friends but you care about them enough that you want what is best for them and in return they want the same for you.
