This word comes from the word "felicitas" which translates as "fertile". It is a state of mind that is related to satisfaction and the pleasure of experiencing feeling happy or pleased with a certain situation, news, event, etc. The concept of this word is considered subjective and relative since there is no way to categorize or measure an index of happiness in a subject.
Therefore, it is summarized as a result of an activity where the factors stimulate the well - being of the person who feels or practices it at that time. There have been different studies that analyze the depth of happiness and its objective in people and what is sought throughout life to achieve a certain level of satisfaction.
There are people who feel fulfilled by meeting professional goals which fulfill them as a human being, many others feel happiness by being parents, traveling or even money and material goods and by not meeting these goals that many times are not raised but rather rather, they usually feel frustration, which would be the opposite of happiness.
In the case of religions, the spiritual is associated with happiness, being a state of the soul that, by purifying itself and accepting God as a whole, creates a feeling of peace. As with other emotions, the reason for being and the reason that encourages or awakens it is completely different for each human being, so they do not mean the same for everyone. Happiness is defined as an internal process that will depend solely and exclusively on the ideals that a person experiences and proposes.
We also find that joy and happiness are not taken as equals since happiness requires emotional and rational stimuli, but joy can be experienced while being happy or one can be happy but not joyful. However, it is taken into account that happiness can be produced by small things accumulated during the day.
