In a conversation yesterday, a rather good question arrose, which actually got me to thinking.....

What defines true happiness?

Aside from the superficial materialistic possessions that we think we need to obtain happiness, which once obtained, we still find ourselves unsatisfied thus inquiring a deeper sense of happiness.

Just as each of us have as different an opinion regarding one thing, so are our ideals of what happiness is for us.
It makes me wonder, though....because each of us does have a different idea of what happiness may be, are all those differences actually the very same happiness, (which may define the true purpose for seeking it in the first place)?

Does that even make sense?.....lol
Sometimes, I think I try to look so far into something that I overlook what's right in front of me....lol....
And then again, sometimes not.
