love is a form of insanity

It depends on the person.Although they love someone they may not be happy in that relationship.Love doesn't always equal happiness in some cases.It all falls on the person and their feelings.

To describe love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its flavor..so first love some body ..if it gives you joy than it is happiness and if it gives you pain then it is sorrow

No. They are different feelings.

Love can be full of happiness and anger in different moments.

No you can be depressed because of love!!!!!

Love is rarer than relationships. What we usually do for happiness is misguided.

You may demand more and more that promises happiness, but this is misguided.


How then to be happy? Just stop demanding things to be other than they are.

No matter how many clever questions you ask, you'll never get a fully satisfactory set of answers. Some things can be learned only from experience... and some things are simply not worth experiencing.though, where there is a suspicion that you may be on to an idea that's worth pursuing. Overcome your reticence and curb your enthusiasm too. Simply conduct some kind of careful, limited, hands-on trial. Only a practical experiment will reveal a meaningful answer.

Yes. And so's the other way round.

I don't know .... but I know what happiness is ....

"If you aren't happy, why aren't you?

Chances are it is because you want something which you do not have, objects or conditions. This is probably not a good enough reason and a review of your situation and perceptions may be in order.

You may have seen video of children in very poor countries laughing and playing, unconcerned that they should have more to be happy about. They are happy because they are playing, because they have their friends and family, and some food to eat that day. Everyone has the right to be happy, and if they can be in their situation, shouldn't you?

"Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life." - Ben Franklin (1706-1790)

Happiness is inside us, in our minds, in our thinking. It is not external material things or experiences, but the enjoyment of our thoughts and feelings. This is good because our thoughts, and therefore our happiness, are up to us.

Start by reviewing the things that you have to be happy about and dwell on these. Don't overlook the little or basic things that you take for granted.

Make a habit of substituting unhappy thoughts with happy thoughts. Whenever an unfavorable picture enters your mind, eject it and replace it with a pleasant one. We all have some nice experiences to recollect and there are usually little pleasures around us most of the time. You can even imagine enjoyable experiences, and it will have a similar positive effect.

"Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." - Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864)

Establish good principles and conduct yourself according to these principles. Love, or at least be tolerant of, your fellow humans. Don't strive too hard for that which, in the end, will not make you happier.
