How can the amount of happiness be increased?
The standard of the world: Evil is prevalent in relation to welfare.
The philosophy of the sack: More, so better?
1. How can the amount of happiness be increased?
When all is told, the matter of happiness is of a practical nature. The man has been senses since the beginning of time: a weak being, in quest of fullness, inner balance, happiness. Happiness is not an unproblematic given. The man has rarely been in the situation of being tempted to stop time, to tell the moment to stand still and transform in forever. He is a restless, discontent being, in search of better. But the ways through which he thought he could attain happiness weren’t always the same.in this chapter, we will explore the manners through which the modern man seeks to make his life happy. However, we cannot ignore the series of sketched, we could even say dramatized projects in the traditional societies. They could appear to the modern man as being bizarre, particularly because of their mythological and philosophical encasement. Beyond that, we recognize in them a human nature hypostasis, a road that seems appropriate for a trial, in certain conditions. And, if we would give credit to some antiquity philosophers, there is nothing new under the sun
, everything comes back, repeats itself, in other forms.
Kill the enemy who’s structure is represented by lust!
: The ascetic key.
In European culture, Asceticism has been associated for a long time with Christianity. In Christian philosophy, true happiness was thought to be realized only by renouncing everything that represented sensuous demands, or bodily pleasure. Through Asceticism and spirit cultivation, the man can reach the human state of accomplishment, therefore, happiness. We have accustomed in considering that this solution is a logical consequence of Christian philosophy and, therefore, efficient or inefficient, according to the context. Christianity defines the human nature as being double: body and soul. However, the soul is the in fact human part. The body is more a fortuity that prevents, diverts the soul from self-cultivation. The human accomplishment can only be attained by body mortification, by Asceticism and by soul cultivation. If we analyze more thoroughly, we could also reach to the opposite conclusion: not the Christian ethic is a logic consequence of the Christian philosophy, but rather the latter is an ideology
, a rationalization, justification attempt, an attempt of explanation of a way of life in certain given conditions. And in good sooth, Asceticism as a way of attaining happiness is not seen only in Christian religion. We can also discover it as an invariant technique in various mythological and philosophical contexts. Therefore, we could see thing of a reversed perspective: Asceticism as a technique, with its intrinsic rationalities of attaining the happiness that can be encased
in various mythological and philosophical configurations. Seen from this point of view, Asceticism starts to seem as being not a simple wandering of the human spirit, but in certain life conditions, a rational proceeding
. The reader may be shocked by such an allegation. By no means have we supported Asceticism. Rationally, it is taken here as a solution that functions with some expected results only in certain conditions, and only temporarily. In order to illustrate this technique, we have chosen two of the great philosophical systems in which the logic of Asceticism clearly appears on the surface: the Indian philosophy of Bhagavad-Gita and the Stoic philosophy. In the illustrious work - Bhagavad-Gita- for several thousands of years now, the Indian sought to find the fundamental principles that could lead his life towards wisdom, towards happiness. In a personal systematization, these are thus shown:
- The source of pain is desire.
- Commit the deeds prescribed! Perpetration is necessary. The perpetration is better than the lack of action.
- But do not have as grounds the fruit of your deeds.
- Fulfill the deeds, but leave behind the connection you have with them. Being the same both in success and failure.
- This spirit
