What is the definition of happiness? |
|
A sad person doesn't equal happiness. A happy person doesn't equal sadness. But a happy person cannot make the rest of the world happy, nor can a sad person make the rest of the world sad. Was Hitler a happy or a sad person? Was Napoleon a happy or a sad person? Was Khomeini a happy or a sad person? Was Sharon a happy or a sad person? Was Walt Disney a happy or a sad person? Was Bill Gates a happy or a sad person? These are six extremely interesting characters that made a big difference for their nations and for the world.
Some of you will be extremely aggressive answering these questions, and some of you will be emotionally taken by answering these questions. But if we try together to find the definition of happiness we'll be more logical in answering these questions.
Happiness equals inner peace, faith, success, love, sacrifice, beliefs, wealth, and health? Or does happiness equal totally the opposite?
Take a deep breath and take it easy on yourself and think of the following:
Angry people do not want to stay angry, sad people do not want to stay sad, evil people do not want to stay evil; people who are full of hatred do not want to live with hatred. It's just about different reactions and relations between people.
Even criminals are looking for salvation but with lots of pain – just as Jesus was looking for salvation with lots of pain.
So shall we say salvation is another definition of happiness?
Can we reach happiness with lots of pain?
What can minimize your happiness?
What can make you view happiness from a different angle?
What can make you change the concept of happiness?
Are we going to be happy when we go to heaven (or at least what you think makes us happy)?
Is having the black and white and sometimes living in the grey?
Is happiness a state of mind?
Or is it something written in a book signed by a lawyer, or having witnesses?
When we say love, passion, feelings, and caring, do these words make you smile?
Or as they are defined by psychiatrists as illness?
To answer all these questions and much more, to understand what prophets and messengers were sent for, to really understand why we are here and what is the message…. We want to do this film... And in order to obtain the answers, we need to ask the world and we must discover the new fatal weapon that might take us there.
The Dimensions of Happiness
1. Religion
The equation:
happy / sad; good / bad; heaven / hell
2. Horoscopes and Myths
The equation:
What you know/ what you don’t know; Yesterday / Today / Tomorrow; Past / Present / Future
3. Globalization
The equation:
Small world / Great (big) effort
4. Proving Oneself
The equation:
Your mirror equals yourself; Family and friends, the society, the world
5. Good and Bad energy.
The equation:
If we draw a scientific diagram with a one positive metal piece surrounded by six negative metal pieces. The positive metal piece will attract the negative metal pieces. But the positive metal piece cannot hold all six negative metal pieces. So eventually, one or more negative metal pieces will tend to fall.
6. Things take us for granted
The equation: Society / Traditions; Youth / Old Age
