Happiness only comes in very small doses. The chocolate chip cookie after dinner, the good meal, the fun night with friends/loved ones.

Searching for happiness or trying to engineer it is basically impossible and will often lead to the opposite. Happiness is just "happened upon".

Contentment on the other hand can be achieved. Primarily it has to do with learning how to curb your desires and regularly reminding yourself to be appreciative of where you are in life at any given moment.

One good thing about getting older is that Contentment seems to be easier to achieve. When I look back at my 20s I largely see it as a fairly negative time period....don't get me wrong I had lots of fun and made lots of great friends....but overall I wasn't content and felt fairly desperate all the time.

Happiness is overall well being of a person mentally, phydically and spiritually.

Yes,happiness is achievable in world of suffering.

Happiness is something internal many times we look for it outside of ourselves without knowing it ignorant of what they give happiness is something that is built daily it is something that is within us being happy is a continuous job being able to know where you stand knowing what your circumstances are. I remember an anecdote of a writer who said that he cried because he had no shoes but then he saw someone who had no feet and he thanked life and was happy for that situation being able to be alive and face each of the struggles that life can give you is something that life gives you so that you can build the happiness that you desire.

Happiness is whatever makes me happy. Seeing the value of Bitcoin skyrocketing, after years of holding is one thing that makes me happy. World of suffering? What are you talking about? Sure sometimes when I go outside I see homeless people who appear to be suffering. I know it may sound cold, but my happiness is not affected by anyone else's suffering. I used to suffer, quite a lot actually. Then I quit being a little bitch and pulled myself up by the bootstraps. Life is what you make it, 100% If you see all as suffering you are correct. If you see the potential to be happy despite suffering, you are also correct.
