Search for Happiness
By saying happiness what comes first to your mind? It
changes person to person according his thought and life style. For some people
smiling face, mountains, sea, his mother come in mind while for some people her
boy friend or vice versa, sleeping or lots of things depending on imagination.
For me when I think of happiness comfort and peace come first in mind. Then
there occur the chains of things in my mind as everyone. Unsurprisingly, all
thoughts of happiness are positive ones. Why I chose this topic is the book
named “Hector and Search for Happiness” written by Francois Lelord.The book’s
cover page is very colorful and funny so it got my attention. I wandered
whether happiness could be searched and read the book. Its language is very
fluent and understandable. I did not encounter like this search before so I
also thought that I could search it as well after reading his experience.
Sometimes people feel depressed and upset so for that times it could work. Even
the book explained kind of common happenings in our life I liked it because it
is an investigation and has detailed information. Hector is a psychiatrist and
he cures people who have mental illnesses. Almost all patients are unhappy with
their lives. Therefore, Hector himself wandered if there is a way to find out
happiness and he goes to abroad to many countries. When he sees the happy
stances on people around him he takes notes about them. To illustrate: “Many people think happiness is being richer or more important.”, "Many people only see their happiness in the future",“ Happiness is sometimes not understanding or not knowing.”, “Happiness is to feel completely alive.”. Through the story he had confusion with his relationship
with his girl friend as well. He meets a Japan girl and had relationship with her.
However, in the end he leaves her. Still, he misses the times which he had with
her. Then, he comes to China and meets with the professor whose profession is
looking for happiness. He admires Hector and his findings. At the same time he
told that almost all his findings are the same with his. Considering my
position I also find interesting things about people and myself at being happy.
When we humor and have free time we are happy as a student. Or we are happy
when we sleep, watch films, eat, and think maybe. I sometimes feel happy when I
think especially in bus. I want not to reach my bus station in the bus. To all
these positive happy stances there are lots of unusual or unaccepted stances
that people are happy with them. To illustrate, murdering people make serial
killer feel happy. Smoking, being drank or living in a mess make some people
extremely happy. Hector did not handle these. What can we say for these? Are
they normal? Perhaps they assume us as we assume them. I mean they may think us
crazy as we are happy when we do good things. As a result, it depends people to
be happy.
