An​ ​In-Depth​ ​Definition​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Word​ ​“Happiness”
Happiness​ ​is​ ​a​ ​very​ ​interesting​ ​word.​ ​It​ ​has​ ​hundreds​ ​of​ ​different​ ​words​ ​and​ ​meanings,
and​ ​it​ ​means​ ​something​ ​different​ ​to​ ​every​ ​single​ ​person​ ​in​ ​the​ ​universe.​ ​To​ ​me,​ ​however,
happiness​ ​is​ ​something​ ​that​ ​is​ ​both​ ​short-lasting​ ​and​ ​long-term,​ ​although​ ​it​ ​is​ ​absolutely​ ​more
long-term​ ​than​ ​it​ ​is​ ​short-term.​ ​Happiness​ ​is​ ​a​ ​feeling​ ​that​ ​gives​ ​you​ ​hope​ ​and​ ​joy,​ ​hope​ ​and​ ​joy
that​ ​somehow​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​for​ ​a​ ​long​ ​time​ ​despite​ ​any​ ​harsh​ ​circumstances​ ​that​ ​may​ ​come​ ​one’s
way.​ ​Happiness​ ​is​ ​something,​ ​also,​ ​that​ ​is​ ​contagious;​ ​if​ ​one​ ​is​ ​happy,​ ​their​ ​happiness​ ​should​ ​be
able​ ​to​ ​rub​ ​off​ ​onto​ ​someone​ ​else.​ ​Happiness​ ​is​ ​also​ ​something​ ​that​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​given​ ​by​ ​one
thing.​ ​For​ ​example,​ ​a​ ​piece​ ​of​ ​cake​ ​cannot​ ​give​ ​someone​ ​happiness,​ ​but​ ​rather​ ​pleasure.
However,​ ​someone​ ​who​ ​is​ ​truly​ ​happy​ ​will​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​find​ ​their​ ​true​ ​happiness​ ​in​ ​a​ ​multitude​ ​of
things,​ ​but​ ​at​ ​the​ ​base​ ​of​ ​those​ ​things,​ ​I​ ​​truly​​ ​believe,​ ​is​ ​God.​ ​Even​ ​if​ ​other​ ​things​ ​can​ ​make
human​ ​beings​ ​happy,​ ​God​ ​is​ ​at​ ​the​ ​base​ ​of​ ​​true​,​​ ​real​ ​​happiness.​ ​For​ ​example,​ ​at​ ​the​ ​state​ ​of​ ​my
being,​ ​God​ ​is​ ​who​ ​allows​ ​me​ ​to​ ​have​ ​happiness,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​things​ ​He​ ​has​ ​given​ ​me​ ​and​ ​the​ ​things
that​ ​He​ ​shows​ ​me​ ​are​ ​what​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​give​ ​me​ ​happiness​ ​each​ ​and​ ​every​ ​day.​ ​For​ ​the​ ​happiness
that​ ​God​ ​has​ ​given​ ​me​ ​is​ ​something​ ​that​ ​is​ ​within​ ​one​ ​person,​ ​something​ ​that​ ​is​ ​not​ ​easily
waived;​ ​it​ ​is​ ​deep​ ​in​ ​the​ ​soul,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​hard​ ​to​ ​remove,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​the​ ​greatest​ ​source​ ​of​ ​happiness.
I​ ​once​ ​had​ ​a​ ​monumental​ ​experience​ ​that​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​allowed​ ​me​ ​understand​ ​how​ ​God​ ​is​ ​the
greatest​ ​source​ ​of​ ​happiness.​ ​The​ ​experience​ ​was​ ​about​ ​myself,​ ​but​ ​for​ ​the​ ​sake​ ​of​ ​making​ ​a​ ​this

story​ ​a​ ​good​ ​one,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​just​ ​call​ ​myself​ ​by​ ​my​ ​real​ ​name:​ ​Cole.​ ​Cole​ ​had​ ​never​ ​been​ ​to​ ​a​ ​summer
camp​ ​before.​ ​He​ ​had​ ​never​ ​experienced​ ​it,​ ​nor​ ​had​ ​he​ ​ever​ ​truly​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​go​ ​to​ ​one.​ ​As​ ​Cole’s
parents​ ​were​ ​pushing​ ​him​ ​just​ ​a​ ​week​ ​before​ ​the​ ​camp​ ​to​ ​attend​ ​it,​ ​he​ ​was​ ​rather​ ​nervous.​ ​He​ ​had
no​ ​clue​ ​what​ ​to​ ​expect​ ​or​ ​what​ ​really​ ​even​ ​went​ ​on​ ​at​ ​the​ ​summer​ ​camp.​ ​But​ ​one​ ​thing​ ​did
intrigue​ ​him​ ​about​ ​the​ ​summer​ ​camp:​ ​the​ ​environment.​ ​You​ ​see,​ ​Cole​ ​didn’t​ ​know​ ​this​ ​perfectly
well​ ​at​ ​the​ ​time,​ ​but​ ​what​ ​intrigues​ ​Cole​ ​t...
