Being happy, no doubt about it!
Both. But appreciating all that I have everyday and feeing good about it is priceless
No question. Content wins every time.
Happy! Always want to add things to my life that make me happy. have a little pile of happy memories, people, experiences... I already have contentment in my life! it's a good one!
I'm not sure this one is so easy. I read recently that happiness is so fleeting that it's really about being content. People sometimes try too hard to be happy, and the peaks and valleys are extreme. I don't think I'm not happy, but that more of the time I am even and content. I think if contentedness as a general happiness with life, so both I guess!

Happy
Happiness. And cara always makes me happy!
Both. Can't answer this!
That is because it is an incomplete question. I cannot answer this one-the app won't let me-. But, it is happy, content and unhappy. Happy and unhappy are fleeting. Content is the general feeling of "all is good" in life, relationship, work, friendship; the "mean" if you will. So I choose BOTH and unhappy can take a hike! I love you!

Contentness lasts longer .. I believe
Content. Generally if you are content you are happy!
Content, happiness is a great feeling that I share very frequently with my family, however, it is a passing emotion. On the other hand, being content with ones life and standing in the world is a kind of zen that will bring frequent and lasting happiness.
Being happy is more important to me than being content.
Content for me. Then happy. I don't think I could be happy and discontent at the same time.
Why can't I be both?
I would have to say both. Being happy and content go hand in hand. If your not happy than your not content. You'll always be looking for something or someone better. If you are happy than you are in a state of content because everything within you is right.
Being happy I would say
