Happiness cannot be measured and counted like any object or thing that is material or can be sensed. Happiness is abstract because it is a quality dependent on feelings and comfort of the heart.
It is possible that a person's happiness can be measured by calculating how often he feels happy and how much he feels sad. And that's not an exact number. In essence, happiness can be measured by the joys and sorrows that are felt.
Many claim that a person can feel perfect happiness when he has got; throne, treasure, woman. But is this statement true? True or not, we can see how someone who is wallowing in wealth can have a restless life, even with those who have the throne and beautiful women. So what's the answer? Later we will discuss more in the section on Happiness and Spirituality.
If we ask people what happiness means, the answers we receive will vary. It turns out that everyone has a different definition of happiness according to their background, feelings and the life they live.
