According to a new study, a great deal of our happiness is hided in the genes. We are born with the capacity.
What makes me happy is sharing a meal indoor or outdoor, looking at a wonderful view, a tree, a plant, enjoying the nature (I thought that these were learned because my father brought me out in the nature from I was a very little child. So have I done with mine, and even my grandchildren love nature).
Oh jeah, going to a concert, to the cinema or theatre can make me happy as well, but I think that it is the meal afterward that crowns the experience. So nature and being with a small group of people is my main focus for joy. Learned or inherited?
Oh, I forgot learning. I love to read, reflect and learn academic stuff and reading easy litterature for relaxing as well.
