The ancient philosophers took a great deal
more opportunities to truly THINK than we usually do. Consider, in this political season of
hyperbole but without further comment, this quote from Aristotle’s Ethics, on what people should do in
their behavior and their thinking “in order to become happy or to avoid
unhappiness, the principal emphasis being placed on the cultivation of the
virtues, both moral and intellectual, although other goods are also recognized
as necessary for happiness, such as wealth, health, friends, and a just society
in which to live.”
Our challenge is to holistically see and value
all the parts of what he said, and not just pick out pieces.
You choose your happiness no one can stop your decision. Not your job, not your boss, not your boy/girlfriend, not your financial situation, even though you are in unhealthy conditions, you are still can choose happiness and Pease mind. Keep Joy & Pease in your head all the time, life is too short, be positive. Good wealth, good health, and good friends are made you more happier for sure, but they usually not come to the same package.So it is your right to choose happiness.
