Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.
Various research groups, including Positive psychology, endeavor to apply the scientific method to answer questions about what "happiness" is, and how we might attain it.
Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics.
Happiness economics suggests that measures of public happiness should be used to supplement more traditional economic measures when evaluating the success of public policy.
Happiness is a fuzzy concept and can mean many things to many people. Part of the challenge of a science of happiness is to identify different concepts of happiness, and where applicable, split them into their components.

Genres: Comedy, Short,Oh my angel
Sweet sweet angel
Come to me swiftly
This night so still
For dawn does come swiftly
I been gone so long
But your face is so lovely
It keeps my faith strong
My hands are unsteady
I'm so far from home
Just tell me angel
I'm never alone
Lay with me angel
Speak not a word
Your body's so slender
Like the wings of a bird
Fly from me angel
When you see dawn has come
I'll be with you angel
