You have to decide....

Many, many years ago I had to decide to buy or new boots for cold winter or jacket for windy days. My family wasn't rich enough to permit to buy both things. But it was many years ago and for me it wasn't any problem. It was reality and ...... I don't remember what I chose.
After 20 long years when finally we live in capitalistic country we theoreticly don't have this kind of problems. Our decisions aren't so cruel and don't base on the physiological, fundamental needs. Now we are able to buy everything what we want and "need". But when we have to decide about our life, the free-market rules doesn't help us. To much possibilities sometimes make us too much confuse then giving us freedom and indipendance.

" All our final decisions are made

in a state of mind

that is not going to last." Marcel Proust

The consequenses of important decisions are inexpectable and unpredictible. We decide in a state of mind which flow and change constantly but the successions remian a real exemplifications of mental processes.

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.
