Happiness | always inside oft peone, something that is living day by day and moment by moment. What Suffering Does by David Brooks, Living with Less, A Lot Less by Graham Hills, and How Happy Are You and Why by Sonja Lyubomirsla\ these three articles The authors point out how happiess people can be happy without matérials things how they can are similar because the authof relate how material things are not necessary to be @ happy in life, A and how a happy life need to be overjoyed and valued. Although these three articles are different because in Brooks article explain how suffering can guidg‘people to not believe in happiness. Happiness is the best way to live a better life because it promises people to get rid of all the bad things that had happened or suffered, also help people to get ahead. In addition people can remove all the unnecessary things, and all the materials things that we have in this world that people live. Hills, Brooks, and Lyubomirsky argue that happiness it's everything in life, no matter what you have. Hills live in a small house with less and he enjoy more his life, because he star enjoying his life when his space are small and his life are bigger Hills point out that “ i have'less- and enjoy more. My space is small. My life is big”( Hills 312). This it's important because youCastro 2 can see the small things that you have around you can make you life better,bigger, and the most important happy. Also the article by Lyubomirsky describe happiness like how life it’s () g00d,enjoys, and be possivete, “I use the term happiness to refer to the experience of enjoy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one's life is good, meaningful, ve 4 and worthwhile”(Lyubomirsky 184). This it’s important because happiness makes him seognze (tI & how valuable life is also because he recognizes how he enjoys, as he defines it worth living with “y , i happiness. However the article by brook show us other point of view about happiness he explain \ how suffering, pain, and difficult time send you to don't believe in happiness “ difficulty and suffering sends you on a different course...suffering drags you into yourself” (Brooks 284-285). This it's important because Brooks argue how people feel in bad moments when they don't believe in happiness also don't believe in enjoy life and finally they live in a “routine”. The authors put their differents point views about happiness. On the other hand, va thinks that for many materials things that people have will never be enough to be happy because those are momentary things . however, people realize that it is a better to live without the unnecessary things, and there are more importants things like live a full a full live with happiness and love there is when people live a meaningful life.” we live in a world of surfeit stuff... for me it took me 155 years, a great love and a lot of travel to get rid of all the inessential things I had collected an live a bigger, better, richer life with less”(Hills 308). People things that by traveling or having the most expensive and luxurious things in the world, they are happy but do not: the true happiness is when nothing can’t bothers the day, when weCastro 3 learn to live with the littles things that we have now, and we know that neither all the money in the world or the materials things make people happy because is better live a rich life with less. In addition Lyubomirsky, talks about the fountain of happiness can be found in how you behave, what goals you set every day of your life how it is more important to be happy now that all the events we have in our lives because we will not depend on a party to be happy and we will not depend on what we have to know the happiness the happiness always have to be with us, has to be like our shadow wherever he goes with us,” the average of happiness of your identical twin is a much more powerful clue to your happiness today than all the fact and events of your life!” Lyuboinirsky 188”), Although This is important because if we say that happiness is like our twin you are recognizing that itis the other half of our life and that itis the most powerful (thing that we can always take care of regardless of the factors or events that are around people. yy ‘However Brooks argue that suffering is needed to change and grow, but happiness makes Wd you think at the best in good things makes people optimistic in this life also makes you see that (¥\. you have good benefits if you are happy, “happiness wants you to think about maximizing your a As benefits suffering”(Brooks 284). This is significant for humans because suffering sometimes bad things that we pass through teach how can we be more powerful, and this lead people to be happy to overcome not matter what we go through if we are happy always, people do not know | the suffering because happiness makes people a positive person, are always aware that everything will pass and that good things will come, not to flood you in suffering nor does it hurt, your alone always leads you to good things.
