The concept of happiness
Philosophers, Platon, Aristoteles, the ancient Romans, Buddhist, Muslims, Christians, everyone uses to analyze and suggest their ways to reach the sense of happiness. Everyone, more or less, from my point of view, get a common denominator.
Happiness depends only of you, it depends of me.
Since I passed my 30ties, I’m asking myself more and more what can I do, or better, what do I need to change in order to feel happy.
Life past fast. We get own goals, or they are given us from society and day by day my doubts are rising, if they are the right ones or not. What do I need, to give life a sense? How other people reach their own happiness? I guess, it is a huge difference between cultures, between societies, how everyone reach his state of happiness.
Due to my past life, to my constantly move between cultures and maybe due to my ethnical mixture, I feel, or rather, I am rootless.
This fact is boon and bane and probably, is this the reason because I decided to keep moving, in slow motion by bike, to research what makes other people happy. In other places, with different conditions, etc.
I feel the urgent request to breath freedom, space, nature und feel part of it, instead of being part of this superficiality way of life and consumerism.
Indeed, I expect from this trip an enhancement for my soul, an enrichment for my sensibility and becoming one with really important matters in life, like the (our) environment and social (real) networks.
Following ancient routes, their culture and customs, discovering their heritage....
IT IS NOT HOW MUCH WE HAVE, BUT HOW MUCH WE ENJOY, THAT MAKES HAPPINESS
Charles Spurgeon
