Enjoying life" revolvs mostly around getting what we want, being completely free, and basically no rules r restrictions, and when you and I face reality we see that it is hard for us to live that way.....So if we can't live that way,. does that mean life can't be enjoyed? Absolutely not. You need to practice 1 art to enjoy life *Acceptance*
That is da way life is. It isn't that childhood playground of cotton candy rainbows nd fantasies! It has restrictions, limits, nd responsibilities as you said. Therefore, in order to enjoy something the right way,. you need to understand the way it goes,. to accept it. We need to understand those that we call restrictions and limitations in life. They are basically what life actually revolves around. Try

Lets just say their is no religion. Right, we wont have anymore restrictions or so, but their also wont be anything (other than the law) that prevents us from raping people, cheating, steeling, living with no point and so on. Its just like playing soccer game with no rules. It would be more fun, you get to run and kick the way you want and anytime you want, but would you really feel "put together"? You wont know the point of even being in that …show more content…
these people are usually their to actually motivate you to getting to where you want. If you didn't have your parents (for example) expecting high grades or jobs do you think you would be really motivated? Except of course if they are holding high expectations from you on things you don't want to do ( and don't really effect you negatively if you didn't do them* ), then that's a different story. And if it is just people and society expecting things from you, than that is what you don't really need to pay a lot of attention to, because generally they wont be holding these expectations for your sake, they would be holding them because that is what the society wants or something. That would be having them put pressure on you to things they just want you to
(AGG) There's a moral that says, “It is important to take the time to enjoy life.”
As Smith explains, I find joy to be some kind of unhappiness and grief, a distinguishable feeling of bittersweet nostalgia and longing that she deems as a dangerous and slippery slope once someone allows himself/herself to delve deeply into it. As insane as joy seems, I find myself wanting it, since most of my life experiences to this moment seem more like pleasure than joy. Perhaps because the ultimate disposability and evanescence of pleasure seems rather representative of my generation’s increasing awareness of the general fleetingness of things, and their skepticism of all the tropes (a house, a family, a career, the suburban life…) previously associated (mostly via Hollywood and other mass media) with a “joyous” life. My generation is one that has grown up seeing about half of all marriages end in divorce. We’ve seen the real estate market and the stock market collapse a few times, and have been brought up in a world where natural disasters, terrorism and apocalyptic doom are not feared as much as expected. Because we have grown up in the age of market instability, escalating debt and climate change, we are much more desirous of short-term satisfaction and contentment. We’d rather travel, eat amazing food, see movies, have adventures, and live via moment-by-moment tweets and Insta-documents, quickly forgotten; we’d rather live in the
We don’t get to live forever, so why not cherish every moment we have? Many others die young, like John Keats, and never get to accomplish all the things they wanted. On the other hand, many live a life confined by a disability or mental illness and are trapped, never getting the chance to live the life they otherwise would. If we have the chance to live the great life we dream, then do it. There is no sense in wasting our time on this earth by being upset or being a bore, rather, we should live life to the
Many psychologists, such as Martin Seligman, believe that happiness can be narrowed down to three main elements (www.pursuit-of-happiness.org/history-of-happiness/martin-seligman-psychology). These elements are the pleasant life, the good life, and the meaningful life. The pleasant life can be obtained through enjoying the everyday joys that life has to offer. These joys vary depending on the person but oftentimes simple things like spending time with a close friend and having a satisfying sex life contribute to the overall happiness and excitement of an individual’s life. The good life is realized when a person recognizes their personal skills and talents and uses them to better their being. Usually, people who have achieved the good life dedicate a considerable amount of time to work or personal hobbies. For example, an individual who is especially skilled in cooking may become a chef so they can better their talent while doing a job that is beneficial and enjoyable to them. The meaningful life is reached when an individual uses their talents for the greater good of the world. The meaningful life often leaves a person with a sense of inner fulfillment. Although many people may experience various combinations of the three different elements, true happiness is gained through a blend of all three elements. Knowing the different elements can help an individual who is uncertain why they do not feel entirely content
To not be able to be a mother/father, get old, or have time alone seems unfair. This is not happiness, it only takes away minor problems in life. To grow as a whole we need to have life experiences, whether it is a bad or good experience, we need them to make us, us.
The reasons why i agree with John when he said to ask yourself whether you are happy.If you were happy you wouldn't be asking yourself if your happy. Those people who say that to themselves aren't sure what makes them happy or don't know what is happiness to them. Another reason reason is that sometimes the things that you don't enjoy might turn up being your happiness without you searching for it. So you might have to give a chance for everything because you never know.
The question of what it means to live a good life revolves around human nature all the time. Philosophers try to justify what a person needs to do to live the best life. Some philosophers argue happiness makes a life whole, and there are certain actions one takes to earn a good life. The next question these philosophers try to answer is whether a good life is comprised by living life in the pursuit of happiness and living justly. Plato, St Thomas, Marx, and Kant are among the philosophers that explored this question.
