Happiness, Happiness And Happiness In The Pursuit Of Happiness

All human actions gravitate toward certain goals as a blessing. Actions and goals are subject to some goal, or the last good, about which everyone agrees, that it is happiness.

The concept of happiness

"For many people happiness is a pleasure, but life, wasted for pleasure, is a slavish life worthy of an animal. For others, happiness is honors, glory. However, glory is external, depending on appropriations and recognition. For someone, happiness is the multiplication of wealth, and there is one of the most absurd purposes – life, which is contradicted to nature, because the wealth is a means for something else, and as a goal does not make sense" .

The highest happiness is to be improved as a person; in the activity that distinguishes a man

On the contrary, it should be measured by that thing, which is immortal, making everything available to live in accordance with the noblest part in us, the smallest, perhaps in size, but the most valuable in strength and superior to all others. Animals are not involved in the concept of happiness because they are deprived of this ability. Only man has happiness insofar as he is able to achieve such an activity of contemplation. Therefore, as far as contemplation extends, so happiness extends.

The right goal is a good life

There are certain things that we do, just to live: food, caring for our body and health supporting. For the sake of this, most people have to work to have money to buy food, clothes and shelter.

There are other things that we do to live well. We make efforts to get education, believing that knowledge beyond what is needed enriches our lives. We don’t need the pleasure to survive, but no doubt, they make our life better.

Just life and good life have goals for which we need to find means. But simply life, or survival, is a means for a good life. It is impossible to live well without staying alive for as long as possible.

But the means for what purpose is a good life? There is no answer to this question, Aristotle said, because "a good life is an end in itself; we are not aiming for it for the sake of anything else"
