Nailed it. Any "-ness" is a personally-defined state, not something imposed from outside. Happiness. Loneliness. Acrimoniousness. For me, happiness is a spike that accentuates an experience. A memorable moment that takes a snapshot of a "good time". Could be me sitting under my tree, watching the birds, or dancing under a lunar eclipse to some bangin' house music at Burning Man. Happiness to me is that snapshot of a moment in time when I was happy. That's not THE definition of happiness. That's HIS definition of happiness.
