Happiness has been described as a state of well - being that is characterized by relative permanence, by emotions ranging from mere contentment to deep and intense joy in living, and by a natural desire for it to continue.
Õnne on defineeritud kui heaolu, mis on suhteliselt püsiv; sellega kaasnevad emotsioonid rahuldustundest kuni joovastava rõõmuni ning soov, et see seisund püsiks.
