Does our age and condition of life influence our happiness My thesis is about our age, money , gender role, and our happiness on how it could influence our lives. There so many stuff in this world that our philosophers have told us about our happiness. A quote from Aristotle in the book What Are the Ethics of Happiness says “ Happiness then is the best,noblest,and most pleasant thing and these attributes are not severed as in the inscription.”(Pg 65) Another quote from our famous philosophers Plato says in his book The Allegory of the Cave “ And if he were compelled to look at the light itself,would not that pain his eyes,and would he not turn away and flee to those things.”(Pg 67) This two quote from our famous philosophers reminds

There is a quote from Dan Haybron that says, “ First, it maintains that happiness is a broad psychological condition. That is, it consists in a wide range of affective states, including emotions, moods, pains, and pleasures” ( Wren-Lewis 33). This quote reminds me of age because when it comes to work for your family for men and women our emotions, mood ,pains, and pleasures for men still be the same we suck it up and move on from the pain and emotions while women emotions they cry and don 't get over the pain and their mood change their happiness. (37) Happiness is like a connection to your brain it triggers a signal to tell you about your emotions and moods. For example, you wake up so mad and piss off and people start telling you did you woke up in the wrong side of the bed while they are happy and you are wishing you are like them for that day. But, what if it was the other way around for them they woke up in a bad mood and then you tell them great day today and they respond back saying my day isn 't going well and they are wishing they could be happy like you. A quote from Sam Wren-Lewis “I will argue that we have good reason to treat happiness as an indicator of well being what I will refer to as the Indicator View.”( …show more content…
Happiness is full of positive mindset so why did I ask this question well the reason I ask this question is because people think of so many reasons of happiness like money, drugs and many more that people could think of but does it influence our happiness. Do our age and condition in life affects our happiness and my opinion is yes, it does, for example, you are 18 years old and then you feel like I 'm already an adult, but actually you not fully adult yet, but you will later on but you see your friends at the age of 21 going to bars and clubs drinking at a legal age while you are still illegal to drink because you are under the age of 21. That what I call jealousy because you jealous of your friends having fun at a club or bar at the age of 21 while you are home can 't do anything because you are under the age of 21. A quote from Sam Wren-Lewis “ For example, who is better off unhappy rich person or the happy poor person.”(Pg 37). And you are probably wondering how could this quote proof about jealousy and there a lot of reason why this quote is important because it part of the topic. So this is why I ask, would you still be happy once you turn 21 while your friends that were 21 are now taking big responsibility in life or will you be jealous just because you are not 21 and your friends are 21 even though you will be at that age and then after that take so much
