What is happiness? Although the definition of happiness, pleasure, and joy may seem easy at first glance, unfortunately we still do not have a comprehensive definition of it. Is happiness dependent on an internal and subjective matter in an individual, where the individual, through experiencing personal pleasure, calls it happiness? If happiness is an internal and derived from the personal experience of the individual, then in this case, happiness for each person is a specific and rare matter that is not necessarily the same as the happiness experienced by others, and we will be faced with different definitions of happiness depending on each person’s perspective. This is what the prominent philosopher Søren Kierkegaard struggled with and ultimately, as a philosopher, admitted his defeat in defining happiness by resorting to the “personal experience of happiness.” Moreover, is happiness a passing matter like eating food or drinking a refreshing drink, where we only feel pleasure while consuming it and then forget about it, or is it something that is generally repeated? On the

Plato, in his Republic, acknowledges the happiness that comes from sensory experiences such as seeing, hearing, and smelling, but he ranks these types of happiness lower and believes that true happiness (spiritual or inner) can only be achieved under the rule of a “philosopher-king” in the ideal city, where it is possible through the use of reason, wisdom, and justice. In fact, Plato believes that happiness and pleasure are not individual matters, but rather collective, and can be achieved through participation in political life with a combination of virtue and justice, leading to a god-like life. Aristotle, a student of Plato, perhaps understood the danger of this type of pleasure coming from his teacher and in his book Nicomachean Ethics, he focused more on materialistic life and even claimed that to live a happy and pleasurable life, one must have a certain level of financial stability. For Aristotle, alongside virtue and financial stability, moderation in all aspects of life, both private and

Darwin says that I was passing by a place when I heard the conversation of two children. When a four-year-old child was asked what happiness is, he answered: “Laughing, talking, and kissing.” Darwin says it is very difficult to provide a more comprehensive definition. Or happiness can be summarized in four actions from the perspective of an Afghan man: taking a hot bath, spending time with friends in youth, spending time with your spouse, and seeing your son grow into a man. Perhaps it is better to accept a kind of relativism in defining happiness, because happiness is also a personal matter; whatever it may be, the definition and purpose of life differs for each person and imposing one type of happiness and one desired way of life can lead to fascism and totalitarianism, as we have seen in Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, and even in our own country today. For example, someone may find double pleasure in walking under the sun outside the city on a holiday, while for someone

Here, we are faced with a different type of equation; how can we be sure of the average happiness of the people? In surveys and studies, there is a problem known as “sampling bias” or biased surveys, which exacerbates this issue. For example, due to a certain mindset and ideology, the institution conducting the surveys may ask questions that are likely to have favorable answers and align with the ideas of the active institution. Or they may ask questions based on a specific age group, region, ethnicity, or economic status, where the answers are already assumed and likely to be favorable to the same institution. In surveys, fairness must be observed to a certain extent across all age groups, ethnicities, religions, urban-rural areas, and social classes in order to reach an acceptable and close-to-truth result. Additionally, one must understand the culture and customs of the people, such as introversion, shyness, etc., in order to design the survey. For example, survey

Despite all of this, upon reflecting on the definition of happiness and joy in these past few days, I have come to the realization that this theory may be more desirable for me: “Happiness and joy may be the absence of repeated and prolonged pain, suffering, and darkness.” Of course, it is clear that someone may not experience pain and suffering, but also not feel happiness and joy; meaning this contradiction will always exist in definitions. Or the emphasis on the repeated and prolonged is because humans are made up of blood and flesh, and all of us, or those we love, may be afflicted with illness, pain, and suffering, and a certain level of pain and darkness in human life may be a normal occurrence. But when this pain and suffering goes beyond a certain limit, then we can say that we are facing a lack of happiness in life and our pain and suffering outweigh our happiness and joy.
