Happiness is knowlage or intuition in whatever tenuous way of the abyss, and reconciliation of it with the beauty of things - again in whatever tenuous manner. It's no definate answer, really.
Then we must ask ourselves whether joy we experiance is happiness and whether we are capable of being happy, just as we must question ourselves if we have the ability to love and question ourselves if we have the ability to open our eyes to the world, accepting what is and hoping for better.
Do you read what you type? That comment makes absolutely no sense; it sounds like you just tried to confuse people by speaking condescendingly.
It's also a bit hypocritical of you to supply an explicitly precise definition of happiness, and then qualify your comment with "It's no definite answer, really".
Happiness has nothing to do with tenuous ways of the abyss, it's a primal feeling you get from doing something you enjoy. I have yet to meet a person who finds happiness in the reconciliation of 'knowlage'. I have also yet to meet a person who has never experienced happiness once in their life, which leads me to the conclusion that everyone is capable of being happy. So why would anyone question themselves if they are capable of being happy? But then again, who knows? Maybe I just haven't opened my eyes up to the world yet.
I value people getting along very much. I also value intelligent thought. The reason that this livejournal is a forum is to encourage intelligent thought and open up the floor for responses. One thing that everyone who comments on this forum is offering up their opinion for critique by others. The initial comment did not seem to have a lot of direction, and I think that was made very clear by the response offered. I am of course grateful to the inital commenter for expressing his thoughts, but I'm also grateful to the second commenter, though anonymous, for keeping my the topic moving straight ahead.
Moral of the story, think about what you leave in a comment--this journal is read by some very intelligent folks.
Please leave your name on your comment. I shall draft an e-mail to Microsoft and all other word processors asking them to change the "Spell Check" tool to the "(your name)" tool.
