Most of our lives, we are looking for happiness. Sometimes consciously and most other times we have just developed an instinct over the years that leads us to try to become happier than we are.

Happiness comes in all shapes and forms. Sometimes seeing others happy can make you happy. Happiness is contagious, in those cases. In others increasing your worldly belongings does the trick. Every human in the world comes with their set of desires. Achieving desires will make you happy.

Sometimes it’s the company you’re with. A partner. So what is it about that partner that makes you so happy? Is it the way they look after you or is it the way they look at you and smile? Like you just made their day by merely existing in it. Great feeling. This kind of happiness is also contagious and by far the best happiness around.

But then again, a grouchy person would say otherwise. Maybe seeing others happy doesn’t really do it for them. Yes, people like those do exist.

It’s almost like every person has that side to them. You will only be happy by seeing a group of people happy. Seeing another set of people happy wont necessarily do that for you. Why not? Because humans develop preferences as they age. The good people and not the not so good people. Seeing both of them happy, doesn’t really cut it for us.

Is it how we make friends? maybe. We pick the people we like. Seeing them happy makes us happy. Being with them makes us happy. A man(or woman) is known by their company, and it stems from knowing whats making them happy. If the wrong kind of people are making you happy, then that does make a statement about you.

Pick your people wisely, it is something that will stay with you, influence you and possibly change you in ways which you wont see coming.
