Happiness
I read some of the happiness posts from the internet trying
to find a good definition for “Happiness “and I saw a variety of answers. But
what is happiness? According to George Sheehan “Happiness is different from
pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and
accomplishing.” That’s the best definition I found online that reflects my own perception of happiness. For talk
about what is happiness for me I’m going to use the movie “Pursuit of happyness”
as example. This story was starring by Will Smith inspired by the true story
of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman that works hard to build a future
for himself and his son Christopher. The story began in 1981 when Chris Gardner sold
machines to doctors at hospitals, while his wife working as a part time worker.
The problem was that Chris could not sell any scanner and had to fulfill the
living costs such as the taxes, and daycare fee. Then his girlfriend decides to
leave and stay with her sister in New York, and Chris has to raise Christopher
alone. After this Chris decides to be a stockbroker by applying for a six-month
training program. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted from
their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets. Also they have to sleep
in homeless shelters and a metro station bathroom. With self-confidence and the
love that he feels for his son, Chris Gardner surpasses his obstacles to become
a successful man.
This movie represents for
me happiness, because the movie seems to focus on the strength of trying
despite failures. This movie presents the Chris’ unwavering perseverance and
determination in his way to the happiness.
When you fight for something and then you feel the satisfaction that
thanks to your efforts have the things that you want, for me this is happiness,
and this movie is an example of this. Because this movie shows how the protagonist
fights for his son and for his future, he cares his son with a tenderness and
love that is impressive. In the final of the movie we can see the happiness
face that Chris had when he achieved obtain the stockbroker job, he began to
cry and we can saw the happiness tears in his face. Happiness exactly for me is
when we feel that awesome feeling in the heart, and we begin to” cry of
happiness” because we don’t know if shout or laugh. But the only thing that we
know is that we finally meet the real happiness, because we fight for get it
working hard. The happiness for all the people have
different meanings but for me is the moment when you feel satisfied with all of
your efforts, because you know that all the things that you have is for one
reason, because you fought for those things. The happiness for me not is win
the lottery or have all the things that I want, happiness for me is have the
primordial things as love and be the person that you want to be , working hard.
Now I want to share a movie scene that represents "happiness" for me, also is my favorite part of the movie. I put the video here,but if you can't see it , I share the link:
