How To Make People Happy?

Wow what a guestion.   Each person has a different perception of happiness that changes over time.    The best answer I have come up with to making people happy is to create an environment of unconditional love that adopts to this cycle of change over a persons lifetime.   The "change cycle" has to be able to balance and rebalance to a state that combines the positive characteristics of belonging, perception, companionship, respect, worthiness, peacefulness, desire, intellect, humor, faith, and caring to name just a few.   The "cycle" is the ups and downs in life and those that are able to return to a balance are truly happy.   Those that are unable to rebalance are often referred to the "downers".   The cycle can be broken either through experiences that bring you back to a balanced state and happiness or that lead to the hope of happiness and in several case intervention may be necessary.   Also "MONEY" is not mentioned as a characteristic of happiness because it is not a characteristic.  It however plays a very small part as a means to get to a state of happiness.    The lack of money or wealth, food , or a home can repress our ability to balance or even find our own personal balance to achieve happiness.   Lastly, by not experiencing
"unhappiness" you do not have an appreciation or taste for happiness.   Often people use drugs or alcohol to escape to a state where they appear happy.   This may be true for the moment but it is a state of surreal happiness where your mind is tricked by the drug to believing you are happy.     The reverse is also true where drugs can trick you into an unhappy state.

For those of you that are dog lover's, who can not help but smile and feel happy when your are greeted by the wagging tail of a four legged companion.   In that instance you are happy because you are acknowledged with unconditional love.

The same can be true for consenting parents that hold their new born child for the first time.   Although the child does not wag their tail, you know they are a product of your love and you admonish them with your unconditional love and are truly happy at that moment.

For those of us who are unable to conceive or bring a child into the world I am truly sorry you will never experience the above sort of happiness.   I hope you can personally at least relate to the dog scenario above or some human and mammal interaction.

Lastly, two of the highest forms of happiness on earth are found with your fellow human beings or for those that are very religious in faith worship.

Depends on were the person's happiness lays. If that person knows you are trying to make them happy, surely they will feel happy by that? A person who is greatful deserves that someone who is aiming to make them happy either in the smallest or biggest ways. I usually compliment people through being honest, it makes them leave me with a smile on their face.
