PHILOSOPHICAL GUIDE TO ACHIEVE HAPPINESS

I  have  not written any thing in my blog  for quite some time  My friend Qamar Beg asked me why i have not written anything  for such a long time . Well  the  reason was that i did not   know on what subject  i should write. Then one day i asked myself , am i happy ?  The answer was that in  real sense  no .  I  then started    observing friends  laughing ,joking , playing their favorite games 
i wondered whether  people who look  superficially happy   are  really happy.  Therefore, i  decided that i  need to  study and write a series of articles on  anatomy of happiness incorporating    conventional  wisdom about how to achieve happiness  as well as the ancient  and  immortal thoughts   of six philosophers  on   how to achieve happiness .

Every one  wants  to  be  happy. .According to Aldous Huxley  , happiness is not achieved by the conscious persuit of happiness ;it is generally by-product of other activities.
 The conventional wisdom is that a person is happy if  he is contended with  what he has,  has  a well adjusted  matrimonial life , has  well behaved children , enjoys job satisfaction , has a strong faith in his religion , meets his obligation to his parents, brothers,sisters and his fellow human being. which  leads him to have peace of mind which bring happiness. 

Lust for money, greed , material wealth , envy , social climbing  do not bring happiness   but  are the main causes of brining miseries in once life.

  Happiness, however , is just like a butterfly , it is difficult   to catch it , you  catch it and if you hold it for long time it dies and if  you let it loose  it flies away from you..

The philosophies of following  six thinkers who have influenced history, and their ideas about the pursuit of the happy life  as guide to achieve is  given below.

Socrates on Self-Confidence  – Why do so many people go along with the crowd and fail to stand up for what they truly believe? Partly because they are too easily swayed by other people’s opinions and partly because they don’t know when to have confidence in their own. We tend to accept that people in authority must be right. It is this assumption that Socrates wanted us to challenge by urging us to think logically about the nonsense they often come out with, rather than being struck dumb by their aura of importance and air of suave certainty.

Epicurus on Happiness   The personal implications of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270BCE) who was no epicurean glutton or wanton consumerist, but an advocate of “friends, freedom and thought” as the path to happiness.

Seneca on Anger– Roman philosopher Lucious Annaeus Seneca (4BCE-65CE), the most famous and popular philosopher of his day, took the subject of anger seriously enough to dedicate a whole book to the subject. Seneca refused to see anger as an irrational outburst over which we have no control. Instead he saw it as a philosophical problem and amenable to treatment by philosophical argument.

Montaigne on Self-Esteem  – Looks at the problem of self-esteem from the perspective of Michel de Montaigne (16th Century), the French philosopher who singled out three main reasons for feeling bad about oneself – sexual inadequecy, failure to live up to social norms, and intellectual inferiority – and then offered practical solutions for overcoming them.

Schopenhauer on Love  The survey of  the 19th Century German thinker Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) who believed that love was the most important thing in life because of its powerful impulse towards ‘the will-to-life’.

Nietzsche on Hardship   The understanding of  Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) dictum that any worthwhile achievements in life come from the experience of overcoming hardship. For him, any existence that is too comfortable is worthless, as are the twin refugees of drink or religion.:
