  • Does happiness be a personal factor?

Yes! It describes the satisfactory outcomes of a person. Even though happiness can be a pleasure to another one, it does not describe this is an emotion that can share with everyone. Still, there might have worrying people within a gang of happy friends. 

  • Can someone sacrifice on behalf of others’ happiness?

Again, since this is a personal factor, even though someone sacrifices their pleasure for others’ happiness, the acceptance may depend. Thus, they can either be happy, worry or stay neutral. 

  • Does happiness be someones’ quality?

No! As the definition state, this is a status. So, it can change. And, you cannot differentiate people who are happy and sad. 

  • Does happiness be the same as joy, comedy or emotional?

It can not exactly describe an enjoyment or laughing for a comedy-drama. So, happiness should be followed by positivity and satisfaction. Another thing is, being emotional also not the real meaning of happiness as people can be emotional with bad experiences too.

Being happy will allow you to be a successful individual. Since this status may offer you a satisfied lifestyle, you will gradually get into positive thinking. So, in the end, you may be able to win the goals though realistic dreams. 

It may also keep you as healthy as possible. You may have heard the happy people have a strengthful immune system. Thus, they can successfully fight against microbe attacks. 

The good social background is a godsend for happy people. If you treat others well, they will also love you. So, happiness may bring you lots of friends, supportive neighbours and friendly staff. 

If you could help others, they will also be happy. Thus, happy people have the potential to make others’ happy. And, often, they are ready to sacrifice their life-goals for others’ happiness. But, since it is a pleasure for them, it does not be a bad experience ever.
