“Happiness”

Happiness means a feeling of satisfaction, comfort and pleasure. This is the fundamental right of man to be happy. The present period of human life has become so complex that men and women look awfully busy in their work. Even the weekends which are meant for physical and mental relaxation are busy.

As life is not a “bed of roses” in the present period life has become so mechanical that men and women look worried and tense during their work. Most of the time they are busy day and night in their work and as a result they become strangers for each other. In the modern world everyone wishes to become richer than they need to be but they have to pay a high price for it.

Russell in his “ Cause of unhappiness ” states those factors which are responsible for our unhappiness. These factors are a mixture of psychological, social and economical factors. There are certain causes which can make our life happy if they are consciously and wisely.

Zest of life is the most important factor. Without zest our life would be barren and drab. A man who has zest for life can enjoy the worst situation and adverse circumstances. Russell says in his book that “ Loss of zest in modern age is due to the restriction upon liberty. ”

The feeling that one is not loved also can make our life an unhappy and irritable experience. This feeling can make a person sad and melancholic. The solution of his problem is to give love and affection to society and receive affection in return.

Further more family values are also essential. Family is an integral part of society. In foreign countries we see family disintegration is very common. A man is called a “

Social Animal ” so he has to live in a family. Family values and relationships make our life.

As where excessive work or mechanical life is the cause of our un happiness, on the other hand excess leisure is also the cause of un happiness in life. Most rich people feel extreme boredom in their luxurious life. So to make our life happy and worth living one must adopt some work or activity according to his interest.

Moreover, “ Fatigue ” is the factor of un happiness in this connection.“ Never fatigue ” is most important which brings un happiness in our life. The cause of fatigue is unnecessary tension and worries. So ordinary troubles should be avoided which can make our life hell.

Furthermore, maintaining peace of mind is essential to true happiness. When we allow small problems or daily inconveniences to steal our calm, we give them the power to disturb our emotional balance. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, we must train our minds to notice what’s still right. Gratitude for even the simplest things — like health, shelter, a loved one’s smile, or a kind word — can lift us out of mental exhaustion and renew our energy for life. Happiness grows when we shift our mindset from complaints to contentment.

In addition, positive habits such as regular exercise, healthy sleep, and mindful breathing help in reducing fatigue and boosting our mood. When we take care of our body, our mind responds with greater clarity and joy. Avoiding toxic relationships, limiting screen time, and engaging in meaningful hobbies also play a major role in building a happy life. Ultimately, happiness is not found in wealth or luxury, but in a well-balanced lifestyle where our body and mind are in harmony with our goals and values.

Thus happiness is possible in this world. It is up to us how we make our life happy. To make our life happy we need balance in life. Moreover, we should have confidence in ourselves that we can create happiness, out of any kind of circumstances and problems, by overcoming our worries. As “ Mark Twain ” says that:

“ Happiness is a Swedish sunset—it is there for all but most of us look the other way and lose it.”
