From someone who has spent their entire life studying human interaction and spirituality, it is noticed that happiness is attained throughout life, even when physically or mentally ill. It is also observed that when someone is very young, people have to make them sad, nobody has to make them happy. When someone gets older, however, people have to make them happy, they are naturally unhappy. Therefore, happiness can be defined as a feeling of calm or naivety, a feeling that allows someone to step back from the realities of life for a second and go back to childhood, when everything was naturally good.
