In search of happiness
Thu 5 Jul 2007Filed Under: Wisdom
The search for the meaning of life is also the search for happiness? Lots of people have written about it and come to some of conclusion like that anyway. (It’s definitely not 42.) Happiness may mean having all material possessions you desire or maybe to be the richest man on the planet it may also mean seeing the Loch Ness monster or having a loving family. But are the intangible measurements such as love and as economists say ‘utility’ bring about everlasting happiness? Where does religion fit in? Or perhaps something you’ve never considered doing before the key to happiness? Indeed is your personal happiness less important than world happiness? Is the search for happiness a metaphor for progress?
