Questioning Happiness

When I think of Happiness as defined and conceptualized on this web site, I don't know the answers to the questions below.

Is Happiness contagious?

Is Unhappiness contagious?

What role (if any) does humor play in Happiness?

What is the relationship between euphoria and Happiness?

How (and how much) does kindness from strangers impact our Happiness?

Is 'Group' Happiness possible?

Is artificially induced Happiness okay?

Are there too many 'Happiness Gurus' on the web, and do any of them (us?) know what they're (we're?) talking about?

Are there certain types of music that increase or decrease our Happiness or Unhappiness to a greater or lesser degree?

Fill in the blank - "Buying (blank) makes me happy." For me, the (blank) is a book. What is the relationship between that material object, or what it may represent, and my Happiness? Or is it the symbolism found in the act of purchasing that contributes to Happiness, and if so, is that Happiness?

Does busyness enrich our Happiness, or does it just keep us from contemplating our Unhappiness?

Sadness is not the same as Unhappiness. Does sadness impact our Happiness, and if so, how?

As my thoughts evolve, any one of these questions may become a future post.
