Happiness

Pursuit of happiness

Many would recognize the phrase "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of happiness".

It is the most famous phrase from the United States declaration of independence. Interestingly, this phrase came from an English philosopher John Locke. In my pursuit of understanding "The Pursuit of Happiness", i read a vast number of articles from the Internet

 Now, to really understand the magnitude of this topic, i asked myself the below question if wish, you can also ask yourself questions.

1) How many hours you feel "happy" in a day?

2) Think of a person in abject poverty. How many hours do you think he feels "happy" in a day?

3) Think of a billionaire. How many hours do you think he feels "happy" in a day?

4) Think of a person you know, whom you think is happier than you?

5) Think of a person you know, whom you think is less happier than you?

6) What you want in your life, that will make you more happier than what you are now ?

Now, having asked yourself these questions. Its time to assess.

Its scientifically proven that happiness cant be measured. Happiness we perceive, when we eat an ice-cream is equivalent to the happiness we percieve on winning a lottery. So, why do we generally attribute winning lottery as ecstatic while eating an ice-cream as ordinary?

The Answer ---> The least the probability of occurrence of an event, the more it seems to bring "happiness". If you thought a billionaire is happier, think again! Every individual is as happy as anyone is. It is this pursuit of happiness that’s trivial and designed to keep our self engaged!!!!

Many of the scientific studies point to certain key areas that can strongly impact our "pursuit of happiness". These are:

1) Communicating,

2) Caring,

3) Sense of Accomplishments,

4) Sense of Importance.
