i just want to be happy--

"i gotta find my place
i wanna hear my sound
don't care about all the pain in front of me

cause i'm just trying to be happy"
 hmm, what is happiness? literally defined it is:  
"delighted, pleased, or glad, as over a particular thing: to be happy to see a person."
does it necessarily have to be over something un-specific. how would you define happiness in the context of "to have a happy life" or to be "generally happy"?

personally, i have a generally happy life, i've found joy in my life. but it's continually dampened, by people. people make me sad, not because they make me sad, but their sadness makes me sad. i feel the utmost sympathy for those who i respect deeply.

take this girlie i know for example; my most favorite new parent in the whole wide world, in this particular situation she is 8 and a half months pregnant, and she already has a 2 year old baby girl. her common law spouse is doing some things fround upon intensely. he's fooling around behind this woman's back. she starts crying, sobbing really. i don't get generally sad, but my sympathy overwhelmed me, and i started crying with her.


that's to explain that aspect of my temporary unhappiness.
