Conquering Happiness
Do people conquer happiness at some point during their life? Are they happy? Or maybe a better question would be what happiness is for them? Aristotle believes all men agree to call happiness to the unit of the goods obtained, the highest good obtained, but that is difficult to define it and to describe it. From this point the variance of opinions is appreciated with inaccordance on how to understand happiness; pleasure for some; honors for other; intellectual knowledge for others. Aristotle rejects that the wealth can be define as happiness, therefore is a way to obtain pleasures or for others to obtain honors, but he recognizes that people can convert wealth in their center of attention. Going further, happiness is an important state of the human being. Itconstituent the center of the wellbeing, learning how can people conquer happiness and what it is in real meaning, can make them to achieve success in life. Happiness can fulfill the soul with a relaxing and completeness feeling. Based on Aristotle’s theory of happiness I will go through happiness as the ultimate good as the center of what people should fight for as the highest achievement, some ofthe constituents of a happy life, and how does one become completely happy at the highest point, in order to defend Aristotle’s main concept of happiness in one’s lifetime.
“Happiness is to be acquired by learning or by habituation or some other sort of training, or comes in virtue of some divine providence or again by chance. Now if there is any gift of the gods to men, it is reasonable thathappiness should be God-given and most surely God-given of all human things inasmuch as it is the best. But this question would perhaps be more appropriate to another inquiry; happiness seems, however, even if it is not god-sent but comes as a result of virtue and some process of learning or training, to be among the most godlike things; for that which is the prize and end of virtue seems to be thebest thing in the world, and something godlike and blessed.” (Nicomachean Ethics.)
Aristotle established that all men are projected to reach the happiness. Based on his investigations, and what he collected from other opinions, Aristotle reinforces his own thesis that the happiness consisted of the possession of the wisdom. Aristotle, start from the thesis that good and happiness are conceivedfor the men depending on their life status.
“Aristotle argues that all human beings seek happiness, and that happiness is not pleasure, honor, or wealth, but an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue. Virtue is of two kinds: moral and intellectual. Moral virtue comes from training and habit, and generally is a state of character that is a mean between vices of excess and deficiency.For example, Aristotle portrays the virtue of courage as a mean between the extremes of rashness, an excess, and cowardice, a deficiency. Intellectual virtue produces the most perfect happiness and is found in the activity of reason or contemplation.”(Hikaru)
The multitude and the most unrefined put supreme good in the pleasure, relating to their love the voluptuous life. The pleasure causescorporal delight through the sensory perception, and is not the perfect good for the man if it is compared with the goods of the soul. Other men aim at the honor, the happiness is for them "the prize to the virtue". And the honor seems to be the entire prize to the virtue. But the honor depends more on who gives it that of who receives it. The honor is offered to someone who has a sign ofexcellence and work towards the excellence, therefore the honor is a consequence of the happiness, but it cannot consist mainly in the honor. Happiness is not a way to be, is a state where satisfaction plays an important role on what has been reached through life.
“Happiness is so important to us human beings that you’d think everyone would’ve have worked out how to have it by now. Surprisingly, they...
