  160. how can happiness be found by swithing on a light?happiness is within usHappiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.[1] A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.
    Various research groups, including Positive psychology, endeavor to apply the scientific method to answer questions about what "happiness" is, and how we might attain it.
    Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics.
    Happiness economics suggests that measures of public happiness should be used to supplement more traditional economic measures when evaluating the success of public policy.

  185. If I forget to turn on my light the Grue will eat me :)

    I am going through a tough time right about now and I keep forgetting to turn on my light. When my son smiles up at me happy as can be that I am there, it sure does remind me what is important in life :)

  197. One person within themselves must be able to attatch themselves to joy. Happiness is found with the center. Accepting life and all that is alive within it. The world Will be crazy and falling apart around you and you can still be happy finding the light within self so it will shine on those around you still in the dark.

  207. +Natalie Strohmayer If one cannot find the switch then they must reach out to those close to them. Either share in the light of a loved one (and who is to say that they are not the switch themselves) or ask them if they know where your switch is. Usually if you want to find the switch then you will find it, for your happiness is something that is in you and that it is up to you to recognize. For the light could be lighting your way, but if you do not know what it is, then you may not realize it has always been there.

  234. I'm all about optimism, and it's a welcome sentiment, but I wonder if that's really a general truth. I can think of horrendous situations that people endure, even as we speak, where it would come across as mockery.

  269. this is a nice quote but it's not all the way true if you think about it… there is always a light that is always on. it's whether we choose to SEE the light or let the fear of darkness tell us there isn't a light. just my opinion :) we can either overcome the troubles in our lives or let them overcome us. we all will get overcome at some point but even though we feel like eveyrone and everything is holding us back from getting up again the only one doing that is yourself. you can overcome anything. "Do or do not. There is no try." also "Whether you think you can or think you can't you're right!" it's your choice to let there be darkness in your life. :)

  329. Pretty sure this quote can only be found in the movie. I remember feeling upset when I heard it because I doubted whether Dumbledore would reference muggle technology in mixed company….when not many people would understand. I don't think wizards "turn on lights." ….But I agree with the sentiment! Sorry for the tangent!

  349. The rain has held back for days and days, my God, in my arid heart . The horizon is naked — not the thinnest cover of a soft cloud, not the vaguest hint of a distant cool shower.
    Send thy angry storm, dark with death, if it is thy wish, and with lashes of lightning startle the sky from end to end.
    But call back, my lord, call back this pervading silent heat, still and keen and cruel, burning the heart with dire despair.
    Let the cloud of grace bend low from above like the tearful look of the mother on the day of the father's wrath.
    GITANJALI.

  359. Apart from, We dont' know what is the actual definition of HAPPINESS. We can know only through a Perfect Master. because a perfect master bless him/her & open our divine eye through BRAHM GYAN (divine knowledge) . We can't change our life from a reading book or quotes.
