happiness

Definition of happiness: emotions experienced when in a state of well-being

Look at that little face... How is it that children (and adults) in third world countries are so happy with the way their life is? I was recently in India for 2 months and really noticed how happy the people there are. The children would be happy if they had a little top with a string on it, it would keep them entertained for hours. In the Western world most kids would be bored after 1.3 minutes and looking for a computer or video game to play.

In America we have such a different way of life and seem to have so much more (materially) then them and yet we never seem to be really happy. On top of it all, we (at least I am) are Christians and have God living inside of us, that should make us be happier than anyone!

I wonder... If we did not know of different things out there, that we could have, would we be more greatful and happy for the things we do have?

Where do you find your happiness?
