LOH Contest #212: Happiness through virtue [ENG/ESP]
Greetings to everyone in the Ladies of Hive community! Today I'm joining today to participate in the #212 contest of the community. Before we begin, I invite my friends @aliciarodriguez and @alfonzolenke, who can join through the link I'll be leaving at the end of this post. That said, let's get started as I will be answering the second question.
Imediatly when I read the questions I couldn't help but remember the words of my dear friend, Felipe. With whom I usually have very interesting chats and who is also someone very knowledgeable in Philosophy/Sociology and tends to give me certain reflections that leave one thinking. Talking about happiness one fine day, he mentioned Aristotle and how the latter defined (or identified) it in the following way: happiness is not a solid, enduring and imperturbable state? It works more like small fluctuations that occur in short periods of time. And it certainly is; a brief state but one that we yearn for constantly. Well, how many things can we do to make that happiness emerge and even more, to make it last
¡Saludos a todos en la comunidad de Ladies of Hive! El día de hoy me uno por aquí para participar en el concurso #212 de la comunidad. Antes de empezar, invito a mis amigas @aliciarodriguez y @alfonzolenke, quienes pueden unirse a través del enlace que estaré dejando al final de ma publicación. Dicho esto, comencemos pues estaré respondiendo a la segunda pregunta.
Inmediatamente cuando leí las preguntas no pude evitar recordar las palabras de mi querido amigo, Felipe. Con quién suelo tener charlas muy interesantes y quién además, es alguien muy entendido en Filosofía/Sociología y tiende a darme ciertas reflexiones que dejan a uno pensando. Hablando sobre la felicidad un buen día, él mencionó a Aristóteles y cómo este último la definía (o identificaba) de la siguiente forma: la felicidad no es un estado sólido, perdurable e imperturbable... Funciona más cómo pequeñas fluctuaciones que se dan en breves periodos de tiempo. Y ciertamente así es; un estado breve pero que añoramos constantemente. Bueno, cuantas cosas podemos hacer para que esa felicidad surja y aún más, para que permanezca.
I would also like to add what Aristotle mentioned about happiness and virtue as an ultimate goal. That of personal and moral improvement as a way to achieve happiness through a virtuous life. And I think that at this point I feel largely convinced of it because I believe that it is what is closest to my idea of happiness: a dignified life, with convictions, principles (that have coherence with the actions: harmony) enjoyed and free that translates into that joy that produces happiness. That is why, reflecting again on that, I would say that my happiness is largely affected by that virtue achieved. Although clearly, excellence and perfection is not something very human. That is why there are so many frustrations.
In conclusion: if it is a question of being happy, I aspire at least to be able to have the will and the opportunity to be able to fulfill the dilemmas of life in a virtuous way. To live as decently as I can and enjoy every experience. I am happy when I achieve a personal goal, when I live with my family, friends and pets, when I am aware of the world, when I try to make amends for my mistakes, when I love and am loved, when I am true to myself, when I perceive who I am, when I contemplate something beautiful and so much more. Finally my friends, that is my perspective on the matter . Each one will have his or her own opinion about it. Without more to say, thank you very much for stopping by. Best regards.
Así mismo me gustaría añadir lo que mencionaba Aristóteles sobre la felicidad y la virtud cómo un fin último. Aquello del perfeccionamiento personal y moral cómo una forma de alcanzar la felicidad a través de una vida virtuosa. Y creo que en este punto me siento en buena parte convencida de ello pues creo qué es lo que más se acerca a mi idea de la felicidad: una vida digna, con convicciones, principios (que tengan coherencia con las acciones: armonía) disfrutada y libre que se traduce en esa dicha que produce la felicidad. Es por ello que, reflexionando nuevamente sobre eso, diría que mi felicidad se ve en buena medida afectada por esa virtud alcanzada. Aunque claramente, la excelencia y la perfección no es algo muy humano. De ahí que existan tantas frustraciones.
En conclusión: si se trata de ser feliz, aspiro al menos poder tener la voluntad y la oportunidad de poder cumplir de forma virtuosa con los dilemas de la vida. Vivir de la forma más decente que se pueda y disfrutar de cada experiencia. Soy feliz cuando logro una meta personal, cuando convivo con mi familia, amigos y mascotas, cuando soy consciente del mundo, cuando trato de enmendar mis errores, cuando amo y soy amada, cuando soy fiel a mi misma, cuando percibo quién soy, cuando contemplo algo hermoso y muchas cosas más. Finalmente amigos míos, esa es mi perspectiva del asunto . Casa quién tendrá su opinión sobre ello. Sin más que decir, muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí. Un abrazo.
