Many people in this world do not understand the difference between fun and happiness.Many try to find happiness having fun,but the two words have different meanings.
Fun is play,pleasure,gaiety,merriment,source of enjoyment,amusement,to behave playfully,playful,often a noisy activity,and teasing.
Happiness is contentedness,joy,delight,and satisfaction.
Both fun and happiness are fine,but certainly happiness is the most worth seeking.Happiness can encompass fun as well,but fun alone will not assure us true happiness.
What is happiness:
Happiness lies in doing small things that build us up,that increase our faith and testimony.Small things we do in our everyday lives,such as:
We are happy as we go home after a stressful and tiresome day at work to the arms of our families,as they express love and appreciation for us.We are happy to talk to our children,to enjoy the family,to get together on family night.In short,we can feel happiness every day in our lives through little things we do.
What is fun:
Going to an amusement park or ball game and watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax,temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh.But they do not bring happiness,because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
The way people cling to the belief that fun-filled,painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness,then pain must be equated with unhappiness.But in fact,the opposite is true:things that lead to happiness often involve some pain.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to.
In a word,Fun is temperary while happiness belongs to permanent avtivity.Fun ia easy to get but people seek for happiness in all of their lives.

the difference between fun and happiness
I have read an article about fun and happiness in an English reading comprehension book.I would feel funny on someday,but actually I did not feel very happy ,maybe it is the difference between them.I want to share the arcticle with you!
I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistakes ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, and expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure , excitement. Marriage has such moments , but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples who choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realization we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money : buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure ate happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
