What is happiness?

Happiness is a hard state to define. 

While it could be a combination of health, relationships, activity we love or place of residence, it is overshadow by a gray, fuzzy factor called luck. 

Like luck to be endowed with a formidable DNA that keeps us strong and healthy, luck to be born in a peaceful and wealthy country, or as important, luck to be naturally born smart and curious as a way to help one’s development. 

So the acquisition of happiness isn’t at all simple, fair or logical. It also often takes much time and I would say many years, or perhaps, a lifetime to reach that enviable state of mind. 

Would you agree with this view?
