Philosophy of Happiness in Life

Internet is a formless object, a virtual world with a number of concurrent philosophies surviving on it. Its impacting our society in more then one way which is giving birth to a new philosophy ' A Philosophy of Internet '.  Today internet is a necessity tomorrow it can be a vital part of society, as it will be a home to a number of societies which will have no real existence in real world. Internet or web can have a number of definitions. Its a technological innovation, its a communication technology, its a workplace, a place of entertainment, a place to relax, a place to find solutions, a place where community interacts, a place of research, a place to flirt, a place to earn living . Internet today is a complex place, it has many followers most of them are internet addicts who cannot leave even a day or hour without it. Internet is a convenient medium to fulfill our desires, its a virtual reality with connections to real world. We can be happy or sad with what we see, rea...

Positive thinking can be improved with hypnosis or in other words we can say we learn hypnosis with positive thinking . Hypnosis is an art to develop power of our thoughts to such an extent that they start influencing our life and its surroundings directly. I don't think of hypnosis as a black art, something which is anti-social because it is not. It is an art of calming our thoughts to such an extent that thoughts cease to exist and when a person is able to calm his/her thoughts to this level he/she can easily concentrate on a single object, a single thought. Hypnosis, positive thinking and philosophy can lead more happiness in our life , we can achieve more with our limited resources with a calm mind. Our life isn't a mission, a company to get more market share and profits, a machine to get more output, life is easy and cool and every body has a right to survive . This is not just a positive view of life, a philosophy but the real meaning of life. If we can understand a...

Philosophy is a logical interpretation of moral values . It is an interconnection of moral and logic, combining moral values with logic or we can say that philosophy is a logical conclusion of moral values. Philosophy without moral is a vehicle without engine to drive, logic behind the philosophy is the fuel which drives it in motion. In today's environment where moral value and philosophy is looked down as being old fashioned, unscientific theories which do not have any place in today's fast paced societies. This is what most of us who lead a busy life in modern comfortable world think, the actual people who form this society at large. In this article 'Logical Philosophy of Moral Values' I'm not talking to libraries, universities, students of philosophy and a few intellectuals who already know more than what I ever think of knowing, for them philosophy is still a contemporary subject of there lives, they live with this philosophy as a subject and object, but ...

Everything that happens in our life plays an important role in shaping our future and present. Difficulties and problems too have a positive as well as negative aspect on our life . They also act as a calibrating tool, a rating system of our life. Big players face bigger problems and small players face small problem but each one of them sees and treats them in somewhat similar fashion. Every difficult situation or problem that we solve or cross successfully increases our individual ranking in life and adds to our list of achievements in life besides boosting our confidence level and morale to tackle such situation in future. DIFFICULTIES AND PROBLEMS ARE NOT FORCED BUT NATURAL Life is a continuous process, a journey. The moment we cease to move with life is the moment life ceases to exist. Look at non-living objects, life less things around us, they don't react to anything, they are not perturbed with changing environment, degrading situations because life isn't supported wi...

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...

Honesty Is Our Natural Choice   The truth needs so little rehearsal.  ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams Honesty is a natural choice, its natural to be honest. We love to be honest and praise those who love honesty. Even today nothing has changed when it comes to natural human choice, we try to suppress this natural inclination by giving a number of justification to our own self and to those who ask us why? Today when nature is distancing itself from us, we have a number of issues with nature such as global warming, protection from Sunshine (we have teared the Natural Protecting System called Ozone), endangered species, pollution in air, water and food. Along with these we have also polluted or natural thinking process, we no more believe in nature the way we used to, today we love (or pretend to love) artificial, processed, covered things, whether its new, views, water, food or even air. We can't drink untreated water as we fear pollutants, so is the case with other th...

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...
