By now there are two kinds of difference happiness; the happiness that comes from getting what we hunger for and the happiness of the total absence of hunger.


As I’m Thai who living in Thailand . I think happiness of Thai people based on respect to Buddhism.

In the Dhamma sense, happiness is when there is no hunger or want at all, when we're completely free of all hunger, desire, and want.

There is the Dhamma principle for living and stopping foolish hunger results in peace of mind, cool happiness, freedom from disturbance, working as doing Dhamma (not for money), sustenance enough life with dept free, giving and sharing to others .

The world today continues to develop the kind of education and evolution that seek merely to produce things which are more lovely and satisfying. Modern technology and science are slaves of hunger. Our world is falling into this deep hole of endlessly producing increasingly seductive things to try to satisfy hunger. Everybody are bothered by hopes and wishes. These hopes, wishes, and expectations are another kind of spiritual hunger.

Hunger is solely a mental problem. The highly developed human mind develops hunger into the spiritual hunger that results in attachment.

If we don't know how to living with enough, although we may be millionaires, with homes full of consumer products and pockets full of money, we still hunger spiritually. The more we consume, the more we hunger. However much we try to satisfy mental hunger, to that extent it will expand, grow, and disturb the mind ever more. Even billionaires are spiritually hungry.
