First I would like to give you my definition of happiness, which is to show feelings of cheerfulness and pleasure. In my opinion being happy is a good thing. If everyone was unhappy the world would not be a very fun place, because everyone would be in a bad mood or grumpy. I also think that being happy can be good for you, because when you are not happy people do not want to be around you.

But the real question is how one can attain happiness. Is it something that can be given to you, something you can buy, or is it something that everybody has inside them? As the old saying goes `money can buy happiness', is this really true? Well, to some it is, and to some extent...
