Kenneth: Is this saying really true I have
experienced much pain, sadness and sufferings before I find true happiness.
I believe it’s true that we have to go through pain and suffering to be
happy. I think everybody would agree that if we want something, we have to work
for it. It feels good to look back at the things you’ve gone through when you
finally got what you wanted. If we worked hard and achieve something, we feel
happy. Andrea: Happiness for me is when I feel loved
by those I love.., there arc a few persons who can make me feel high for days
when they tell me sweet words, compliments, etc.., or just show they care about
me as much as I do about them. Happiness is also when I don’t worry, when I know
that the persons I love are alive, healthy and ok. And it is when I have hope
about something I wish to come true.., hope is
important. Thomas: In a world like this, where there
is no kind of’ stability, no possibility of anything lasting, but where
everything is thrown into a restless whirlpool of change, where everything
hurries on, flies, and is maintained in the balance by a continual advancing and
moving, it is impossible to imagine happiness. It cannot dwell where, as Plato
says, continual Becoming and never Being is all that takes
place. Robinson: I believe and agree that happiness is
based on disposition on the position, it’s internally based not external.
It’s how you look up on things, not how things is working on for you.
Happiness is a gift, you must accept to receive it. It’s a state or feelings of
pride ,joy, contentment, love and the like or a combination of one or all of
this feeling. Lastly, I believe it varies on each person receiving or
experiencing it, depending on how they express, explain or realize the feelings
of bappiness within them. Barbara: The rich are not
likely to be happier than the middle income group or even those with very low
incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier titan those
who didn’t graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly
because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a
high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same
income and no college education. Now match each of the
persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are
two extra statements. Statements [A] Happiness is attained only when
in a state of steadiness and stillness. [B] Happiness derives from your
satisfaction in life. [C] Happiness is an attitude toward life and how you
feel about life. [D] The more opportunities you can control your lives, the
happier you may be. [E] No pains, no gains. [F] Happiness is achieved only
when you are healthy. [G] You feel happy when you love and are loved. Barbara
