As mentioned before, this is not true!. For any experience to have significance, it is necessary for a contrasting experience to exist!. For the word/concept 'dark' to make sense, there needs to be 'light' and vice-versa!.

That's a very logical way of looking at it!.!.

Another means of looking at it, would be that human behaviour and emotion has a base-line of sorts - the very concept of happiness entails one being a few notches 'above' the baseline and sadness, a few notches below - therefore, being happy all the time wouldn't be technically possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Logically as they said !.!. It would need a contrast to know the feeling !.!.

But if speaking about happiness as ( not being pissed at anytime and having peace ) !.!.!.
Then it can't be also !.!. According to the laws of Karma, You have something that makes you very happy, either you get something very bad to be in the neutral state !.!. or you get a series of unlucky events that neutralizes your mood again!.!.
And for those who don't believe in karma, there's chaos theory which grants that an individual will never be in full control of his life since he's living among others!.!.

You can find happiness if you continuously got yourself not too excited as in " No expectations , No disappointments !."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe the answer is no because of this fact-
Everybody's happy and sad brain chemicals i!.e serotonin and dopamine are constantly alternating, the only thing that could make somebody permanently happy would be a unnaturally occurring constant stream of both brain chemicals simultaneously!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not in the sense that we think of happiness!. It come from realize the source of happiness is from with in rather than from without!. People fruitlessly seek happiness in material accumulation and fail to recognize that it is transitory and temporary!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. You can fool the people around you into thinking you are happy all the time!. You can even fool yourself into thinking you are happy all the time, but no one is happy all the time!. Even God laments (over sin and suchlike)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If they're on prozac!. But seriously no!. If you never expierienced any emotion besides happiness, you wouldn't be human!. Plus you wouldnt realise your happy ulsess you've felt another emotion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Have you ever read the bible!? If not, it says in it that you must experience sadness to experience happiness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Happiness is a state of mind!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
