47-50What makes us happy? While scientists are still doing research on this topic, we do know severalimportant elements that affect our happiness.One factor causing happiness is external factors, such as family history, relationships, and money. Ifsomething horrible happened to us as a child, such as the death of a family member, this might affect ourhappiness for rest of our lives. If we saw a very violent accident or war, this will also affect us. Inaddition, many people think that money brings happiness. While money does provide for food, shelter,heath care, and clothes, once a certain number of basic needs are fulfilled, more money does not actuallymake us happier.Another part of our happiness depends on the personal choices each individual makes. Makingpositive choices like returning a wallet to its owner or standing up on the bus to let an elderly person sitdown are part of what makes us feel happy.Lastly, having a balanced, active life is also part of what makes us happy. This is when we areparticipating in doing something that keeps us active in our daily lives, such as work or a hobby. Thishelps us reach a balance between feeling too bored or too busy. When we find a way to have a balanced,active life, we feel happy from successfully using our skills and talents.There is never just one thing that makes us happy and it may vary with different people.
