It's the very personal way of being happy not effected by anyone else. But, in my opinion, there are also other varieties of this feeling. I'd call it also happiness if you have an overwhelming emotion caused by a certain situation, e.g. being cuddled by someone you love or being proud of an achievement. That is, of course, more intensive and probably briefer, but it is an aspect of the same topic as your definition. To differ them, I'd call your one the happiness of complete satisfaction (maybe even "Lebensbejahung") and mine the happiness caused by an event. So, what do you think about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867378500824602588.post-54450587173995280022008-04-16T15:23:00.000+00:002008-04-16T15:23:00.000+00:00you're right...very good "definition"...and true.....you're right...very good "definition"...and true...Lieschenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128452272344186524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867378500824602588.post-18144712506990387842008-04-16T04:41:00.000+00:002008-04-16T04:41:00.000+00:00how true.how true.jgsobezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610236779573410418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867378500824602588.post-1445744028375249122008-04-15T23:05:00.000+00:002008-04-15T23:05:00.000+00:00this is so true.this is so true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
