Do You Think That Happiness Is a Form of Addiction?

Question by HotpinkKitties: Do you think that happiness is a form of addiction?
I think that it is! For the most part, people seem to be striving so they can have more in their lives so that they are in a constant state of being, “high” on happiness. Is this need for having all and being happy a good thing? I don’t think it is because some people act crazy over what others have and if they don’t, or the people who have everything look down on others who don’t. I think that is what makes any form of addiction “bad.”

Things that make a lot of people happy.

A nice house
Nice vehicles
Having nice furniture
The newest electronics (tv, cell phones, computers, game consoles w/ games)
Having a family
Nice wardrode/ jewelry
Traveling frequently
Having a job that they want to do
Having Pets
Helping others (a good thing though, lol)

I really think it’s a form of addiction because if you lose your job, in which A LOT of people are using credit, you could lose your car/ house which in turn will make you depressed/worried over providing for your family. Just like if you were snorting coke/or smoking crack and then just stop then well your mood is going to go down too.

Does anyone else agree that happiness is a form of addiction?

Is this addiction okay to have?
