Best Happiness Quotes Biography

This past week, while people were celebrating (or not celebrating) Valentine’s Day, an oddly-coupled pair of news items emerged pertaining to research on happiness.
A multi-country survey concluded that partners are the main source of happiness: nearly two-thirds of couples say their partner is the most important source of happiness in their lives. However, a study in New Zealand found that widows and widowers are among the happiest people who have tied the knot (particularly women). So, what are to conclude from this? Are people happy because of their spouses? Or, are people happier after their spouses die?
The trick is in how people define happiness to begin with. When someone asks you, “How happy are you, on a scale of 1-10?” your answer will depend on at least three things:
1) Mood. Have you had a good week? A good day?
2) Physical state. Are you tired? Are you in pain? Are you hungry? (A 2011 study showed that whether or not a judge is hungry affects court rulings. I sympathize: I am much more forgiving towards others when my belly’s full.)
3) Definition of happiness. What do you think happiness is? If you think that happiness means being in a committed marriage, then that’s the yardstick that you will measure by when someone asks you, “How happy are you?” If you think that happiness means having freedom to do what you want, then you’ll think about how much autonomy you have. If you think that happiness is having fulfilled obligations to others, then you’ll think about whether you’ve done that. If you think happiness is having enough food to eat, you’ll think about whether you have had enough to survive. As you assess your own happiness, it’s inevitably against some standard of what you think happiness consists of.
So, the number that you end up giving to the survey taker (“Um, a 7? A 5?”) really depends on how you define happiness in the first place.
We know that definitions of happiness can be rather different. Georgetown sociologist Jose Casanova has observed some of these differences: In American life, the pursuit of happiness is thought as an individual “pursuit”—defined as something that is the moral duty of each individual to pursue actively. In contrast, Immanuel Kant speaks of “making ourselves worthy of happiness”—as if happiness is not something we attain or achieve, but rather a gift we receive. Then, there’s also Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu) and his idea that “Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.”

Best Happiness Quotes Biography

Happiness is a difficult emotion or state of mind that is hard to define. It is exceptionally difficult because every person on earth has a varying view on happiness and not all these views may be the same. So what makes an individual's life completed with happiness? Happiness should be understood as something that satisfies the person's abilities. If he or she is doing something that satisfies him or herself, then he or she achieves happiness. If he or she achieves happiness, then that equates to a balance of pleasure, honor, and self-sufficiency (574-575). I believe Aristotle's theory of happiness is precise in arguing that happiness is achieved when the principles or virtues of an individual is completed to the fullest potential and he or she is content. Men undoubtedly live the "best life" relative to him by achieving happiness when they follow their own virtues and live out those virtues by displaying them to its fullest potential.
Aristotle was an interesting individual who possessed profound and rational thinking skills. He was a man who believed that following virtues meant achieving happiness for oneself. What were these virtues of life that Aristotle spoke about? Aristotle, in "Nicomachean Ethics" says "men... seem to identify the good, or happiness, with pleasure... further, men seem to pursue honour in order that they may be assured of their goodness." (574-575). Aristotle argues that men define an ideal life by achieving happiness, and this can be done by living life to its full potential, by having a balance of moral excellence and righteousness in society. But he says that boys can neither be happy or unhappy, for the primary reason that they have not lived a complete life.
It is basically a sense of feeling, a feeling that if he or she performed the best he or she could possibly do, he or she will be living their virtues to its fullest potential thus will be content with life. Life will equate to happiness if a person is able to live out their virtues. He says men and pleasure are connected, which men enjoy a life filled with pleasure and also with minimal distress. Still, a life may involve many different paths of pain and still be a life of happiness. Happiness is not defined by the amount of pleasure but a combination of pleasure and pains that men go through their lives. Aristotle also proclaims that men should live moderately, for example, having a balance of kindness means do not be exceptionally kind to others and do not beg for kindness. Aristotle says, "...but honour, pleasure, reason, and every virtue we choose indeed for themselves... we choose them also for the sake of happiness.... for the final good is thought to be self-sufficient" (575). That is, people should supply one's own needs without any outside sources helping them but the only key thing is to try your best and that will be good enough. That will be happiness.
The final good, Self-sufficiency, is not restricted to oneself, but rather, extends to "parents, children, wife, and in general for his friends and fellow citizens" (575). Perhaps men were born unhappy, but are destined in their own rights to pursuit this happiness. Aristotle says that this happiness is attainable in all men, even the most "vulgar" men. "Happiness, then, is something final and self-sufficient, and is the end of action," a life cannot be filled with happiness until once it ends, therefore, we can also assume that death gives us happiness (575).
Aristotle's definition of happiness is one that involves self-fulfillment, regardless of how life is liven, a man's pursuit of happiness is one that he lives to its utmost potential until death. But it should not be forgotten that life should be a balance of moral excellence, by following one's own virtue and not following the norm. The pursuit of happiness can be identifiable in all men whether it consists of pleasure and painful paths, even the most outrageous men are in pursuit of happiness. Men are thought to have to be self-sufficient with their virtues in life and that men should accomplish this by living moderately.
