Ask HN: Are you happy?
Just wondering how many folks on HN are truly happy and how they find/define happiness? With so many interesting distractions, hyper knowledge growth and the ability to build anything digital I find a state of increasing or sustaining happiness the most challenging to achieve. Thoughts?

- howscrewedami 9y agoFrom wikipedia: "Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being which can be defined by, among others, positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy." There's your definition. Am I happy? Sometimes I am, but mostly not. Overall, I wouldn't consider myself a "happy" person. But I'm working on changing that. Working on becoming a better/happier person, oddly enough, seems to be one of the few things that bring me happiness.
