What is the definition of happiness? Is it material wealth filled with fancy cars, a dream house, extravagant furs and jewelry? Or is happiness simply having a roof over your head? Food in the fridge? Having a child? A pet? A swimming pool? A designer Gucci bag? Parents? Grandchildren? Love? Money? The perfect job? Winning the Lottery? According to the American Heritage Dictionary, happiness is derived from the Middle English word hap — meaning Luck. But does happiness really have anything to do with luck? Based on this description, one could assume that if you avoided a fatal traffic accident but got fired by coming late to work, you would be filled with happiness? Is it luck or what you make of it? Maybe, happiness is exactly defined by its indirect alias, happiness. Perhaps, happiness is in fact defined by the fortune that we permit to happen.
