The quest for happiness

Article Abstract:

Each human being in the world aims at being happy and takes various and contrary ways in pursuit of that end, down as many paths as there are palates. Many people describe happiness as a good feeling or positive mood, but the concept of happiness is such an indeterminate one that even though everyone wishes to attain happiness, yet one can never say definitely and consistently what it is that one really wishes and wills.

Finding happiness: is it just avoiding pain?

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to identify the factors which affect happiness. Results reveal that happiness does not depend on age, sex and income or wealth. It is derived that a person's characteristics in relation to his family and friends determine his happiness and satisfaction in life.
