Happiness

Happiness is the quality or state of being happy, of wellbeing without distress. Exact definitions of happiness vary; for example, some contend that it is possible to think you are happy, but not in fact be happy. Happiness is essential to living a good life, and being fulfilled or complete.

• Sun Myung Moon said, "God gives happiness to those who can give it to others. In spite of their sincerity, religious people so far have wanted to receive it only for themselves, thus not giving it to others." [1]

In the United States, the right of all citizens to "the pursuit of happiness" is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.

In Bhutan, royal government makes a statement of Gross National Happiness, which is important to both our King and our Bhutanese people.
