The Face of Happiness

Happiness, like fear, is something that is universal among human emotions without a doubt. To try and describe happiness brings about many images and things that produce positive feelings. In a sense, happiness describes itself, and is almost innately known. When one is happy, there are many physiological effects. Neurotransmitters flood the brain, including endorphins, which promote a feeling of well-being.

The facial expression for happiness is, of course, a smile. Although, there are circumstances where an individual may be pretending to be happy, the tell tale sign of true happiness are crows-feet that appear at the corner of the eyes. The above picture illustrates this quite well.
