What is Happiness?

One need not rush to the dictionary to find out the meaning of the word Happiness because there is a diversity in the experience of Happiness. For example “A new born is happy for no reason , a child is happy when he is given a new video game, a young couple who are in love are happy when they meet each other, the mother is happy to play with her new born, the materialistic person is happy when he is drowned in wealth. The reasons for being happy are infinite but there is one reason which is a perennial source for happiness. That wonderful reason is “Contentment”. The Contented man lives in a state of Equanimity unmindful and not affected by the External Events.
