True Happiness

What is  happiness? Here is my own definition.
Imagine that, by chance, you see the photo of people you used to know. They are still handsome, rich, they are still spending their lives traveling the world, they own a few elegant houses here and there. The perfect image of success. You have always thought that they must be much happier than you, because you don't have what they do. Suddenly, looking at their smiling images, you realize that, actually, there is one thing that you have and they don't: The opportunity to "give" to others. You may be a doctor, a teacher, a therapist, a volunteer (any occupation that allows you to do something useful to others). The realization that you are "doing" something good (rather than just "having") should be enough to make you feel fulfilled, and therefore happy.
