...Phenomenological Reflection Paper Phenomenology of Happiness What can make one person happy might not have the same effect on another. With this, it is difficult to find the perfect recipe for happiness. However what is true is that happiness is the one thing that people do not tire of. We continue searching for happiness even if we know that we will eventually tire of what provides it, and we will have to search all over again. For thousands of years, human behaviour has largely been about and driven by the pursuit of happiness. Even if we have not yet understood its complete nature up to now, we still continuously look for it. This unending pursuit is an evidence of how important happiness is to us. Happiness is a positive feeling and it is quite contagious. On the surface, it can be defined by a heartfelt laugh, a smiling face, or even a touching tear. Often times when we hear laughter, we associate it with happiness Whether you know the person who is laughing or not, you know that person’s laughter is a very strong indication of his or her happiness. This is also true when we see a smile, or when we witness tears of joy. It is often hard not to be at least quite affected by the happiness of another person. A person who is dear to you may express his happiness through stories that he will tell you and you in turn will be glad for him, and possibly for few moments, you may even forget your own worries and just join him in this feeling of elation.

...on Happiness 20 September 2013 Happiness Depends on Ourselves Happiness; the quality or state of being happy, having good fortune, pleasure and/or joy. That is what “happiness” is defined by Dictionary.com LLC. If that was the definition of the word, I would be done with this paper and I would be hitting print as we speak. Unfortunately it is not that simple to slap a universal definition to this word, or any word rather. The author of Stumbling on Happiness, Daniel Gilbert, attempts to define the word. With several factors being put into play such as the measuring of happiness, different memories and different feelings can vary Gilbert’s definition from mine. Writing a book with 263 pages based on the topic of happiness, Gilbert shows us his own definition of the word relatively early, “Happiness, then, is the you-know-what-I-mean feeling” (35). Do I even have to explain his quote? Because according to Gilbert we already “know what he means”. On the serious note, Gilbert is trying to make a point that it is extremely difficult to describe this word. He goes on to say that if we were to try and describe this word, we would most likely ditch the idea of using a definition and try and describe it by pointing out examples of what makes us happy. Well then if you go down that route, you are already looking at millions of different possibilities of what makes people happy. You can see why it is so difficult for Gilbert because everyone in this world is made completely different...

The interview went as follows…. Me: What is your definition of happiness? Jared: I guess the definition would be to be being at peace with yourself and being at peace with who you are and where you are emotionally and mentally. Me: What makes you happy in life? Jared: A loud 375 hp Trans am with the top down (chuckling), being with a good woman. Me: Would you consider yourself to be a happy person, why or why not? Jared: No, some things make me happy, but still struggle with inner demons and I think too much most of the time. Me: Do you think you will ever get past your inner demons and be happy again? Jared: Yea, just personal things I have to deal with, my personal demons cannot be fixed, they are in the past and you can’t always change the past. Me: What experiences have influenced your definition of happiness? Jared: No real experiences, it is just what I think happiness is. Me: Has your definition of happiness changed over time? Jared: Yes, ten years ago I was just happy to have another party to go to, but now I see it is more about being at peace with yourself. Me: Do you expect the definition to change again? Jared: I am sure it probably will. The second person I decided to interview was someone I know very well, my Mom. She is 48 years old and she was a single...

...Because I can't see anything to be unhappy about my life. I don't seek more for happiness. I had developed the capacitiy to enjoy less. I have very few but precious people in my life. I most likely to appear as a timid person but deep inside me, I'm happy. My life is not perfect. I am not perfect. But happiness is about the acceptance of what you already have. If the simple things in life don't put a smile on my face then I will never be truly happy. First thing's first. Who am I? I'd say I'm a typical teenage girl who have just enough craps that I decided to smile and just be happy. I know myself better than anyone else. I can go on a day without talking to anyone. Just me, myself, and I. Not talking to anyone is schematic. I keep things for myself and no one can destroy my reputation for I don't talk. If people call me, I'd turn to them and smile even if it against me. It would be a shame if I don't react on people addressing me but more likely I wouldn't care that much. I don't like being in the spotlight though I accept merits. I like putting my profile low. I don't dream of becoming anything or anyone else other than being me. I can be fake at most times making it look like I have a high self-esteem even if I don't. I have a very selfish sense of myself and that's just me. I am happy that way. My social self depends on who I am. I am a daughter following my parents' creed. I am a sister to inspire my siblings. I am a student studying hard to learn and graduate on...

