Happiness
Happiness. Everything we do as humans is influenced by this emotional state. People look for, and act to achieve each person’s individual concept of happiness. I believe it to be the most sincere and fickle of any of emotion I've ever felt. It's influenced by everything and is ever-changing for most of our lives. I could go on about virtue ethics. The idea that an action is good if it maximises happiness, and vice versa. Or I could list the different things which make me happy. Or I could do neither. The best advice I could ever give myself is to hold on to the joy I take from small things. It's the random acts of kindness which have the power to transform someone's mood from foul to fantastic. It's when someone notices that you're unhappy, and you allow yourself to be vulnerable, and you're accepted for your vulnerabilities and your shortcomings.
