Happiness - Preface (1)A Chapter by A.r. BazianPreface (1)
To begin with, i would first "will" myself to allow it to demonstrate and explain a few things from where I'm standing. Now, there is the difference between satisfaction and happiness, and the way they relate to each other. First, comes the feeling of sufficiency, as its thought to be "When you get what you need", then comes the point of relative satisfaction, "When you get what you want". But then again, "Can you get what you want, without getting what you need?", "Do you feel, or relate to Satisfaction if you do?", in another case, "lets just assume you got what you need, can/will you then be satisfied?", in a different situation, "if you get both what you want And what you need, that’s reaching Satisfaction, can you feel, sense, or practice happiness?", on the other hand, "can you reach happiness and not be satisfied?", and "what is happiness?"
To limit, restrain, or corner the vast concept or sense of happiness and explaining it is an impossible task, I owe this part to a friend, you see… each one has their own needs, their own dreams, their own finger print that they leave all over the model they've designed of their happy satisfied life, which separates these models and make them usually stand out apart! "How can you reach a unified concept of all-compatible happiness, unless it was general, and virtual?". Well, to accept the path one must take, and perhaps struggle to see/reach it, and then travel along this path away to the essence of his real sensed happiness, through which one is to reach it, both my friend and I seem to agree, needs to first find one's true self. I said, Needs, not Must, because I noticed that any road only always seems longer when you don’t know where you're going, sooner or later, one Must realize one's truth, in other words, find one's self. That’s if one's aim was true personal happiness. It is troubling at the beginning but might save at least much time, and effort going along that road. Instead of going a some and turning back half way to the end on each, I suggest one must find one's own road, through one's own self!
Through this is many a wonder, the questions, the facts you start to learn about yourself, about others. A very tiring journey, it only takes a life time though, and its "fun", now another question strikes, we've been mumbling since the dawn of mankind about the importance of truth, only (as I recall) Nietzsche ever questioned the importance of truth, "… yet again, why is the truth so important?", thus goes down the drain the idea of true happiness, lets just stick to whatever feels Right or Good, or maybe even Satisfying. But no, I do will the thought of Truth to be Important, I want and need an answer. So I do go back to the point of satisfying what I want and need, at first basis, it gets me closer to what I call happiness… knowing my true self. But after all it might be a matter of personal opinion, true happiness… "do I need happiness to be satisfied or do I need satisfaction to be happy?", put in another frame, " is happiness a need? Or a target?" I think… here… I can start! © 2008 A.r. BazianAuthor's Note
