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

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 are more than just a receptacle that holds a collection of good emotions and pleasures. We are more than just a “happy” internal life. If happiness is the only thing that matters, what are we to be happy? Nozick asks, “How could the most important thing about our life be what it contains, though? What makes the felt experiences of pleasure or happiness more important than what we ourselves are like?” (Mulnix). It is by thinking about the Experience Machine, and wondering what it would be like to live an eternal, positive internal life, that we realize we would not want to spend our lives connected to the Experience Machine. We realize that there is more to life that we value than just our experiences. Perhaps we want to make a change in our lives, or in the lives of others. Perhaps we want to impact the world in some way. I agree with Nozick and find that it is quite reasonable to believe we, as human beings, want more out of life than just
madness of a world in which those who enjoy life most are those whom the world
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
Charles Bukowski once said in one of his letters “Find what you love, and let it kill you.” I strongly disagree with that. As a matter of fact, the greatest pleasure in life is being able to recognize what we really love and get to know how to live with it. Passions and dreams are what identifies our existence. If we were able to find them and concentrate on fulfilling them, we would realize that they are the only things that are worth living for. For instance, we probably can notice how an artist is always happier than an employee. Two persons: One devotes himself to his art and passion, takes each day as a new opportunity to make his talent more perfect than the day before. And the other one who wears ea...
What comes to mind when one thinks of death - an uncharted realm of darkness which shivers humanity from top to bottom, without blink of eye we neglect it and move on to ordinary problems of life. The very human nature of denial- a famous human defense mechanism which makes our life easier to some extent by clouding our thought process to think about nominal day to day life problems. Death according to some is the worst thing that happens to mankind and should be avoided at all cost. But one thing that troubles me sometimes is that do we really need to worry about it too much when it comes to everybody ? It surely is the supreme form of governance which brings about equality among masses and bridges the inequality that this capitalistic world has created.
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
who achieve sense of meaning in their lives are happier than those who live from one pleasure to another.
As one ponders on how to live a good life, many ideas come to mind. Whether this may be wealth, family, or beauty, the early philosopher’s theories need to be taken into consideration. Those early philosophers include Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and The Epicureans. These four committed their lives towards bettering life, and are the basis of most philosophical theories. It is evident that these four need to be read, understood, and discussed to better understand one’s life. They always pondered on the thought of how to have a perfect life and society. When one makes their own theory, based upon these early philosophers, not only do they need to establish a strong belief system, it is required to practice this too. Plato had the most basic of theories, being that only virtue was needed in life to be happy and nothing else. For Aristotle, he used Plato’s foundation and added that external goods, such as wealth, respect, friends, and beauty were all necessary. Without one of these, Aristotle believes that one cannot live a happy life. For the Stoics, they settled on a balanced approached between virtue and external goods, saying that virtue is necessary, yet external goods are preferred too. The Epicureans largely argue the Stoics view, and present that pleasure (tranquility) is the goal of every life, but virtues and friends are required for this. Each theory has many critics, even with Aristotle being a critic of his own theory. None seems perfect, yet all fit today’s modern society. I found that I agree with the Stoics theory the most, and find that any external good is fine as long as virtue is the basis of that person’s life.
Everyone has their own outlook on life. Most people feel like money and success brings them happiness, while others think love is all they need. “For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul” (Epicurus). Our philosophies change over time as we grow older and wiser. As a child I thought the world was full of so much happiness, love, peace and joy. Once I grew older my philosophy became clear that there is more to life than just living. In the world today it is best to have something that makes you look forward to the next day. Like family, friends, and personal goals. Being able to have overall balance of happiness, pain and the existence of God, is my guide for living.
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
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.
