Happiness

Happiness “I am feeling happy today “is a phrase that is uttered by people each day. I recently had a discussion about happiness with my friend. Our discussion centered on three causes of happiness. The first cause was common between us which is genetics. We agreed that people who are born with normal levels of serotonin and dopamine in their brains can be happy. When we talked about the second cause which is substance abuse, my friend disagreed because he didn’t understand and accept the idea of taking drugs to be whether happy or not. Finally, he agreed on the third cause which is environment because everything around us may affect our mood to be happy or not such as success in school, getting married, and living with family make us happy in our life. In spite of the conflict at one point of the discussion between us, we learned a lot from each other and shared our opinions.
