Re: How do you define happiness?

[personal profile] tei 2013-04-23 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I think happiness consists of:

1. Doing work that you can see the results of around you (so, if my choice was between being a construction worker and knowing that because of me buildings get built, or a paper-shuffler who is never quite sure what effect thair work is having, I would choose the former)

2. Having acheived a level of competancy in that work that makes you feel valued in that role

3. Having a network of people around you that you love and respect, and vice versa

These conditions can be fulfilled if you play your cards right no matter what stage of life you are in, from elementary school to retirement, and I think I'm at a point where I have them fulfilled in my current state. Of course, things like competancy in your work and a reliable network of friends take time to build up, so I also recognize that as soon as I graduate from my current school and go on to another place I'll probably be miserable for a while, but that's part of figuring things out in a new place and station in life and building long-term happiness.