...Personal Response Paper to Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler’s: Inner Contentment It is possible for one to be happy if they could not have everything they wanted and had to accept what they were given? There are many desires for things one can and cannot obtain. These desires can be good, useful, or cause problematic issues. They can lead to greed which can lead to people expecting too much in life. Even if one can obtain what they want, they may still not be happy. That brings the concept back to whether people can be happy even if they cannot have everything? Materialistic things do not fulfill peoples’ lives and are only representing temporary happiness, satisfaction, and pleasure. Eventually it runs out and the depression and lost feelings return, leaving one wondering what to buy next to fulfill that void. In Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler’s essay on Inner Contentment, they argue whether it is possible to have inner contentment. Inner contentment is not expecting things that can make one happy, but being happy with whatever is given, without expecting more. Life is just and everyone cannot have everything they want, they have to deal with what has been given and live life. In the essay, Lama and Cutler state that “The true antidote of greed is contentment” (1002). What they were trying to say was that no matter what one has, one can still be content and happy. They argue that there are two ways to be content which are: to obtain everything one wants and desires, but eventually...

...and learning new things successfully. Happiness is being joyful and blissful with what is going on in the current situation and life. Bing happy is being satisfied and knowing joy in your life. I am a happy person in general, and with my current situation in life I am also flourishing. A person who is just flourishing and not happy is a person with a goal in mind and not so worried about happiness on the way. The best example of someone flourishing and not happy is going to be my very handsome cousin Derry. He is driven and flourishing in a large way, running two businesses. But not really worried about being happy over being successful. There is another example of someone who is happy but not flourishing. My ex-husband seems to be happy, but is not going anywhere in life, no drive, no way to move forward unless he tries. To everyone else he seems to be happy with where he is in life. No need to move forward, just satisfied with the situation at hand. I think the best example of someone who is both happy and flourishing is a child that is growing in a happy healthy environment with a loving family and the encouragement to grow in whatever way they need to. It’s always been known that children flourish in happy healthy environments. The difficult part is to learn to take all this with us as we grow and be able to remain happy and healthy and grow in all aspects of our...

...In the articles “Do You Have What It Takes To Be Happy” by Stacey Colino and “The Happiness Factor” by David Brooks, both authors give insights on happiness, how to be happy, and where happiness comes from. Colino mainly talks about how having a healthy self-esteem, a sense of optimism, gratifying relationships, and meaning and purpose in your life have the most influence on your happiness. Brooks talks about how money, fame, and wealth shouldn’t make us happy. However, both Brooks and Colino express that happiness comes from your inner self, and what you surround yourself with, not materialistic things. First of all, Brooks views on happiness differs from Stacey Colino. Brooks feels happiness comes from relationships with people, and not money. He brought up a good example with the famous actress Sandra Bullock. She won the Academy Award for best actress in 2010. Then news reports came out that her and her husband had a divorce. He was an “adulterous jerk.” Brooks stated that if you have a unsuccessful marriage or relationship, it does not matter what career achievements you have, you will remain unhappy. According to Brooks, countries with high social trust have happier people, better health, and more efficient government. Furthermore, Stacey Colino states basically how to be happy and what steps to take. She gives different ideas on how to be happy, for example, develop an upbeat attitude, hang out with your favorite people, etc. Stacey views happiness with what you...

...Achieving Happiness Being “Happy” is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions raging from contentment to intense joy described on a dictionary. I often ask myself what makes me happy? Is it having fun? Is it being just happy stress free? Having a family? Maybe it is being rich, intelligent, and good looking? Or is it when you have good position on a job with a title such Manager, Supervisor, or maybe being the President of a major company or corporation? We all were happy and sad in life. We had lost lives, faith, hopes, and the list goes on and on. Each individual has different set of views when it comes to this issue of being happy because for me personally at this time of uncertainty; I would probably be happy if I achieve a goal or a dream such graduating from a university then hired for a job that guarantees a life safety. But, sometimes it difficult to figure out what we have to do in life to attain happiness. We would agree that the majority of people around the glove have a happy life, if not life would be a misery. Then why people commit suicide? I had known couple people in my family and friends that committed suicide. It is an experience you simply can’t forget as you feel their pain, anger and regrets when you hear their stories. But why they had to take their precious life? It is a question I ask myself on daily basis since I am not happy or satisfy with my current stage of life; however I wouldn’t take my life since...

And when he came back, the tree was so happy she could hardly speak. "Come, Boy," she whispered, "come and play." "I am too old and sad to play," said the boy. "I want a boat that will take me far away from here. Can you give me a boat?" "Cut down my trunk and make a boat," said the tree. "Then you can sail away... and be happy." And so the boy cut down her trunk and made a boat and sailed away. And the tree was happy ... but not really. And after a long time the boy came back again.
