It depends on the point of view, education, culture, level of education, character and many other things. When a person has a lot of things he can not see the little things and can not enjoy them.
The proverb is "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". That tells something about our pursuit of happiness.
The path of inner contentment will always bring more happiness than the path of
greed and materialism.
It's not so hard to get it, but it's hard to recognise and to keep it.
السعادة يمكن أن نحصل عليها وقد وهب الله هذه النعمة لنا وشرع موارد تحققها. ولكن من يجعل الوصول إليها ويتصورها معقدة وصعبة المنال هو الإنسان نفسه ويأتي ذلك من حدوث وتبلور الخلافات بكل أبعادها بين فئات المجتمع والاختلاف بالرأي والمزاج والشخصية فضلا عن تراكم الظروف والمحن المختلفة
Yep !!! It is in our hands and we refuse to see it and see it closely :)
It is all around us but we sometimes do not recognize how blessed and fortunate we are for all the joy and happiness in our lives! Try to enjoy the little things.
Thanks for all of you .... thanks for response with the question... Alaa Hamza Dwelee
Bliss is the true nature of consciousness - it is different from happiness - Bliss is lasting and eternal whereas happiness is temporary.
Warm regards Tina
Is happiness hard to get or is it in our hands but we don’t see it?
Personally I think happiness is easy to get if we do our level best in everything we do & appreciate or contended with what we already have.
Definitely it is in our hand , but it depends on the persons, their attitude and how to use or employ it to make their life full with happiness
Happiness comes with self content, one can only be happy if he or she is at peace and Harmony with inner self .
I think people can be truly happy, if they've found what makes them really happy in this life. It depends on individual traits, right education in a family, school, and later in life. There is an element of luck as well.

Happiness is on our hands and purely dependent on our activities in the society.
Naturally, every person seeks to happiness. Some people strive to seek material happiness in this world away from religion, thinking that this is the true happiness. As Muslim, however, the straight path to ALLAH is the eternal happiness. Regards.
Some times hapieness is in our hand but we dont see it but happy times pass quickly in opposite
to sad times
The question “ What is happiness ?” is rather a philosophical one. Since ancient times, sages have tried to know him. And how much humanity will exist, so much will it look for an answer. But this is one of those few questions that do not need to be answered. Happiness is in simple things, and many people have the happiness in their hands, but they do not see it, after all everyone has their own recipe for it...
As for me, happiness for me is the possibility to be yourself and love and perceive life and peaple as they are:) and not wait for anything in return; to live today and now, to rejoice in every minute... in the end just to go home where you are waited.
Sometimes life brings trouble to us, but also at the same time it gives us the strength to overcome them. Happiness is in our hands. Except for a few moments in life that we must overcome to become happy again:)
As the great writer, Milan Kundera said: “We pass through the present with our eyes blindfolded."
Happiness is a Chameleon!
Happiness is partly dependent on one's conscious actions to enjoy it ; and is dependent partly on other peoples' conscious or unconscious actions to help us enjoy same or prevent us from enjoying same.
Happiness is related to our mind ,our attitude of our life ,our social environment & such other related areas but to me one has to take the happiness of his own so that he may receive the overall happiness for himself ,& also for his own development .
Happiness should be experienced & it has the tuning with the mind & as such we have not to go for happiness as it remain only our identity .
This is my personal opinion
A value system must be based on honesty. In such a case there would be a state that has effectiveness with really happy people. To adapt to the corrupt system means to lose dignity, honour and integrity and to degrade.
Sometimes things are in front of our eyes but we do not see them, but expect them away from us look at the horizon and then do not see anything that negatively affects our lives and frustration.
Poor people "see the things in front of their eyes" very well, besides they perceive their beggarly salaries and even forecast their disempowerment. They don't see anything unexpected- greed of "the elite" has no limits.The happiness of the ordinary people is in seeing the right things.
Everyone wants to remain happy. But due to lack of clarity in thoughts it becomes a bit difficult for a common man to remain happy for a longer duration. Happiness comes from within, so one must cleanse his/her inner self for living happily.
Happiness may be even after small achievements and big achievements sometimes doesn't respond to it
“happiness does not really depend on objective conditions of either wealth, health or even community. Rather, it depends on the correlation between objective conditions and subjective expectations.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
I think that happiness is not hard to get, it may be found in good deeds to others and satisfaction with reality
Sometimes things are in front of our eyes but we do not see them .
"A fox, almost with hunger dying, Some grapes upon a trellis spying, To all appearance ripe, clad in Their tempting russet skin, Most gladly would have eat them; But since he could not get them, So far above his reach the vine-- 'They're sour,' he said; 'such grapes as these, The dogs may eat them if they please!' Did he not better than to whine?"
The thing one strongly desires is or seems near yet is not attainable. "So near and yet so far" From Aesop's, La Fontaine's, Krylov's fables https://penlighten.com/summary-meaning-of-aesops-fable-fox-grapes?fbclid=IwAR3ZeEcek2fV8sQOLg2DcJxXVQ6RipgZZExVLPPbi5gOH6iB1S9hY0L9T_Y
