[quote=SETH,273941]If you analyze the concept of "happiness" a bit, certain things become pretty self-evident. Happiness is really quite subjective. For example, that which makes a moral and ethical person happy would be far different than that which would make a serial killer happy! So I have my own formula for happiness that works for almost anyone, despite philosophical and moral and ethical differences.

My formula is HAPPINESS = K + 2F + 5M, where
K is knowledge of that which makes you happy.
F is the freedom to pursue and do that which makes you happy.
M is the means to achieve that which makes you happy.

Too often, if a person knows what would make them happy, they either lack the freedom to pursue their happiness or the means (for example, money) to achieve happiness. In fact, I've found that in many people, one, two, or all three elements are missing or unavailable, and that makes for truly unhappy people.

It's actually very sad, when you think about it, that with so many unhappy people around, it might explain why people are becoming more rude and nasty as time goes by.[/quote]
