Philosophy of Happiness in Life

I don't think that there can be a philosophy without logic . Philosophy is an art of reaching a conclusion based on suggestions from a number of quarters i.e different factors of life. Logic makes it a sound decision which is hardly counter productive, logic makes it accepted among different thinkers. If there is no logic there is no philosophy? This is what I personally hold about logic and philosophy . Logic is to philosophy like air is to life. A planet without air is a planet without life. A philosophy without logic is dead. Nobody will like to accept it or in other words nobody will feel inclined or attached in it. Logic is important to philosophy and for me it must be a combination of moral values, I can't think of a philosophy without integrating morals and ethics.

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...

Are we confused? Yes, we are. I don't know about you but I know about myself. Like each one of us, I too have seen many faces of life, I too have tried many tricks to solve puzzle of life , and at some point I realized that I was trying to solve the puzzle with a wrong mindset which was in turn puzzling me. When I worked for money, I set the type (quality) and amount (tasks) I will actually do to justify the amount of money I will get. I wasn't able to perform at work because I wasn't able to get the money I wished to get from the work. My unsatisfied mind produced unsatisfactory work. I tried to find a work which justified quality of my work with money and facilities I deserved, but I didn't find any. I had failed on both fronts either earing money or working. Soon, I was frustrated and depressed with the situation. I felt so much humiliated that I didn't wanted to work for money anywhere, now I had changed my strategy, I only wished to work or do things that I...

Why do we work? Just like philosophy of money, there is a philosophy of work too . We work for money and get money for our work. This is true when we glance at the picture casually. We all think and know that we have to work because it is the only source for earning money, but it isn't always true. Money can't always be the reason for working, doing jobs. This can be easily understood when we look further into this issue. Actually we are naturally inclined to work , to do something which is physical or mental. We always need to engage ourself, if we are unable to find something to get hooked to, we will try to run away from that situation, place or time. We have a natural built-in tendency to work, we cannot survive without working. Even a child who has nothing to do with money tries to do some work. We like to engage ourself in something to such an extent that we can even pay or spend our hard earned money to keep ourself busy or involved. So, I think and feel that it is wr...

Working for Money or money for work? We all work for money and there is no philosophy in it . It is just a way of life, and nobody has time to think or understand any philosophy or view on it. In ordinary life money is usually the prime factor which makes us work, they only reason we seek work. If we are unemployed and searching for work then we are not searching for work because we are unemployed or have enough spare time which can be used for some useful purpose. Our search for job or work is primarily a search for money which we think is the sole root of comforts in life, job or work is a medium through which we lay hands on money. We may or may not be interested in the job or work we are searching for or that we have to do but we are definitely interested in the money that it will fetch. Why do we need money? I know it is a stupid question in modern economic scenario. Money is today the only standard scale which is used to scale virtually everything in modern life whether its ran...

Imagination followed by realization is in fact a fact . We are designed to follow this pseudocode subconsciously. We cannot work towards a goal without an image, this image can be benefits and advantages that are showered on us with the realization of the image in our mind or the new commanding position that is bestowed on us. Role of Positive Thinking in Imagination and Realization Positive thinking plays a crucial role in our imagination and realization process . Positive thinking can change the scene dramatically, it can make turn impossibility into possibility. There are many benefits of positive thinking which can pointed here like:- Positive Thinking always has a really high probability of success. A positive image is spontaneously supported by a number of natural factors and forces which play important role in realization of positive imagination. Positive Thinking has so many low hanging fruits which provide a number of multi-facet benefits in wellness and well...

Philosophy of Happiness for me is calmness in life. Calmness too can be temporary like happiness like some moments that we get during relaxation, we usually relax everyday, we need this either as a period of rest or recharging. This calmness that we look for and find everyday is a small dose of happiness which keeps things going for us.

What is happiness ? Where can we find one. Is it in the sense of attachment or detachment. What is its importance in our life. Are we at mercy of someone for happiness. Can we control how much of happiness can we have as and when we want it. I just tried to find answer to ' What is happiness ' by looking the word 'Happiness' in Wordweb, a computer based dictionary and all that they display happily for happiness is 1. Happiness is a noun (good for school kids) 2. Happiness is a "State of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy" . This is the definition I won't like to describe my state of happiness. I'm happy and this is a great feeling, which isn't common and the reason for this also too great and this dictionary says its simply an emotion, a feeling which don't carry much weight age today. Feelings and emotions come and go. If a person is moody or insane he can get this emotion every now and then. So, for ...

