Aristotle - " Happiness depends ..."

in #quotes6 years ago (edited)


Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) - the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist, one of the most important intellectual figures of Western culture, had a significant influence on the later Christian scholastics, the work of thinkers of the Islamic world and some philosophies - eg objectivist philosophy (link).


Happiness depends upon ourselves


Why?

Our happiness depends by our goals. If we accept money as our supreme goal, we will be enslaved by our wealth and desire of it. If we accept other people as our goal, we will be ensalved by them and their opinions about us. If we accept the need for power or recognition as our goal, we will be ensalved by the people around us too.

Only pure source of happiness can be found in ourselves lives. Every individual has the biggest interest in making his or her life good, valuable and happy and has the best chances to recognize, what can gives this happiness to himself or herself.
