Key to Happiness

Happiness. It is what all we tend to since childhood. A child feels the happiness from parents’ love, petting up to desired toy or candy. These are the boundaries of happiness in childhood. By age they change. The parents’ love and the favorite toy are not sufficient to make you happy any longer.

At school age the happiness has very bright and material nature. If in childhood the baby seems not to be able to analyze the surrounding events or compare the facts and situations, so at school age this happens. At teenage the happiness has certainty due to physical structure, look, fine pen, rubber with smell, nowadays also with the degree of technical equipments capacity (iPhone, iPad, and notebook). Such approach may continue in teenage years depending on change of value system during the formation of personality.

As I have already mentioned the boundaries of happiness widen, get narrower or certainty by the years, in other words they change. Each has his own definition of happiness. For one it has material nature, for another it is something abstract, spiritual. Although, in both cases the sense of happiness refers to inner feelings. You are happy if you are satisfied from inside not taking into account whether the source is of a material or spiritual nature.

Examining the issue more enlarged, in the global sense I have come to a conclusion that to achieve full happiness each should keep the norms of coexistence starting form the interpersonal level up to universal. Especially in case of the latest geopolitical and economic globalization the necessity has increased. The world is being globalized. Today, when the world, all types of communication are so available it is hard to avoid the globalization. There exist such issues which concern all and to avoid them is impossible. As a prove to this can serve the conversion of G6 (group of six) to G8 and today already to G20. Undeniable proof.

The human being and the world develop in parallel with some deviations of course and in many cases not at the same time and tuneful. During the development of the world and humanity all the observations, comparisons are projected on human-family-state tridimensional model. As the state can be observed on a family model, in the same way the world and all the staff happening in it can be analyzed on the same model. The family is happy if there exists peace and love, emphasis on peace. There is no peace if the norms of coexistence are not kept. The norms of coexistence are the natural human rights, which are adopted in different legal norms and international conventions. The democratic values are undeniable anymore. They are reality this way or the other. Let me finish my thought with this, “the natural human rights can be limited where the other’s natural human rights begin”. And exactly this let us consider as the key to happiness. This is the only formula to happiness.

It doesn’t matter how much people love each other if even a single norm of coexistence breaks so this leads to sad results. In global sense this severance leads to wars, and on interpersonal level leads to different conflicts, complaints, disappointments because of which a human being doesn’t feel himself happy any longer.
I think that a corresponding legal norm should be carried out on interpersonal, intercultural and humanity coexistence so that people can have a chance to achieve their happiness legally and in case of necessity will be able to restore the violated rights of happiness.

And if serious, so as an example of such a legal norm can be considered the institute of marital agreement in developed countries. This way or the other we all are familiar with the marital agreements. As to me a perfect solution on interpersonal level.

All in this world starts and ends on interpersonal level.
