Question

the conquest of happiness

Answer 1

Answer:

In adolescence, I hated life and was continually on the verge of suicide, from which, however, I was restrained by the desire to know more mathematics. Now, on the contrary, I enjoy life; I might almost say that with every year that passes I enjoy it more. This is due partly to having discovered what were the things that I most desired, and having gradually acquired many of these things. Partly it is due to having successfully dismissed certain objects of desire - such as the acquisition of indubitable knowledge about something or other — as essentially unattainable. But very largely it is due to a diminishing preoccupation with myself. Like others who had a Puritan education, I had the habit of meditating on my sins, follies, and shortcomings. I seemed to myself — no doubt justly — a miserable specimen. Gradually I learned to be indifferent to myself and my deficiencies; I came to centre my attention increasingly upon external objects: the state of the world, various branches of knowledge, individuals for whom I felt affection.

Answer:

Happiness is a feeling that can be felt when the things are going as you want. Every thing that is in your favour will definitely makes you feel happy. I think happiness is a sense of greed. As it happens more we want it to happen again and again. But as we are human beings it's our nature to want the things more which makes us feel happy so it is important for us as we feels better with a reason for happiness .

May God bless you with thousands of reasons for the happiness.
