Happiness was the joy of being satisfied and the desire to maintain the status quo. It was not just a feeling of happiness, satisfaction, or convenience, but a rich, fulfilling, and meaningful life. Happiness was the eternal goal and pursuit of human life. It depends on whether the individual is satisfied with his life and the relationship between the individual and others. The degree of happiness was affected by social development, social media, and the satisfaction of individual psychological needs. Happiness was a long-term mental state.

Happiness was the goal that humans constantly pursued. It was an important driving force in people's lives and an important factor in social stability and national governance.
