What really is, happiness? Or rather, what people think it is, and how they experience it.

How many moments throughout your life thus far can you recall that you were truly happy, content, and within the moment and nowhere else?

I ask because a lot of people really seem to idealize a great many concepts, take love for example. People love the idea of love, but rarely does it seem to be what they think it is. Or celebrities, certain iconic people; all anybody has been, is, and ever will be, are just people, yet the quality or importance of their existence is greatly exaggerated by some.

Now put that in the scope of happiness.
