What is happiness? The definition of happiness according to Wikipedia is:
"a state of mind or feeling such as contentment, satisfaction or joy."

The Oxford dictionary definition is "feeling or showing contentment."

Your definition of happiness is a personal thing and will depend on your level of awareness.

For one person, happiness is a Hamlet cigar and a pint of beer. For another, it is being lost in a computer game. Another may experience happiness through the peace of deep meditation.

Lets talk about the difference between pleasure, joy and bliss and how they relate to different levels of awareness.

All people fall into one of three groups... those who are spiritually awake, those who are asleep and those who are somewhere in the middle.

Your own personal definition of happiness will depend on which of these groups you belong to.

PLEASURE
For those who are largely asleep, happiness is sought on the outside and is characterized by pleasure. For those who are caught up in the unconscious thinking, food, sex, relationships, work, entertainment etc serve as distractions from an inner feeling of restlessness and a sense of incompleteness. Happiness derived in this way is fleeting and is inevitably followed, as night follows day, by pain in the same measure.

When engaged in pleasurable activity, a temporary sense of relief is experienced and in this way we become slaves to short-term pleasures such as sex, cigarettes, eating or flipping TV channels.

Longer term pleasures such as relationships or businesses which bring us so much joy one day can become a source of suffering in time ... the happy marriage ends in divorce, the successful business goes bankrupt etc

Everything that exists in the world is subject to change and is therefore a shaky foundation on which to base our happiness.

What many consider love in a relationship, for example, is in truth attachment. If I need you for my happiness I cannot really love you.
