Philosophy of Happiness in Life

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 We Really Love Anyone? I hope you've already read the last post ' Philosophy of Love Vs Philosophy of Lust '. I know that it is easy to read but it is not always easy to study. Study requires attentive reading which further need calmness. The love is actually a natural phenomenon, a formless object like happiness. We believe that love is guided by appearance and how we are treated but actually love is over and above these things. It is beyond any expectation or promise. I think we are at fault when we misunderstand lust as love. Lust is a inferior quality of love, which has a number of limitations, and is frequently encountered in day to day life. Do we really love anyone? Like nature. I don't know who you love but if there is love (not lust) in any life, and it is really love then I don't think there are any regrets left in this life, as love is the essence of life. We can love anyone or anything it can be a purpose, a job, a work, a person, an activit...

Philosophy of Love Vs Philosophy of Lust Love and lust are easily interchanged these days. Commonly most people cannot even see any major difference between the two. Common thinking is love is followed by lust or lust is followed by love or both of them mean one and the same thing except the fact that one (love) is a polite way to express another (lust). Anyway, what is to follow is a post that I found on Sadhak Group at Yahoo (which means I am just a medium and not the source). I hope you'll enjoy reading this post on Philosophy of Love Versus Philosophy of Lust . Love versus Lust Worldly people due to their ignorance, do not understand the true nature of Love. They regard lust to be the same as Love. Lust is seen in most beings, especially more so in evil people, devils, demons, fiends, animals etc. Only the liberated Souls are capable of true Love. 1. In lust both parties want to receive something from the other, while in Love, a devotee (lover) wants to offer every...

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...

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...
