What is happiness for you?

When practically the whole world is claiming to strive for 'HAPPINESS'.... It may sound utterly silly to ask "What is happiness?" We seem to be knowing what is happiness. We seem to be clear how to be happy and we seem to be focused on 'Being Happy'
However the fact is, 'There are plenty of people who are still groping to get glimpses of happiness. There are enough number of people who are yet to discover a true state of happiness on an ongoing basis.'
At cerebral level, you may say that happiness is a choice one makes. However, have you made that choice?
Are you sticking to your choice to be happy on an ongoing basis?
Is there a particular advantage in being periodically unhappy?
Is there a reason why you have not yet felt consistently happy in your life?

You may feel that I am harping too much on this simple topic called Happiness. However, when I meet people and when I explore the subconscious mind of various people, the unanimous desire all of them have is HAPPINESS.

I often wonder why would happiness evade periodically, when it is right under your feet? (As one of the members, Ms. Laila Ahmed answered last week.)
