And that's what it's all about (Slither)

Without doubt, the most essential ingredient for a perfect life is 'happiness'.
With a little bit of thought, any one who can understand the fancies of one's heart can conclude that happiness, whether you admit it or not, does come from possessions.
Regardless of what the self-proclaimed 'elite' few say, happiness doesn't come from helping others or charity or social good. Those deeds bring us satisfaction; and satisfaction is definitely not pure unadulterated happiness.

So, what are the possessions that can bring a person happiness?

Good food - Food is something that many of us can easily conjure an image of. Good food must be tasty, healthy, must not leave you gasping on your dining chair and definitely not on your toilet seat.
It must be tasty enough to put a smile on your face without the slightest of interference from your brain. It must be healthy enough to enable you to live for several years over which, you can consume more of the delightful mass. And last but not least, good food must be sentimentally pleasing.

Wealth, money and all that jazz - There are many ways in which people interpret wealth. Some call it their family, others think that wealth is their mental sanity and many think that wealth is anything that is worth money. To me, wealth is mostly the money you possess and a bit of everything else. At this point, you may raise your eyebrows with doubt or even contempt and might go to the extent of declaring me, a shameless narcissist. But, for a minute, think of how convoluted wealth would become if one confuses it with happiness. Family, generosity and everything else that one might choose to add to that list is far more than wealth. Wealth is quiet simply, happiness from abundance of richness. Nothing more and nothing less. However, happiness is something beyond. Though many affirm and reaffirm that 'money is not everything', it almost is everything.

Good looks ? - A happy person must look happy.
One's clothing must resonate the sense of happiness and joy that prevails in one's mind. The attire must feel comfortable and at the same time, must not immerse one's senses entirely in its vanity. To the onlookers, the attire must not scream of your happiness. It must rather melodiously sing it to their eyes. It must not make the onlookers jealous. But must make them appreciate it. It must make them smile.
One can have a potbelly or can be excessively puny and still be the happiest person in the world. It is not one's personal physical appearance that matters but the fact that the person is happy the way they are. Come to think of it, a lean Santa Clause wouldn't have been as much fun as the one with rosy cheeks and a big belly.
In short, one must know that given the way they look, they can go where they want, talk to who they want to and get what they want.

Professional life - Relaxation is meaning less without stress or strain. In fact, an over relaxing life can be rather cloy and boring. A person with the perfect life would be the one who has a high paying job as the technical or financial consultant of several multinational large-scale enterprises. Obviously, one must also have the intellectual and technical expertise and should be of impressive intelligence so as to sustain such a high paying job without the tensions of the job taking its toll on the person's mental and physical health.

Travelling - We must understand and accept that we see the world when we travel and it is this world that shapes our thoughts.
One's means of travel must be of the kind that shows a wholesome picture of the world; the good, the bad, the bitter truth and the comforting reality.
A perfect journey back home after a day's hard work would begin 40 stories high, above the towers of the city, in a lift that is walled by transparent glass and descends to a busy yet uncrowned street. From there, a short taxi ride to a private airport from where one is flown to a private island in a private jet. In the island, must be a fair distance between the landing strip and the mansion which must be covered in a fancy car with a thunderous engine and princely luxuries.

Lifestyle - Much unlike popular belief, the best house is not the biggest one. The best house is one that is filled with so many memories that to the one it belongs to, the house is alive; in other words, the house must be alive with memories. It must enjoy your happiness in times of prosperity and must give you the sense of comfort that there exists a place where one cannot be disturbed by the world. It must never be too small for one's dear and loved ones and must never be so big that one feels lonely in it.
It should have a private coastline (indeed a private island would) with lots of sun shine, clear blue skies and cool breeze.

Etc - The sense of satisfaction that comes from helping the needy is sublime. A person cannot be truly happy without knowing for sure that he or she makes others happy.
The feeling of having played an important role in the stage, is like the final brush strokes to a master piece.

'Happiness is real only when it is shared'.
The happy person must have happy friends and a happy family to share the joys of life with.
A family is a huge responsibility; but it is also the key to greater happiness that one can attain by living up to the responsibility.

These are the few things that are essential for a happy life. It might seem like it is a lot to ask for; however, no one is asking. These are more like a set of goals to live for.
After all, we only get one life.
