Happiness is a cappuccino and a pain au chocolat in Paris.

Le Paris,

the place to be.

Its simplest treats,

they set me free!

Happiness is contentment in any circumstance

Through rain and wind and hail and snow,

through bright and sunny days.

The secret to my happiness?

Contentment is my way!

I too have been on a journey my entire life wondering what happiness is. Moreover unlike normal people who always ponder on this mysterious emotion called happiness, I have a reason as to why I am on this investigation. My name literally means happy and trust me the moment you meet me you would definitely prove that my parents got my name wrong. Or may be my name was a beacon I had to aim to reach and then light up. But for now at present I feel happiness is an illusion. As is mentioned in the movie" The pursuit of happiness", Thomas Jefferson knew there was only going to be a pursuit and not happiness itself in its true and purest form.

Thanks Farah for this thoughtful answer and for sharing your journey. I never knew that Farah means happiness! Now I do! 😀

Here's a short poem for you:

"In distant lands and spaces,

I searched for where joy might be,

But soon I came to realize -

that I'm looking for me!" 🤗

Well my friend, you asked me to write about what is happiness. I am not a poet like you and struggled to write a simple rhyme. But then I looked back at all the time we spent tinkering with generative ai tools and how happy I felt exploring these great possibilities with you. So I took it's help and here are four lines about happiness. (All credits goes to ai and you my friend)

Happiness is chilling with my friends on the weekend,

Sharing good times, good vibes, and maybe a little spend,

With great music playing and great conversations to explore,

These moments with my crew are what I adore.

Happiness is seeing my baby boys faces light up when they see me :-)

In their eyes, sparkles gleam

as they feel true love and grace.

Their faces lit, they brightly beam,

at the sight of a parent's face.

Happiness is an unputdownable book, a delicious meal and a vacation that ends up being as fun as you imagined!

A book I'd read,

A meal I'd had,

A place I'd gone to chill.

That's happiness for me, you see.

That's how my heart gets filled.

Happiness to me is a good cup of coffee & playing some great music with my dog sitting next to me.

He sits on a chair,

and he puts on a song.

I sit next to him,

and then we vibe along.

Woof!
