The word happiness has a lot more meaning in to it then actually looks. If someone asked me to describe happiness, say to an alien, who never heard of such a thing and had no idea what it felt like. It would be like trying to explain the taste of an apple to someone whose never had it before. Overall it's a difficult task. For me happiness is spending good quality time with my loved ones for instance my family, relatives or my girlfriend. When you are happy, it's hard to hide your emotions. It always reflects on the person. This could be face expressions or the way they behave.
People can be happy for no reason too. Don't ask me why because I don't know either. Most of us gain happiness from money as well however to a certain extent. The time when I am happy is when I've finished all my work, paid all my bills and finished all the things that I was responsible for and this is the time when I can relax, spend some time with my self or with friends and socialize. Everybody has different characters, so the reason that makes people happy differs from one person to the other. An old man would wake up one morning and would be happy to be alive. A ten-year-old child would wake up Saturday morning and would be happy because there is no school until Monday. Whereas I would wake up one morning and would be happy because I've got challenges in front of me to tackle and I would get the most happiness out of it when I accomplish that mission with success.
