Are you happy?-"Yes, I am. Because a rich person has donated (us = delete) a school building, so I can go to school now."-"No, I am not. Because I have to do a lot of homework (un)til midnight every day." Obviously, different people have their own (different=delete) expectations of happiness.
People often have (some strange=delete - it is a bit too much to both say strange and ridiculous) thoughts that you may think ridiculous, but most people do (act some ridiculous behaviours = behave in a ridiculous manner). If you ask:"why are you so busy (without and not is better) caring about your family?" Maybe one would answer: "well, I'm busy making money to buy them everything" -"Why do you want to make(buy) them everything" -"because they will be happy in this way" -"But they are actually not happy when you are trying to make them happy..."
So, where does happiness come from? The two stories above may give us some(a) clue, but not(no) answers.
I have found (out that) the problem is so hard when(while) (I am=delete) writing this blog! How did I think of such a hard topic when Eva asked me what to write the day before yesterday? Because at that time I was happy. So happiness is simple when you are happy; but it is hard when you are thinking about it...
Happiness is also very generous, when you share your happiness with your friend, your friend also becomes happy, but your happiness never decrease(s):)
It is indeed a difficult topic! But I think you show with your example of the person working too much that it is something that most people could think more about - and learn to focus on what makes them happy instead of focusing on money!
