Bordom

Can process of searching for happyness lead us to find the way to the eternal state of felicity. I don't think so. I believe that SEARCHING FOR HAPPYNESS help us to come closer to this mysterious feelings. Being always on the way, walking toward our goals, appasionated by our desires, dreams, ideas give us the new energy to continue the path.

But finally after all the effort when we can rest and enjoy the fact of being in the state of felicity ....we become bored....
boredom....boredom... boredom.... how come??
For most of all, being bored mean maximum of unhappyness. So the happyness can be only the state of constant excitement stimulated by unfinished objectives. Maybe..
Also you, when you try to relax after a hard and long "journey" - feel bored. When we did everything to reach our goals and there's nothing left, only enjoyment... the boredom moves stealthily...

What does it make us more happy?

I'm still discussing with myself about happyness. I try to explain myself that we can't be happy in 100% all our lifes.
There are ONLY a moments which make our life worth to live. One of the things which make me unhappy is exactly fact that the state of eternal felicity DOESN'T EXIST.

So when I finally accept it, I wonder what can give us the sensation of eternal felicity.
Bauman describing the liquid society has noted that in our consumption-oriented reality we are "happy" when we can feel unique, exceptional individual who can reach the state of happyness. Polish philosopher is asking if the sensation of privilige make us "happy". For example, if we are rich enought to buy a new model of Ferrari, we feel so unique, better then others, ecc. But isn't Ferrari only a famous brand of fast italian car? Isn't that the created by the present society brand manipulate our lifes? Why the fact of owning "something special" (for example modern Ipod, seductive perfumes or brand shoes) has to determine our state of mind. Are your happyness in everyday life depends only on the objects you own?
Mine not.

Life as an art

A few days ago I have started readind the newest book of Zygmunt Bauman "The art of life". He is talking about felicity in our modern-liquid world. He asked: "what is wrong with happyness?"
We are happy till we don't loose the hope to be happy in the future. It's so deep and when I repeat this sentence in my mind I really feel happy....




So.. how to keep the hope alive? Bauman suggests that only when we have in front of us a new possibilities, new fast beginnings, the prospective of infinitive chain of beginnings.We have to create a difficult challenges. We have to choose the objectives that are over our present possibilities. We have to try "the impossible". The life is emotional and worked out. Emotional for people who loves adventures. The life is used for people who has weak heart.
At the end Bauman leaves as with question - we have to decide if constraint of searching of happyness in his practical form in our society (consumism' society) - make us really happy?
Why we have to search felicity?
Beeing forced to do (feel) something for me mean not to be free and ugual non to be happy.

G'day mates!
