The Philosophy of Happiness
In our daily lives, we constantly hear about the topic of happiness. Many people claim that they want to be happy, that they want to achieve happiness, or that they are unhappy. This leads us to reflect on the following questions: Is happiness an objective or subjective concept? Is there "the happiness" or does everyone have their own concept of what it is to be happy? Faced with these doubts, the tendency is to try to deny the existence of happiness. Dangerous temptation, because sometimes it is easier to deny happiness than to accept that it exists and recognize that we do not possess it... We are facing a borderline situation... little discussed and that is almost not reflected in our daily routine ... Have you ever stopped to think about what happiness is? Have you ever wondered why everyone wants you or believes in your existence?

Harioum BhattPublished 10 months ago in WritersThe Voice in My Head When I Write
Recently I have started paying much closer attention to the voice in my head when I write. If you are a writer you probably know what I am talking about, or maybe it’s different for you. For me, the voice is the one that reads the words (‘out loud’) in my head as they move from my fingers, through the keys, to my screen. Depending on the topic of whatever particular writing project I am tackling at the time that voice varies considerably. It moves in tone from haranguing lecturer to sarcastic asshole to gentle comforter, and everything in between. Of course finding the words to match the voice is the real trick, or is it the other way around really? The hard part is finding the voice, the right voice for the right application, and then channeling that voice to the page in a way that conveys what the spoken word can, but in (at least) one less dimension. Without the spoken voice and body language that goes with it communicating what you really want to convey, what you really think, can be what feels like an impossible task. The joy of writing for me comes on those few occasions when that task is managed effortlessly and the words on the page and the voice in my head align just so. When that happens the missing dimension(s) disappears, and it is like I am there in the screen with the words talking directly to the reader. Like I have left a part of myself on the page, an imprint of my actual presence, but without all the messiness that comes with physical interactions between strangers. I get to say my peace, the stranger (reader) can take it or leave it, love it or hate it. In either case I did what I set out to do, and they got stuck with a little taste of my voice in their head if only for a brief moment in time. Imagine living with that voice for your entire life. That would suck now wouldn’t it?
Everyday JunglistPublished 10 months ago in Writers"A Journey of Words: From First Steps to Uncharted Horizons"
I remember the first piece I ever wrote vividly, as if it were yesterday. I was a wide-eyed twelve-year-old, armed with a notebook and a pencil, ready to embark on a literary adventure. The piece was a short story titled "The Lost Star," a tale of a young star who fell from the sky and embarked on a quest to find its way back home. Looking back now, that piece represents not just the beginning of my writing journey, but also a snapshot of my nascent creative voice and the dreams that fueled my imagination.