All human beings have a common desire. The desire that all humans are striving for is something that is important and vital to every human being. This desire is happiness, which according to Aristotle, “is not something you can feel or experience at a particular moment. It is the quality of a whole life.” Many great philosophers, like Aristotle, have attempted to seek and comprehend what happiness is. Plato believe happiness is a “harmony within the soul-the spiritual well-being of the truly virtuous man.” Immanuel Kant defines “the pursuit of happiness as selfish, setting personal satisfaction above the objective norm of duty and right.” Aristotle believes “Everyone uses the word happiness to name that which he seeks for its own sake and not for the sake of anything else. One wants to be happy because happiness is the ultimate good.” Happiness is a desire all humans want, no one wants to live a dreadful life. Everyone wants to live a good life. Happiness is the total satisfaction of all human desire. In Mortimer Adler’s point of view, there are many components that can lead to happiness. Three important components to attain happiness are bodily, social, and intellectual goods.
Every decision that we make has an effect on one’s life. Simple choices like the clothes we wear to complex decisions like the schools we attend shape our future. Most decisions made by people are to help them achieve success or live a “good life.” The common steps to living a “good life” are going to school to get educated, going to work to support yourself, and retiring to enjoy the remaining years. Just two years ago, I made a decision to go to LASA high school instead of my home school. Why did I do this? I felt that being educated would help me live a “good life.” The problem I had was that I neither understood what a “good life” was, nor did I know how education would help me live a “good life”. The quest for the answer will help me understand more about myself and my values, as well as help me find steps to create the life I want.
Self-knowledge, the knowledge ones has about their personality, feelings, emotions, beliefs and motivations can be contributed to true happiness. My definition of true happiness in this case is the feeling one gets when they are able to make a positive change about themself. My new human civilization that is using psychotherapy will create societies that are filled with happiness. Happiness can be achieved through self-knowledge because an individual has a better understanding of themselves, like their strengths and weakness, as well as their emotions. This in turn due to this new knowledge allows the individual to makes changes to themselves like strengthening certain areas they know they can benefit from, as well as better cope with emotions that are normally hindering them. Because these new humans are coping
Since the beginning of time humans have searched for the good life. Over the centuries people have found multitudes of ways to interpret this ideal. For some it means to gain power and riches. For others it means to find themselves, or to be one with nature. Instead of trying to find something that may not be out there or yearn for something that another has, why can people not be content with what they have bestowed upon themselves? Living the good life does not have ties to materialistic things. It is not chasing after something that others may have. Living the good life is being satisfied with the simple necessities in life. These necessities are being loved, gaining knowledge, and people having contentment with the fruit of their labor.
...s quote. Although we all have different perceptions of life, everyone wants to be happy. They may go about it different ways, but because everyone is working towards the same goal they are all the same in this way. Also, achieving “happiness” is what is most important to you. People need to learn to enjoy what they have and to try their best to stop dwelling on the things around them, so that they can actually understand the meaning and purpose of the lives that they are blessed with and their existence.
When we are having fun, time passes swiftly away. In contrast, when we have nothing to do, time hardly passes by. A second seems longer than a minute, a minute longer than an hour. However, 10 hours seem just 10 minutes when its fun, when we are engaged in something we enjoy doing. When we talk with a broader point of view, we say life is t short to live to the full if we are enjoying our life and still have millions of things we want to do but know we can’t because life’s just too short. But for someone who is not at all enjoying life or whatever he/she is doing, one is too afraid to live life to the full, life is too long. For such people, life could have been more fun had it been shorter. Interestingly, it seems they don’t know that life is until you live, when u don’t live u live like a breathing corpse. It is then not living a life because for wise men living is something totally different to staying alive. For them, life’s just too short to live.
Nevertheless ,we just appreciate life The meaning of life is finding the meaning of life and meanwhile live the life enjoying everything you do, if you don 't like something just change it. Trial and error.if i can do it all time I do little time then it will be easy to do it because when I know what meaning of life puts me in power place in life if I know meaning of life I so Know should have high position because I knew what my captives because I like the job that I worked on it and it was interesting that helps me to make design in difficult. people should make contrast between difficult things and easy things meaning of life-like travel you should know what are going to travel you have to search and find a comfortable seat in the plant meaning dream what abilities what ideas in shudder what he did accomplish the people Being stratification about yourself for what have that a diomed of life things the money is the most important things that find meaning of life and this
I can look forward to it and manage my expectations but happens when something gets in the way? I will never have the answer to “What is the meaning of life?”—but I will have the ability to try. There is a reason why I’m always soul searching to become a better me. It’s because the best me hasn’t happened yet. I will never be the best version of myself but I am always a work in progress trying to reach the ultimate goal. Life isn’t about being successful and leaving your “mark on the world.” Maybe life is about leaving a shadow so one can follow in. Maybe that’s why we’re all here—to try and make it easier for the people to come. My fulfilling life hasn’t been fulfilled yet—the best is yet to
