Sepia Scenes: What is Happiness?

Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to help make others so.
- Robert G. Ingersoll

Happiness isn’t always doing what you want to do; it’s doing what you don’t want to do, and being glad you did it.
- Jessie evens Smith










So very beautiful and loving!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and touching photos.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to stay up and do chores, but I couldn't resist falling asleep along with her. ;-) Happiness is watching them sleep.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Recently I had my own shot at defining happiness, which aims to be more “scientific” and “objective” (as much as this is possible for a subjective feeling such as happiness):
ReplyDelete“A person can be considered to have experienced a “happy” moment if the person chooses to re-live it as an end in itself if offered at no cost.”
For the detailed derivation of this conclusion please have a look at

What do you think about this definition?
Thank you,
Nick