Modern Life : An Energetic Life Life is energy, power , decreasing energy and power are a symbol of stagnation, a move towards lifelessness. Modern life is vibrant, filled with energy and power. Modern urban areas are more energetic and vibrant then rural area. Bigger cities are more vibrant and energetic then smaller cities. Rich have more energy and power then poor.  Todays energy, power and vibrancy has one more characteristic i.e. modern machines, comforting zones, latest equipments. Man enjoys the power and energy of these machines and equipments. He is a consumer of the service they provide and in order to get this he feed these machines with energy sources. Now when most of the countries on this planet are moving from under developed to developing, developing to developed, the requirement of energy for these machines have increased. Today it has increased to such a level that demand and supply have reached a critical point. Most of the energy resources are already destro...

Understanding philosophy of eternal blissfulness which is a ceaseless state, isn't unattainable. Its available to each one of us, without any physical hard work. This blissfulness is a superset of all blisses and all forms of happinesses known to man. It's so much powerful that everything in the universe that we are aware of (existence) strives for it. May be we don't known about it (conscious), but it is very much there and is a never ending trend. Some of us know this or enjoy this eternal bliss partially and you can discover those who enjoys this blissful state. Actually they are all cool, peaceful, unbiased. Always ready to pass this on to others, who need this blissful state. There gentle gesture makes them a gentleman. Today this word 'gentleman' is commonly used without much stress on (meaning of) gentleness, but the word exists because it points towards those who stand out. Lack of this inertness/eternal blissfulness is actually the reason behind all the un...

Happiness is something we all strive to get, we are not alone in our endeavor to search for happiness. This whole universe, all forms of living and non living things in this universe strive for it. This is in fact a scientific universal truth. Some of us may think of this happiness in other words, some of us may misunderstand this happiness in the form of an objective, a desire, a plan. Actually all the things we do, all objectives in our life, all objectives in our day have a propensity towards this happiness , the ETERNAL BLISS. Even scientists will agree to the fact that all the atoms are always constantly trying to acquire an inert configuration. Inertness is said to be a stable state. All the forms of actions and reactions that take place regarding atoms is actually an endeavor to get that inertness. So, we see all these things happening around us, all the chemical industries on this globe are taking advantage from this inclination of atoms. Now look at us, we the humans we thin...

Life is a mystery and nature is mysterious . The more we try to solve this mystery, more entangled this mystery becomes. One way to live with this mystery is to take a middle path i.e., although you known a subject well still you don't known it that well. This mystery has always been there for those who try to master a science or art existing in this nature, as after a point of exploring truth one comes across evidence that point to mystery, something which isn't in line with the fact that helped to reach this point of exploration. Mystery of nature isn't bad for the nature or life on this planet or the universe. A life which is lead as per the normal natural route isn't mysterious at all. All the things are well established and commonly known to everyone. Only when one tries to cross the barriers of natural limits one faces these mysteries of nature. Mystery of nature is a mystery itself. Even nature whether its mysterious or not is always supportive of a common ...

Understanding of Modern Men : We have reached new heights in science and technology, today we know more about our body, our society, our surrounding, our universe and things within it . We think we have achieved information and tools which nobody would have ever thought were possible or even dreamt of ever. All this that we have today and we known will be even better tomorrow is just an object within a time frame. A time frame that we can think of, a time frame we can keep a record of, a time frame within which our whole resources and processing power gets exhausted. This include the maximum and minimum time that we can think of or calculate or even achieve or realize using our modern high-tech processing power. I’m not questioning understanding of modern man . I just want to know that whether it’s a complete picture, does it really covers everything that is or can be or have been there. Are we really reaching a conclusion, something which really depicts a true picture or this j...

We think that it is philosophical to think of life from a different perspective . A perspective which isn't commonly used in normal course of life, which if used and applied to the perspective of every active citizen will make a difference in there productivity and level of satisfaction in life . On the other hand people think of philosophy as a subject which is used for higher studies or a branch of art like sociology, history etc. They think it is good to study philosophy but in real life there isn't much philosophy like the one provided in philosophical books. They think philosophers or those who study philosophy as a hobby or interest aren't from mainstream of society, but are people sitting ideal to read and interpret others who are participating in real activities of life besides being a subject of study for philosophers. May be they are right as one needs to keep some distance from his subject in order to give his verdict of his views in the given circumstances. ...

