Philosophy of Happiness in Life

If we are happy, we'll contribute happiness to the society, if we are distressed we'll surely inflict others in one way or other. Happiness is a social virtue, it is not an isolated state of mind which only surrounds an individual. Some of us often think that happiness can sometimes act selfishly, which I think and feel isn't right. We cannot enjoy a real happiness, a long lasting pleasure in our life if everything is not well around us. This state of mind can't be reached by fooling others, snatching there rights, bunking our duties. A society which tends to be happy with whatever resources it has will definitely have a large number of individual enjoying happiness. It doesn't means that they do not have problems or they get satisfactory results from everything they do. It only means that these common problems of life do not interfere with the quality of life they can have. Happiness is A Social Virtue We cannot drive happiness by making others unhappy. It is no...

Is happiness a decision , something that we have to decide or is it just pure fate. Is this something that we have to decide i.e., whether we want to accept our present situation and circumstances as they are without doing anything or even looking for a solution or we accept each one of them and decide to work on them and then start working on some solution. Anything that happens or will happen depends on our current decisions to some extent. If we are serious with our life then we can make some changes now and then whenever we feel something is not going right. This can be applied to every sphere of our life whether its our personal life, home, family, job, career, studies, business. A positive decision always brings a positive result which means an everlasting happiness . We all know what is good or bad for us, we read, we watch, we hear and we learn more ways, better options which can be included in our life, to add a new dimension to our life, to further improve quality of...

Every form of life on this planet is meaningful . Even if we don't consider ourselves as an important part of this planet/universe, the environment that we live in, that supports our lives, this fact (whether we are important part or not) remains unperturbed. Whether we consider ourselves to be very important or not important at all, things remain as they are. Just like an ocean filled with water, which is nothing but drops of water containing other minerals. Each drop of water in the ocean has some role to play and they are playing there role in there community called ocean. Each of them has characteristic similar to the ocean or we can say that ocean has characteristic similar to each drop of water it contains. If there is no water there is no ocean, and if there are no drops, there is no water. Meaning of Life Meaning of life for each one of us depends on the role we play in our life, in our family, in our society, at work. Even if we are not aware of our role we are still ...

Happiness seems to be an art of living . It is available to those who seek it. Today we have all forms of comforts available at our disposal but we are not able to enjoy them, earlier before renaissance i.e. industrialization things were quiet simple to understand and follow, now a days things have become very complicated. Today we have good beds but we are not always able to enjoy sleep (a part of our society is today suffering from sleeping disorder). Today we have enough food but we don't find it appetizing. We have 24 hours in a day but we can't find even half an our to relax, to enjoy freedom. Why has this happened, why are we unable to enjoy the way nature and wild animal, insects, plants and flowers enjoy life. Philosophy of happiness seems to be independent of external factors , happiness is not dependent on resources or comforts in life, its beyond these factors. You can read more on happiness in previous posts philosophy of happiness , where can we find happiness ,

In Search of Happiness How do we find happiness and where? There is no definite place where one can find happiness. There is no single abode for happiness either its available to everyone everywhere or for someone it is nowhere. Its strange but its true. Anyway, we are not supposed to consider negative things here as this is not the right place for such discussions. Negative things leads to negative realizations in life and positive things to positive realization. We can think of this world as good or bad (although both are true) but in reality what we get is what we sought. There are so many ways to find happiness . A child can find happiness in a dress, a terrorist can find happiness in explosives and explosions. So, it is you who decides where can you find similarity between happiness and an activity (or happiness without any activity). I will like to list some common places and instances of happiness in our day to day life. A happiness that frequently strikes our vision, the m...

Philosophy of happiness is also an integral part of philosophy of life . It makes life more positive, more rewarding, a lovely place to be around. There are actually very common and easily adaptable principles to understand and retain happiness in our lives forever but in today's complicated environment little, easily manageable things too look very complicated and thus difficult to follow and understand. Here, I can give you 10 tips to be happy , 3 ways to maintain happiness (which can be a future post) etc., which I think most people look for in there online searches. This posts is not meant to provide a quick fix for happiness, this post is meant to use some processing power of your brain in meditation, in order to reach some conclusion on your own as conclusions that we reach after intro-inspections are more stable and effective in our life. I know providing any brief, easy steps to solution are not going to throw enough light or solve the problem in providing any happiness ...

Nature not only protects every form of life but it also bestows the right to survive. We humans are humans and cannot think or act like nature we can only try imitating the nature as per our understanding. Everyone has a right to survive May be we have forgot this message of the nature but environment problems, shrinking ozone layer, economic recession, ecological balance are all a clear indication that nature is not supporting our actions and in order to survive we must make some changes and improvements in our lifestyle. What we think or know may not be correct? All our theories of life and happiness are based on our on interpretation of law of nature, we increased production using artificial techniques, we tried to add taste using artificial flavors, self life using preservatives. Now we are struggling with health problems, some dreaded disease. We cannot escape from nature Some of us think that they can stay away from natural surrounding (that they have created) and prote...

Do you have a problem? There is a solution . Virtually there is a solution for every problem. Life is full of solutions for problem that we have created for ourself. When we find no solution for any problem, then it does not mean that solution does not exists it is only an indication of our failure to find it. May be we are overlooking the solution or may be we are not seriously willing to solve the problem. Solutions are meant for Problems Whatever we do or is done on this planet is a part of a solution package. If we work, we work to provide a specific solution to a specific problem (for our organization or office). When we work to solve there problem they too are working simultaneously to solve our problem (reason which makes us work for them). Real Marketing is targeting the Right Problems We see advertisement and marketing of products and services everywhere whether its a movie, a magazine, newspaper, website or mail. What are these marketers trying to do? Marketers try to t...

Life is not a problem nor a solution . It simply life, an easy way to enjoy things at your disposal. Thinking about logic and philosophy don't make it easy to live. Life is what it is, it doesn't makes any difference whether we discuss life as a philosophy or logic, it is what it has to be. Life is cute, an object which is readily available to each one of us, some of us think and therefore disturb that festive mood of life, while others who don't have the logic or time to think, simply enjoy every moment of life , win. Life isn't as complicated as we think it to be. Its simple and easy. Learn to enjoy life with simplicity and all problems get solved automatically . Thoughts and Logic Kill Taste of Life When we think, we loose some precious moments of happiness . When we try to drive some conclusion we are again loosing more precious moments in arguments that only satisfy our ego. Life doesn't consider whether we consider anything about it or not. It is always t...

Logic and Philosophy are two sides of a coin , philosophy is a logical reasoning of ethical behavior or we can say logically interpreted moral values create a philosophy. Philosophy exists because it is based on the firm ground of logic. Philosophy is appreciated because it teaches moral values logically in a form which is easily grasped by most of us. What is a logical philosophy? What is the importance of philosophy and its logical answers? A life based on a logical philosophy is far more better than a life with no philosophy or logic. Philosophy tries to answer, common questions that often come to our mind. These questions can be very disturbing and need to be immediately answered. If these questions remain unanswered then our overall efficiency in life will decrease to some extent, our energy level will decrease, our charm for life will head downward. Answer to all such questions that exist in our mind, these questions have no real meaning and are practically of no real value bu...
