Many people believe that individuals are responsible for their own happiness, while others think happiness is dependent on other external factors. Discuss both views and include your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and examples from your experience.

Life is very short and during that time we have to face many challenges and have to communicate with people, who can make us into many situations. Some people think that our own happiness is made by myself but others think that our frame of mind depends on several factors. From my point of view, we are the only ones who can keep ourselves happy and serene. To begin with, many people accept that happiness emanates from how others act toward us. They think that they just can have the meaning of life or other things only if other people are with them. The statement, ‘No man is an island, is also true and one can feel happy and safe when people are around motivating and supporting him. For instance, what I have witnessed is one of my friends can only stay with her family or friends and without them, she feels depressed she also had a case of suicide by herself. On the other hand, many individuals held themselves that they are only responsible to make themselves contentment because they believe that self-pleasure is a state of winning the first price, successful at work, and spending money on themselves. Those people also consider that for their enjoyment, other external factors do not include in the main reason but their internal peace of mind. When a person is filled satisfied with one-self, he is happy. So, they think that they don’t need others to be joyful in their life except for their family. In conclusion, although many people trust that happiness just comes from the outer side of their mind, every individual is responsible to feel satisfied with her/his own life choices. I also strongly accept that real pleasure just comes from our inner minds and soul.
