Happiness Is A Verb
Happiness is the ultimate risk - so said the main character in the book I am reading.
Happiness is the one thing that I believe everyone is working towards. The rich, the poor, the beautiful, the ugly...
To many, Happiness comes in the form of a knight in shining armour. To others, it's having lots of money. But everyone wishes that Happiness will befall upon them. The knight will come riding on a white horse changing their fate overnight or a winning lottery ticket.
I have those dreams too. The knights merely brought tears, sorrow and pain. Lottery tickets are forgotten dreams or a plain watse of money.
Now I realise Happiness is a Verb. We are what we do. Not what we wish ourselves to be. Not what we say we are.

I agree with you.
We’re what we do. Our life is what we want it to be. At least, for the most part of it. We must act on our life, and “fight” for happiness.
However, happiness is also made of those short moments in life like when you get a smile from someone you don’t know, like anything that would surprise you in a good way.
For me, happiness also means being able to appreciate that.
I’d like to share this quotation with you. It’s from Alexandre Dumas in “the count of Monte-Cristo”.
“There's neither happiness nor misfortune in this world, there only is a comparison from a state to the other one. That one only who felt the extreme misfortune is capable of feeling the extreme felicity. It's necessary to have wanted to die to know how much it is good to live”
