Question

Why do we have to work with happiness? how do we work with happiness?

Answer 1

I just read some comments on another question and most postings were anti God. This seems to some a safe place to show their ignorance of Philosophy and failure in civility.

For their information God is to science a cause, to philosophy an idea, to religion a person, even the loving heavenly Father. God is to the scientist a primal force, to the philosopher a hypothesis of unity, to the religionist a living spiritual experience. Man's inadequate concept of the personality of the Universal Father can be improved only by man's spiritual progress in the universe and will become truly adequate only when the pilgrims of time and space finally attain the divine embrace of the living God on Paradise.

To the subject, life is all about how we express ourselves to others. The wisdom pasted down through the ages tells about fruits of the spirit,  "for the fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance." Once again life is all about choosing.

Answer 2

I think we have to work with happiness because most of us are at a place of uneasiness with our happiness. I mean, we have it, we love it.... but at times it gets away from us, and sometimes we let others have some sort of control of that happiness.  And when they are mad at us, or not happy with our actions... they manipulate us to believing we are to blame, and this in return makes us unhappy.  

We would be better off to take back that control, and know that nothing outside of ourselves can take away the true happiness we have on the inside.  

I think people work with their happiness because they love it, they know it makes their life so much more enjoyable.  

I know for myself the way I worked with mine was getting rid of all negativity in my life.  The more I keep negative thoughts and actions out of my life, the more happiness I can absorb and cherish!

Thanks for reading!

Answer 3

If we work with total dedication and involvement in any subject, we derive happiness. There should be a sense of belonging. We should make ourselves answerable and accountable.

This quality can come only if you remain happy. I mean dedication, involvement and the sense of belonging will come only if we put our heart and soul to any subject.

Unless we remain happy, these qualities will not come.

And one more important thing is when you work with happiness, we get best and quality results.

Answer 4

A good book to read would be "Happiness is a Choice" by Barry Neil Kaufman.  You don't have to work with happiness but you can choose to

be happy with your work. [while working].

Answer 5

we oftenly associate happiness with significance. being happy means not necessarily significant. we work with it because we want to satisfy something within us. we want to be happy because we want to go on and enjoy and savor life.

Answer 6

we don't work for happiness....it is always there. simply enough you don't recognize it sometimes cause you are so busy.
