If only Happiness came as big as this...




Heh... My favourite equation:



Chocolate
=Bliss
=Happiness
=Sore Throat?






Haha, 2.5 kg of chocolate...whole lotta bliss, whole lotta happiness, one really agonising sore throat...

Who can really define Happiness? Is it that short-lived feeling when you enjoy yourself? Or is it the eternal joy you receive after death, regardless of your religion? Or as wikipedia put it : "Happiness is a state of mind or feeling such as contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. A variety of philosophical, religious, psychological and biological approaches have been taken to defining happiness and identifying its sources." Even internet encyclopaedia giants Wikipedia don't know where to nail the bullseye when it comes to happiness.

Maybe to you, happiness is what you receive from helping others, as the old Chinese saying goes?

I just pieced together some thoughts while on the bus home today. I saw this man giving up his seat to an elderly woman. It's quite funny how a gesture like that might seem so common but in reality barely anybody sums up the courage to do it. And of course, this form of courtesy brought about smiles, and naturally a smile from my face too.

It's funny how you find that you don't find happiness, happiness finds you.
