What does it mean to be a happy man?No holiday is complete without the wish of the word "happiness."We all want to be happy, so other people want the same thing.At least once in the life of any person attending reflections on the theme of happiness.We are well aware that everyone is his own.
What does it mean to be happy for a young child?Dry, warm, tasty, safe - sleep well, my mother smile, grow.It should be left alone, to feel a little anxiety - happiness is gone.
What does it mean to be happy for a first grader?Beautiful bag with notebooks, friends, classmates, toys and games.A goldfish has a favorite of parents who fulfill any desire.
What does it mean to be happy for a teenager?Fashionable clothes, pretty girlfriend, gay hangouts.And about the material support "ancestors" do not forget.
What does it mean to be happy for a child living in an orphanage?It is to see my mom every day, embrace it.A child is like my mother drinks occasionally leads to the house of strange men.The main thing - to be with her single mom, living in the family, not to the same disadvantaged children.
And then we grow up, become adults.Our needs change.And all of life to dedicate to catch a momentary happiness: to buy a car of the new model, to go to the sea or to make you jealous colleagues.Someone one need - just to survive in this hard society.In general, everyone has their own happiness - according to his needs.
many now famous pyramid of needs Maslow.At the bottom - physiological needs, which include thirst, hunger, sex drive, and others.Then, rising to the top, there are security needs, belonging and love, for respect.Even higher - cognitive needs, aesthetic.Crowned with a pyramid - the need for self-knowledge, self-realization in the society.At each step a person feels happy when his need is satisfied.
But why Maslow identified needs only aimed at themselves?Unfortunately, in our society today is cultivated this principle of happiness.Advertising, movies, television, magazines claim the value of pleasure.There are fun - a man happy, no fun - unhappy.It all comes down to meeting the needs, and not the highest, but rather nizchayshih.But to satisfy their need - this is a one-time happiness.
If you ask frankly, in our hearts we feel that happiness - is something else eternal.Like love, the concept of which is also brought down to the lowest level of requirements.
But love - the Christian value.God is love.Christ Himself showed that love - this decision, not a feeling.And it is expressed not in self-satisfaction, and creative life for the sake of another person.
words "I love you" without specific cases will remain just an empty phrase.Agree with me, those who at least once have seen the joy and happiness of a loved one, the created your hand.Those happy eyes remain forever in the memory, they maintain a minute of sadness, failure.Meet the needs of another - is not this happiness, having an eternal sense?
care, compassion, charity, combined with love bring happiness not only suffering, but also those who help, love.
You may say that it is all too globally, not for me.A relationship in the family, a married couple?What a joy they bring?If a man and a woman love for the satisfaction of his own flesh, desires, needs, not long will this happiness.Before the first serious quarrel.But the relationship of love, built on Christian principles, will fill your home with happiness.Love to your loved or loved to bring happiness and joy.And to be happy is to love.
