what makes a person happy?
I think
Working on middohs..
What do you think?
I think family makes a person happy and doing the right things willingly
Being happy with what you have.
*satisfied
when they do a chesed.$
thoughtfulness
When accomplishing things- that is the best feeling!! :o)
like beacon said, when they are satisfied and content with what they have, and not wishing for something different
???? ?????
I think these are some of the things that make a person happy
1)resolution of doubt
2)realizing how much Hashem loves you
3)a sense of satisfaction with everything you are and have
4)the feeling of gratefulness at all the good Hashem gives you
5)the realization that no one or nothing has the ability to control your sense of happiness, being happy is a decision no matter what the circimstances. (Hashem gave us the ability to make that decision)
6)conquering a negative midah successfully
7)Being a giver
8)feeling the true happiness of others
what kiruvwife said
but i would say the say thing more compactly:
EMUNAH
well said Feivel thank you. (I just try sometimes put the 9 kavim of speech to good use)
🙂 kiruvwife
one more-(for men)-discovering chidushei Torah
ames-that one is loaded. You gotta be careful who you say that to. It can be taken wrongly, in a very harmful way.

anonymisss, did you mean that i was gonna come and say that i’m very happy and i have zero self control??
not sure if that’s what you meant 😉
moish, funny that you say that cuz I meant the exact opposite. Like the people who believe themselves to have extreme measures of self control when it comes to eating (or not eating) and tolerating pain-vehamayvin yavin.
Get it now? ames? moish?
~a~
yeah got it now. sorry – i don’t think along those lines – i’m a guy
ames, i guess that means you’re healthy
the pain one is actually pretty common with guys…. Don’t try it please, moish. Ok?
DISCLAIMER:I do not recommend it.

i wouldn’t know i’m not that psychotic. not one of my greater aspirations in life.
Happiness is knowing where you came from and knowing where you’re going. Even if you’re not smiling and laughing all the time, if you feel that life has purpose and everything you do is in sync with that purpose, then you are really happy.
good job, ames!:)
and moish, I never thought you were psychotic. It actually comes from feeling a need to be in control. It gives the person a very strong feeling of overcoming something “big”. I don’t want give anyone here any good ideas so we’ll stop right here.
btw, once we’re discussing this, anyone ever watched/read The da Vinci Code?
~a~
Contentment ultimately leads to happiness.