Mind is a privilege of Living Beings, its an indication of liveliness. It helps us to grasp our surrounding with the help of our senses. Whatever we perceive or understand is outcome of an illusion which is created by our mind . Data provided by our senses is manipulated by our mind according to his own philosophy or attitude. Even senses work under his guidelines, they work in confidence of mind. Eyes see what mind has instructed it to see, if eves have been instructed not to see an object or such an object doesn't exist at all for us to see, then eyes will simply refuse to find it around as if nothing as such exists before it. Spirituality, faith and positive thinking are ways to mend problems associated with mind. Once our mind learns these techniques its state of illusion is eliminated immediately. This world becomes a beautiful place to be around. Life seems good and happier than ever before , with all the games of life leading to a positive experience . Eyes too start see...

Satisfaction isn't an state of inactivity and calmness, where you don't perform any action and are reluctant towards your duties. If this is what you call satisfaction then what is lethargy? The satisfaction I'm referring above as an open secret to happiness in life is the one which one drives when he gets completely immersed in his actions. He gives his 100% to the job he is doing and is physically and mentally involved in its successful completion. This is the only thing that matters most to him. Now, after the job is over he has nothing to worry on his part as he did what he ought to do and was in his control and now is satisfied with his role. Result may or may not be favorable to him but it doesn't pinches him so hard. Why? It is simply because it is something beyond his control. He doesn't have any role in it and where he had a role to play he did everything that was possible for him to do. It isn't always possible for everyone of us to do things with a ...

Today health is a major concern in personal well-being . Whether we are student, professional, sportsman or any other human being, we are somewhere concerned about our health and state of our body. More or less this health phobia is a part of a marketing gimmick. There are a number of products that we use in our everyday life that play with your health, and then there are some other products in market to restore this health swing. We are so much influenced by these marketing strategies that today we have actually forgot what health and healthy body stands for. Health is no more a state of mind or body instead it is now look and feel of our body more to others than to our self. They tell us if our hair looks like this we should use this. If we feel tired after work take this. Although all of us know that it is natural to feel tired after hard work. But our suspicion that may be others don't feel this tiredness the way we are feeling makes us a soft target. Today we see a...

Man is the undisputed Leader of this planet earth and anything beyond control of his leadership is shunned. In last two centuries man has established his credentials on this planet and is now an undisputed leader. When we talk about the dangers to this planet what we actually mean is dangers faced by men on this planet earth. God or Nature created various forms of life on this planet and man has proved that he is the best. He now controls the other forms of life. These lives now need his permission in order to survive on this planet and man decides who will survive and who will not depending on his mood and preference. Few centuries ago every form of life had a right to survive. They followed there natural instinct. Every form of life had freedom and permission to do and act as per their wish, nobody actually controlled this land, sea and air. There was a healthy combination supporting coexistence of various forms of life. Nature was supreme and had sole authority. Then sudden...

Life is definitely a game of pleasure for some and a game of pain for others . Usually people who expect more and get in details of everything are people who are often inflicted with pain. There some situations and circumstances, which can never bring pleasure to anyone, while other common situations and circumstances that we come across in everyday life can, bring joy to some and distress to others. I tried to observe some people in real life with different views on life my first category was of the people who enjoyed life, they were happy and cheerful most of the time while second category of people were usually grim and were sad and pale most of the time. This second category usually considered themselves to be unfortunate, not that lucky and always at the receiving end for what they feel may be an outcome of there deeds in this life or previous one. The 1 st category or happy category never had a second view of anything they were simply enjoying everything they had and w...

Life is an infinite sow and reap loop . It is not something that I say but is evident for every one of us. It is just like a malfunctioning computer program which gets stuck in an infinite loop and requires immediate debugging. Most of us never realize that there is some problem with our program and it requires immediate debugging . People who are ignorant of this fact often wonder on the typical results that we continue to receive for a given set of inputs. Its dramatic. We keep changing quality and quantity of our inputs every now and then, in hope that we’ll see some improved results. After all we have studied GIGO i.e., Garbage In Garbage Out theory of Computer Science, but we seldom get our expected results in our life. A further analysis of this procedure leads us to the conclusion that we are not a skilled programmer or may be we lack proficiency in this particular coding language. In reality most of us are not even programmer leave aside skilled programmers. The f...
