Happiness. What is happiness? What does it mean?

Is happiness a feeling or a knowing? Is it some fleeting feeling we all strive to achieve? According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, happiness is “a state of well-being and contentment.”

Can a person be continually happy while also facing struggles or experience pain or grief?

I’ve often wondered what makes a person content—or even happy—while muddling through tough times. Is it in their DNA to be perpetually positive and helpful or is it the belief that having hope leads to happiness?
