Happiness: Divine treasure...

Is there anyone on this beautiful planet that does not want to be happy? Those who consider themselveshappy, they want to be even more so, those who are not, they want to achieve happiness but many do not show it, so it is a universal need, a desire of all mankind, let's see if we find it.


I do a search on Google for the word happiness among the first results is the definition from Wikipedia: "Happiness is a state of mind that occurs when a person believes he has reached a desired goal and good.Such a state conducive inner peace, a positive environmental approach, while encouraged to conquer new goals. It's defined as an internal condition of satisfaction and joy."


If we look at other dictionaries or encyclopedias definitions are very similar, although if you look at the history are quite different views about it, as self-realization of the "eudaemonism" of Aristotle and Plato, except that the latter argues that happiness begins after the death, self-sufficiency for the "cynicism" and "stoicism" the intellectual and physical pleasure for "hedonism" and many other cultures and philosophies in their own way they will understand the meaning of happiness.

    The great philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell (1950's Nobel Prize for Literature) in his famous work "The Conquest of Happiness" postulates the causes of unhappiness in their opinion societies are undergoing, especially in developed countries, unlike most of writers and philosophers who address this issue, Russell does talk of what happiness is and how it is achieved by way of understanding life. Oncewe read in full the reasons for unhappiness are closely linked to excessive attachment to the artificialmaterial of this life, creating a series of negative feelings (competition, boredom, fatigue, envy, selfishness, dislikes and fears). Moreover, for him the secret of happiness is that "your interests be as wide as possibleand your reactions to things and persons that interest you are friendly and not hostile" attitude bringing us a series of positive feelings (enthusiasm, love, brotherhood, acceptance, satisfaction, self esteem, etc), so we understand that he does believe in the possibility of achieving happiness in this life, still focusing on the material character of the achievement of goals and objectives but with an attitude much more positive than usual.



    Now that we've documented, all leads to the inference that in most cases happiness is directly related to the achievement of some objective or goal ever seen from a purely material plane, which conditions us perpetually arrival of happiness is made subject to a specific circumstance that could give vent to that feeling. After reaching this goal will feel joy, but it is likely that a new target appears to cause a new concern to forget that joy (not happiness) is fast becoming the situation of continuous arrivals of goals and objectives in a maze with no exit.

    I think everyone should keep in mind that people not only do we compose of the material that can register our five senses, there is something more, something ethereal full of energy that is our soul or spirit. Experience about it and know no fear our immaterial part does change the way we live and understand life in the material plane. Feel within us, care for and love causes us to be open to the universe and get to know things that our senses provide us with material ever. Therefore we must maintain a balance between happiness that we can make the achievement of objectives in our material life and happiness gives us the inside knowledge of our non-material and the connection it provides us with the wisdom of the universe, feeling love will fill our hearts and we will apply a positive in everything we perform in this life, obtaining better results in everything we do.

    So do not leave again, you make the decision, the pages of the book you write your life and decide to be happy from now, be want to be, put love in everything you do, use your faith and willpower we talked about in previous entries. Happiness is a decision, that decision is to maintain power.

    Thank you very much for reading my words.
