Happiness 2

More thoughts on happiness kind of related to my first blog..and still based off the question from the exam.


There are a few forms of happiness when one breaks it down, but Contemplation is the highest form. Only Gods could contemplate for the rest of their lives, continuously but when people are contemplating they are seeking happiness. Happiness extends as far as contemplation does, and it is a type of contemplation.

When you live a happy life, you have enough wisdom to benefit and work well with others, however you don’t need to work with others to benefit your “happiness, or intellect” since you attain happiness in itself, you are sufficient enough. In order to gain happiness you have to seek what is the most powerful thing in oneself, you have to seek what is presently divine in the soul and go after it, since what is presently divine in the soul surpasses the fused being. While seeking the most powerful being in oneself, you have to live in accordance with it.
