The Degree Of Happiness

                                       

The article by a British philosopher, Betrand Athur William Russell had make us realized how happiness being defined in our community. As the title itself, ‘The Degree of Happiness’ , shows that there is intermediate degrees in happiness which make them defined and classified in some sort of way. The word happiness mean mental state if well-being by positive emotions that intense to joy. Not  everyone in the world is born with a sunny disposition, but experts agree that we can learn how to bring more meaning and satisfaction into our life. Well, I guess we all are familiar with how people thinking and their own perception. We have that mind thinking in our community. The different level of lifestyle, position and also education, always being the factors to people to derive someone’s happiness. In our society itself always synonym to label that poor people are less happy while the rich people enjoying the happiness with full of excitement. This kind of mind set sometimes have to be an open eye to some kind of people as there are many true life story that proved their perception is totally wrong. For example, let’s see towards education and the standard of living. In poor family, their children always be the one who well success in education compared to the rich family. This is because in their mind, they need to study and success to help and change the family’s life. They will put an effort to achieve this. Can you imagine how happy the parents are? While compared to rich family side, the children know they can easily get what they want from their parents. So they won’t even bother to put an effort to achieve an extra ordinary achievement. On the other hand, they not only being pampered, thus those pleasure and comfort that they have are always being misused. So, indirectly it is for sure will give trouble to the parents somehow. In the nut shell, from my point of view, it is does not really matter one’s intellectual and position in life can guarantee their happiness. There is no accurate perception on this.

Happiness lies in joys of achievement and thrill of creative efforts. :)
