Do you think that you can understand and make other people's happiness?

"No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another's happiness."

-Graham Greene

I do not think you can. You might say that you can, but no one can understand all of things for others. If you think you can, it will be a just your thougt. If your friends have a hard time and share their difficulty, you will hear what they speaking to you and give them some advice, because you believe you understand your friends. Your friends, however, do not think you understand all of thing from them, because you cannot be other people. That is the only reason. That's why you also cannot make other people's happiness even you believe you did it. Happiness can only make by yourself and for yourself. As i mentioned that you cannot be other people.

I agree with some of the statements you have mentioned above however, I'm confused with what your main point is. But in my opinion, happiness cannot be measured. It is a feeling that only one person can fully understand. Happiness is an emotion that is expressed when a person has had either a profound moving experience, or perhaps, something smaller: something of the tiniest gesture. Therefore, I agree with Graham Greene in that "No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another's happiness."

I quite agree with your opinion. Maybe we can stay with our close friends when they are upset and talk to them to make them notconcerntrate too much on the thing witch made them unhappy. Hwever, we are not our friends themselves. We cannot really help them go out of the difficulties they met. They should overcome by themselves.

I almost agree with your opinion.
If you want to let others happy, most times you should know what they desire or what they want.
Maybe you cannot know every detail about their demands; you can figure out the more important thing. And you help them when they need help. That's enough.

I strongly agree with your opinion. Humanbeing is selfish animal. All people are busy with their own life. We trust only ourselves not others. Some people say they trust their best freind. Partly, however, they should have something to doubt about their friends.
