what's the definition of happiness? i, for one, do not know but i can give you an opiniated defintion. happiness - a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. pretty basic? basic vocabulary. (i need to read more books.) okay, i admit, i stole the definition of wikipedia, but whatever. you know what i mean. (and i, frankly, agree with wiki 95.9%) when you're happy, you're on top of the world. nothing can bring you down. it brings a smile to your face and keeps it there. happiness. the ultimate goal in life. something that i`m sure i can never achieve. maybe someday. but now? impossible...i`m drawing a blank & i hate it.
