You Are Happiest When You Are 23, 69

Happiness is qualitative, not quantitative.

It is subjective,

It varies from time to time in an individual.

There is a difference between happiness and contentment.

Contentment is when you have had and you do not need anything, especially something you were after and you feel full as after a Full Meal.Happiness is when you get some thing you earn for and is more closely associated with your efforts and has a value judgement as well.

In contentment there is simply a feeling of fullness.

While happy people need not be contented, contended ones are Happy.

happiness, because of its nature is difficult to assess even subjectively as it keeps on shifting,

However as happiness has a Contentment content, the measure of Happiness may indicate your state.

A Study has now revealed that one is at the peak of Happiness when in 23 or 69.

One is being young, full of aspirations, unsullied by the realities of Life, with pep and vigor where everything seems possible.

At 69, one knows his limit and the Realities of Life and has learnt to be happy by being contents primarily.
