Happiness

HAPPINESS; one of the most charismatic, sough-after, and enigmatic of all sentiments. The elusive and shy emotion is one of personal perspective, an abridgement of life's encounters that needs to be cultivated and cultured by the recipient. Happiness canoot be bought, bartered or sold and is rarely, if ever, reliant on others. It does not lay idle around the bend waiting for discovery, nor does it perch on the back side of an intangible rain-bow, never able to be discovered. In the simplest explanations, Happiness is a diagnostic of circumstances, forged and tempered with careful effor by the proprietor. This specific feature separates Happiness from the more euphoric feelings of Joy, Pleasure, Contentment, or Comfort. These are short-lived emotions/feelings with strictly enforced expiration dates and are less harmonious with Life's unforseen events than Happiness. They also requires, if not mandate, influence from collateral and outside sources. This in turn allows these feelings to expire more easily than Happiness. A common definition of Happiness cannot be affixed to the word, as the perception shifts from person to person and no universal comparison exists. However, one prospecting for Happiness need look no further than the neares mirror and apply self-perspective. If this sounds tangible and easy, it's not. Too often Happiness is not recognized until lost and trauma inflicts the realization, "I was happy". In an age of instant rage and copious amounts of vile opinions (via the internet) it is easy to lose focus, we become indifferent to ourselves and oblivious to Happiness, and even Hope.

Crimion through its courses, selfless-aides, and charitable guidance provide the cognitive awareness necessary in recognizing Happiness and reclaiming Hope. Truth be known, the English language does not contain enough superlatives, nor does my pen contain enough grace to properly compliment Criminon and staff. They show you how to make Happiness a verb, rather than a noun. For this author, composing this caveat gave me Happiness, I do hope it serves the reader well.
