From birth, happiness is the natural state humans are designed to be in. Unless their basic needs aren't being met (e.g. sleep, food, being nutured) babies and children are almost always full of joy, happiness, and curiosity. Think about: they giggle; they smile and move freely; they find simple things to entertain themselves without a second thought.
So why does it seem like we lose that sense of happiness as an adult? Is the energy of the negative news that drains us? Is it the sense of responsibility and obligation to work, family, friends, and community?
