Change of Happiness Meaing-Rylie
When I was first asked to describe what happiness meant to me, I said that it was a state of mind that couldn't be filled with material objects but rather emotions, and I listed off some specific emotions that would make someone happy. Although I still believe that material items cannot make someone happy, only content with what they have until they find something else they want or "need", I think the way in which people become happy are unique to that individual. Different people give and recieve emotions that make them happy. Not all people will become happy with being confident, not all people will be happy with being respected. Its certain emotions and feelings between people which make them happy. I still believe from the beginning that love will gain happiness. Even though I have always had this idea that happiness was emotions and not objects, I have grown in my knowledge of it and built off of that to really be able to specify what happiness is.

I usually think of happiness as an emotion; and I find your description of happiness as something created by emotions interesting. What is the difference between these two perpectives?
ReplyDeleteAlso, if the emotions that lead to happiness vary from person to person, do the causes of these emotions vary from person to person? Are there any causes of happiness we all share?
