Three causes of happiness

 

          Anyone experiences a sense of happiness, angry, love, pleasure and other feelings. No matter what sort of hardships they have to endure, they try to overcome and believe the day they hope. They know what happiness is and try to forget something negative. Then, What makes we feel more happy? I would like to classify cause of happiness into three categories ; Satisfying desire to learn, practice to ethical desire, and meeting desire of sensory organs.

 

          First, satisfying desire to learn causes we feel happy. The curious want to learn what he is anxious to learn. It is an instinctive desire. And it has improved our life, society, welfare and so on. But most importantly of all, this desire make us feel more profound pleasure than any other desire.

 

          Next, we feel pleased because of our practice to ethical desire. Anyone has ethical belief. It is either personal ethics or communal ethics such as Confucian morality. It also an primitive instinct. Besides, we are living in our society, which makes people pursue communal ethics.

 

          Last, to meet desire of sensory organs also causes our happiness. When we eat, smell, touch, or hear something good, we become delighted. This desire is the most easy but powerful instinct.

 

          Up to now, I have classified causes of happiness and explained each character ; satisfying desire to learn, practice to ethical desire, and meeting desire of sensory organs. Of course, I hope we are always happy, convenient, satisfied, pleased. But the fact that the unhappy exists makes the moment of happiness more valuable. So, the attitude we should have is to thank our happiness.
