When one thinks of happiness, different ideas
usually come to mind. The definition of happiness differs from person to person
depending on his or her life. Happiness to a person living in the streets can
differ from happiness to a person living in a mansion. For example, the person
living in the streets would probably think happiness would be living in a house
with working water and air conditioning. His or her happiness would probably
focus more on materialistic items, whereas for the person living in the mansion
would probably be working a job that they like or enjoying their family.
The question that is asked when
talking about happiness is, “What is happiness to those that have everything
they want and need?” Happiness, technically, cannot be bought with thousands of
cash; it is obtained through life experiences. A person who has an amazing job
and everything a person can ever dream of would eventually get depressed. Materialistic
items “life span” has a time limit to it. Happiness can be achieved by just enjoying
the aspects of life that the person has. If someone is married but is
financially struggling, one would think that they are barely happy; however, their
happiness can be seen behind the scenes rather than on the “front screen”. It
is for sure that the couple would be going through some rough times due to the
fact that they’re financially struggling, but the reason why they can find
happiness is because of each other.
The point is that no matter the
struggle, happiness can be found in the most unpredictable situations. Even a
homeless man can find happiness in the smallest gestures. As human beings, each
and every person should try spreading happiness to one another in a hard living
world that we all live in. A simple gesture from a smile to a simple “Hello”
can improve a person’s life and could dramatically change his or her life.
I agree with you. Happiness can be found just about anywhere. However, what do you do when the happiness you want is something you can't have? What do you do when your hearts desire is just out of arms reach? I say where happiness is important, survival and peace of mind still stand higher. But you did make good points.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing is that just because you can happy doesn't mean that will keep you healthy. Now I means this on a spiritual, social, mental, and physical level. Sometimes that thing that is making you so happy is also the one thing that is slowly bringing your life to a crashing end. Happiness is not the most important thing in this world. I personally believe its being remembered. None of us will be here forever that's why I rather be remembered. Once I am gone don't all the evidence of my existence to slowly fade away. But if there a way for me to be remembered, not send myself spiraling down, and be then sign me up for that option.
