Happiness

Happiness seems easy to understand for everyone, but no one can define it exactly that is because it is not the same for everyone.While some people consider happiness as a mental or emotional state of well being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions, others likephilosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life rather than simply as an emotion.

Happiness is what givesour lives a meaning, without it people wouldn’t find a reason to live that is why achieving happiness is so important. Some might think that inorder of achieving happiness you have to spend your life according to virtue like peace, justice and courage, to name a few, others more pessimistsaid that all happiness is an illusion, that life oscillates like a pendulum back and forth between boredom and pain.

I tend to think that agood way to find what really makes us happy is to overcome our mundane forms of happiness, such as acquiring wealth and find our inner voice, find itbeyond all and actually listen to it.

To sum up happiness is the only thing that humans desire, because it’s a characteristic of a good lifethat is a life in which a person is fulfilled. The happy person is virtuous and I personally think that achieving happiness is the ultimate goal oflife. In a nutshell I firmly believe that there are some moments of happiness in life, but the great and permanent happiness does not exist.
