What is Happiness?

[ElveeKaye]

There is a video called "The Harmonica Man," about an old man who gives harmonicas to school children and teaches them to play. He isn't wealthy at all, living by himself in a tiny trailer, and has survived several heart attacks, but he remarked, "I don't think Bill Gates feels any richer than I do at the end of the day." That is happiness--being rich because of what you GIVE, and not because of what you OWN.

POP-CORN AND BE HAPPY!!

My 9-year-old student asked me: What makes you happy teacher? ...I answered "When something seems extremely difficult to do and yet I manage to do it, I feel happy" "I also feel happy when people show me they care about me, they love me" For a moment I thought I would not be able to give her an answer. So difficult to put it into simple words!

[ZFroggirl]

You never see documetaries about reporters visiting tribe people (offcourse where there has been no famine or genoiside) and see just sad miserable faces. They seem to live live their lives with the little they have of material wealth, taking care of each other. They gather around the bonfire telling stories about ansestors and legends of old. They don't rot in front of a biscreen TV eating cheeseburgers...

[Wowbagger86]

I find the thought of extreeme wealth a bit scary to... our sivillisation is prett much based upon the need to become "succsessfull" and "becoming rich".. so when you have that much wealth, it must be getting kind of dull and old after a while? But I guess you also have many oppurtunities to do good both for yourself and others.

"My seasoning is hunger,

my fire in winter is the rays of the sun, my lamp is the moon,

my riding-beast is my feet,

and my food and fruit are what the earth brings forth [without cultivation].

At night I have nothing and in the morning I have nothing,

yet there is no one on earth richer than I."
