Three Channels of Happiness

Tweet

I have shortlisted three ways of finding happiness in life. 1. Feel Good Pleasures Tasty food, love from the desired person, scenic beauty, etc make the first channel of happiness providing pleasures through five sensory organs sensing scenes, sounds, touches, smells, and tastes. These sensuous pleasures are transient for short duration but may lead to the person's happiness if repeated frequently. 2. Happiness of Moral Deeds Those who realize that human life has a higher purpose than just surviving and reproducing find happiness in moral deeds such as compassion for others, charities, creative works, etc in a selfless way. 3. Autotellic Experiences When a person is fully engrossed in something that that he/she misses his/her conscious self, sense of time and nothing else attracts his/her attention, he/she finds a real happiness not only after performing the task but during the performance itself.
