Reflection Paper of the Happy Prince

This is the modern, everyday life of many unfortunate people. For People of all ages. You can hear on the news about wives and children and even husbands who were killed in acts of rage and domestic violence. Even though I am unable to relate to this certain passage, I was still touched and I actually felt sympathy for these fictitious characters.

An individual can learn a lot from people that are very different from them. I feel that this story was written to illustrate that point. The story tells us about a man named Charlie Lavery who was twenty six years old and believed that he was capable of taking care of himself no matter what the situation.

Sacrificed the truth, beauty and the right to think, happiness and comfort is just indulgent, it is the discomfort brought by the misery, responsibility and the bonding give us the weight of life. The world is full of people who try hard to gain happiness, and we all have at least one time the idea of living in a perfect world, a world without pain, without misery, without getting old and without cancers. We always ignored the importance and the beauty of uncomfortableness, just as a quote in this book said, “Stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand”. After read this book, I started to be more objective at those bad things I used to hate, to understand the significance of art and to be grateful to this imperfect world we are

What are the meanings of happiness? Equality is happy because he found freedom from the harsh or the tough society. Also, he lives with Golden One now which makes both of them happy because they love each other. Throughout the story, Equality finally finds out that the word “We” carries the society or a large group of people. Equality says, “For the word "We" must never be spoken, save by one's choice and as a second thought.

This short story, teach us that revenge and hateful feelings will never be good for anyone, because the only thing they provoke, are wars, racism and hate for each other, so all we need to do when we suffered about something, is to forgive and move on with our lives because there are a lot of things in the world much more worth it than hate and

Happiness is a idea that the people of Brave New World fake to make themselves appear better. The society identified that the only way to create a successful environment is by creating stability among everyone in Brave New World. While most of the happiness created in this society is artificial, they do the best they can at falsifying it to make it seem like real life. One way happiness is achieved for everyone in the society is by using physiological procedures to make sure that each individual is completely satisfied with the role in society that they have. Without everyone being happy with the jobs that they have they feel that it is not a perfect place.

In Brave New World, the author suggests that we should seek something else in life other than our happiness by using characters that believe they are happy, and characters who do not. Some characters are happy because they rule over others with dominance and authority. While other characters struggle with internal and external happiness because they are put in a life not suited for natural human functionability. Happiness is defined by the leaders and model citizens of World State by crossing a terror with a false happiness. For example, Mustapha Mond states that “You all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford’s:

A life lived under someone else’s expectations is no life at all. Many people live their lives allowing others to tell them what to do. They allow others to put them down, and to make them feel less of a person. There have been stories about man versus man, man versus nature and most importantly man versus self. In “The story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe we see how each writer uses setting, characterization, and dramatic irony to show how allowing others to dictate ones life can lead to disastrous ends.

This is the story about a prince who had got every thing , and He had not seen any sorrow in his life. He helped his people whatever he could.

Initially, Mahfouz presents the happiness as something positive; something that the protagonist actually wants. He explains that it is short and foreshadows its end: “Oh no, this must be just a fleeting mood which could never be permanent. For if it lasted forever, man would become an angel and reach the world beyond.” This implies that human happiness is both rare and brief. If it were any other way, as it happens with the protagonist, people would not be people at all. This again demonstrates the scarcity of human happiness, as the implication is that no one is really happy. Even with successes and possessions, man is usually unhappy, much like the protagonist. In fact, the protagonist's servant puts this into perspective. He explains happiness is imperfect and that "this is the nature of life." Indeed, even when the novelty of happiness does occur, it is not perfect, and also not completely sought.

There are times when the suffering of some can bring greater happiness for others. A small example, would be when one individual loses a job, another can gain a job. However, this is demonstrated unfairly in the city of Omelas. Locked in a damp, dark basement exists a child bereft of all love, care, and opportunity. "It has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, and neglect" (260). Its ' gender is left unidentified to emphasize its ' destitute and feeble state. The child embodies all the hallmarks of extreme poverty, including the lack of proper nutrition, health, education, as well as poor economic and social standing. "The others never come close, but peer in at it with frightened, disgusted eyes" (261). "They all know [the child] is there, all the people

Often having happiness is finding the key to life. Happiness is the ability to make one’s life full of joy and success. In the “Death of a Salesman”, “The Great Gatsby”, and “The Devil’s Advocate”, the protagonists in the movies seem to yearn for happiness and success in their lives. Although success may be the ultimate goal to achieving happiness, it does not always lead us there. There are many obstacles people have to overcome, and sometimes happiness is not enough for some people. It is why I believe more people should enjoy life and live it to the fullest extent as possible. Happiness allows people to live their lives and look at the good despite all their flaws and as they are happy they look back at what it took for them to achieve

from a world of guilt and false livelihood. The story is based on the author’s own account

The true meaning and idea of happiness could perhaps never be truly known. Throughout the ages, the idea of what happiness is has been

It is common sense that all the human beings would like to live a happy life and they will spare no efforts in order to realize the purpose of really living a happy life in the end. However, different people have different definitions toward what a happy life is and they tend to have different standards as for how a life is that can be regarded as a happy life. There is no doubt that people will then try different means in order to pursue a happy life based on their definition toward what a happy life is. Therefore, the following will talk about the pursuit of a happy life from the perspectives of both Dalai Lama in The Art of Happiness and Viktor E. Frankl in Man’s Searching for Meaning, during which the experiences of some characters from the film Forrest Gump will be applied as evidence. Generally speaking, the pursuit of a happy life in the minds of Dalai Lama and Viktor E. Frankl can be achieved via experiencing sufferings and adversity. It is hoped that this analysis can help people understand what a happy is from a different point of view.
