Would you agree the true definition of happiness is having nothing to fear?

Some people are MADE happy by fears. Some thrill seekers will jump off cliffs, ride in recklessly fast vehicles, and if they think it is too safe they will lose interest. People are more complex than you give them credit for.Would you agree the true definition of happiness is having nothing to fear?
Happiness must be the feeling of things going a step better for propagation, otherwise mankind can not survive.





Ineffective happiness is harmful.

Would you agree the true definition of happiness is having nothing to fear?
No.


But the act of writing that has no fear in it,in reality.


Or so you might suppose.


But if you were held hostage by terrorists, i doubt that


that would apply.
Not really. A person stranded on a desert island with plenty of food and no threats to their person has nothing to fear, yet most people would not be very happy about it.
no


i belive that true happiness is when nothing can effect u and u always remain in ur eternal state of nirvana.
perhaps, that might be part of happiness.. because fearlessness, even of death, can lead one to achieve great things..





but i think true happiness is just another way of describing contentment.. in other words, to be truly happy means to be satisfied with whatever you have.. because your mind won't be plagued with unfulfilled needs and desires..
no.


happiness in itself has nothing to do with the emotion of fear.
No, I wouldn't. Happiness is a feeling, right?





Fear is a feeling. To not fear, is a non-feeling.





To not fear, therefore cannot be defined as a good feeling.





Consequently, happiness would have to be defined as a, ';good'; feeling.

No.





The true definition of happiness is being true and completely at peace with yourself. Once you have accomplished this level of enlightenment, then you will acheive even more happiness because you will be in a position to help others in their journeys through life.
FEARING happiness is like FEAR itself, not knowing the outcome, of life in general.
No. Happiness comes in many ways. Sometimes it comes in the most unexpected moments and for no reason at all, your mood is lighten up. Although fear may have influence our ability to be happy, it isnt really the factor.
There certainly appears to be a relationship between fear and happiness, but I wouldn't limit happiness to the mere absence of fear.
