Insights into happiness of a common citizen of the world 

For centuries there is an unstoppable inquisitiveness in exploring the sources of human’s gratification and felicity. This is evident from the philosophy, sociology, psychology, biology, economics, business, literature, culture and all other subjective fields where authors and scientists have put their best efforts in finding treasures of knowledge either to prove their own occult desire for doing so or to provide benefit to the humanity at large where provision of benefits are correlated with attainment of complacency. For instance, Harvard Business Review’s famous article ‘’How will you measure your life’’ has been read the most after its publication which had its focus on how can final graduate students would make sure they find happiness in their careers. Further, right from the ancient history BCE; where author Ebers Papyrus addressed the issue of clinical depression till twenty-first century where American Psychiatric Association (APA) is still exploring ‘’mental disorders’’ prove the fact that quest for happy survival is foremost and momentous interest and need for the mankind.

Human tears and smile provides biological reasoning behind different emotional states. It’s an apparent observation that human’s happiness is dependent on positive life events; it’s abundantly clear from this that if one goes through the most traumatic stages of life will definitely shed tears. However, how can an emotional state be controlled and turned into one’s favor where internal responsive system is programmed in such a way that comes in terms with the one’s psychodynamics further translating into a smile in nature-contradicting events.

The answer to this lies in how human does the self-evaluation which functions as his responsive system to different set of circumstances. Self-evaluation in terms of one’s action could either be naturally/randomly or rationally performed.

Let’s consider human self-evaluation patterns. We all evaluate our current identities with respect to our self-perception knowledge, societal-perception knowledge, jurisprudence knowledge, religious knowledge or psychological knowledge. The self-perception knowledge is all composed of a variety system where its influenced by all other knowledges time to time and which existence is inevitable.

How a common citizen from any status class performs the self-evaluation to achieve complacency where the environment and world system is largely ‘’corruptionally composed’’ as quoted by various journalists in talk shows and newspapers and common people in college/ university café-terias, hotels, huts, family gatherings, offices etc.

Lets consider different human roles on the planet:

An M.Phill student who has to produce researches in order to prove his credibility as a researcher in a particular field suppose is a highest CGPA scorer in his previous degree and now carry a study to publish it in an impact-factor journal. He completes the empirical study after following paid data-collection methods with full dedication but is unhappy with the results which neither prove the hypothesis made nor goes with the theoretical framework of the study. The student with high levels of frustration goes to his supervisor and asks for a help. The supervisor is in a permanent faculty of a renowned university advises him – ‘’I understand you have put hardwork and theoretical framework is absolutely a new-knowledge creation but my experience tells me that you need to manipulate the results a bit to support the theory because it will get published without any criticisms from the reviewer of the highly impact-factor journal’’ A student listens carefully to the supervisor and acts accordingly.

The student perceives himself as a contributive being to the body of knowledge. The society further has influenced him while he acted upon supervisor’s advice and changed the original results of the study; which will make his study published and would increase his worth as a researcher. Therefore, self-perception knowledge after being influenced by societal-perception knowledge is bringing a positive evaluation of his own self further bringing a smile on his face which is a sign of complacency. This self-evaluation of this student would be criticized by those people who evaluate the environment with respect to either religious or psychological knowledge. They might say that student’s gratification is an achievement but attained by wrong means; further falsely interpreted by student himself as a right decision; which is known as ignorance in other words.

In another instance, a lady who runs a beauty parlor put second-beat quality products. In her self-evaluation; she perceives she is doing good work by fulfilling people demand. Somewhere her past-life experiences made her learn the society is more fashion and beauty conscious that it becomes vulnerable without cognitive evaluations of the beauty- services. People evaluating with respect to jurisprudence knowledge might question the mission and practice of such services. However, same like the previous case; the owner of the parlor is satisfied with what she is doing.

Happiness and having that smile on your face makes you beautiful, achieving something in life is beautiful but the pragmatism of a peaceful life describes a different story. Many Africans live their lives without clothes and in hot environments with unhappy faces. Prisoners who were victims of genocide wrote great books and showed the world many dimensions towards understanding of life. They were apparently not happy because of the many ruined precious years in confinement. Happiness may not be the aim of a large population on the face of earth. In fact, aim's reality is to creat something with truth and honesty. When you are truthful; it’s confirmed you would have to work extreme harder, encounter violent opposition, getting into controversies and massive criticisms. The presence of all of them in life-processes might teach and make you learn excessively; the learning which will serve as a great resource for a change in the world tomorrow. By then your life would become revolution and your aims would become the collective reality on which the universe is based upon which might bring storm of failures and disappointments and very little happiness in the end.
