The little bout of happiness

There's nothing more in the world I want than for those I hold dear and near to my heart, to be happy.

The general advice is that happiness is what you make of it. The key is to look for the silver lining, to not let other sources of negativity get into you. The likelihood of the opposing argument is you can't get happiness if you have all sorts of negative distractions that disturbs your center, that when life gives you plenty of lemons, you make lemonade and you end up being unhappy with the result.

I stand for none of that right now, though at different parts of my life, I've stood on both of those grounds.

I think happiness stems from experiences. If you have had mostly negative experiences, it is harder to attain happiness. Likewise, if you have had mostly positive experiences in life, your chances of happiness improves.

In taking into account for the individuals who have had mostly positive experiences, but still is not happy; or mostly negative experiences but still is happy: I pose the following argument.

Ultimately, happiness is learning from those experiences, and altering them in such a way that you can either look past the pain, and find the point where you can emotionally remove yourself to go back to that center. Or, you can remember the positive experiences and go back to it again and again, to feel that emotion, to take you back to the center.
