The Second Hand Happiness

One day I read the sentence "The Second-hand happiness" and wondered what did that mean?. After researching, I found out its meaning: when you make someone else happy, or you be happy for their happiness.  

So have you ever tried to make someone happy?. I can guess the answer, yes. At least you have tried to do this to your beloved ones somehow. Some researcher says, making others feel good about themselves; will make you feel the same about yourself. It is like a reflection of their happiness that affects you deeply.

However, this is happening in many different ways that you choose to follow to fulfill your intention; one of them is to show gratitude for those who are always there for you at good and bad times, your parents, your friends, in this case, you will touch the sky if you see their shiny eyes or wide smile and the reason why is you.

Another way is to refine your behavior; when you be okay with others' happiness, you will have inner peace and be away from feeling a grudge. It's simply a kind of feeling that can make this change inside a human heart.

Therefore, you need others' feeling happy, so you can feel better about yourself. 

Based on human developers' opinions, it's recommended to express your gratefulness for people due to what it has a mutual good impact. Then second-hand happiness is easy and won't cost you that much. This can be done with lovely words, compliments, appreciations, and gifts. They say people who prepare gifts for their beloved are happier than those who receive them.

In general, happiness has the ability to reconciliation with oneself. There is a scene in the series that says, "Happiness is amazing. It's so amazing, it doesn't matter if it's yours or not"
