Definition Essay On Happiness

Is life really about the 'money', the 'cash', who has the biggest gold chain or who drives the fastest car, or who has the most respect? Today happiness is viewed in many different ways. Everyone defines happiness according to their own personal perspective. Each individual describes their inner feelings in a way that you can't compare with another.Happiness originally means the inner state of well being or a pleasurable or satisfying experience. It enables you to profit from your highest: thoughts, wisdom, intelligence, common sense, emotions, health, and spiritual values in your life. What makes you happy and what makes me happy are different things. Whatever it is that gives me warm fuzzies is determined by me, and only me no one else.

Basketball is an activity that has been in my life for about 10 years. I have grown up watching and playing the sport. When I’m driving to the court I’m filled with happiness before I even get on the court just because I love the sport that much. When I get on the court I see a big crystal clear backboard with a musty orange circle rim, and a ripped red, white and blue net dangling from it.

When I eat my food I am happy and like to enjoy each and every bite. One of favorite foods to eat is pizza, not just any pizza, but one that is from Pizza Delizia in South Brunswick. From Delizia I like to order 2 slices of buffalo chicken. It is a real slice unlike the crap sold by domino’s, the slice is bigger than my head. It is a pizza that literally makes my jaw drop to take a bite. Taking a look at the pizza slice is unreal; it is actually the way it is shown in the pictures, unlike other places. When I take a bite into the slice I could taste the fresh sauce and the chicken; my taste buds start jamming out. When I eat a pizza from Pizza Delizia, it is like if flavor just smacked my face.

Someone once said that “If there is only one thing that brings happiness and joy its pizza.” who ever said that is right because who wouldn’t want a warm slice chicken , cheese and buffalo sauce in their mouth.
