1. Degree of Happiness

The article “The Degree of Happiness” written by Betrand Russell who is a British philosopher has made me realised several things that I never noticed about the word “happy” before.  he stated that the happiness that is only to those who can read or write are emotionally simple and are obtainable from their work – a satisfaction that is so great, felt and experienced very strongly that they can derive pleasure from eating and even marrying ; the men of science or scientists. It is quite astonishing on how merely the men of science capable of achieving happiness only from the satisfaction of their work instead of marrying, spend some quality time with their family, et cetera.

From my review, this article is trying to persuade us, to make us understand and respect each other point of view about happiness. To me, I would like to do something that I like because that is my happiness. People’s perception are different, don’t do something that will make you regret, just be yourself. So its easier to grab the happiness with you.
