Human Relationships and Happiness
Happiness is only experienced when you share it with others around you. Your friends, family, significant others, peers, and books all show a person how it is better to share your happiness with others than to experience it by yourself. In songs the artists always sing about how they are happier with people and how it is hard to share things by being alone. Although being alone can be nice and it gives you a feeling of serenity, it isnt the same as it would be with someone else because you are able to share it with family, friends, significant others, and books. All of these factors help with how you experience your own happiness.
Family is a key part to a persons happiness. Your mother and father have always been a part of your life and have witnessed how you express your feelings. For starters they are always there for support. Support is the biggest thing they can give you and my parents have given me their support since day one. Knowing that I have it makes me realize that sharing my decisions with them gives me happiness. Also by telling them about my decision of what college I wanted to go to shows I have their support because I am here now and I couldnt ask to be anywhere better. I realized that if I wasnt able to share my decision about college with them it wouldnt be as enjoyable. Along with support, there were my parents always pushing me towards success. They always pushed me to succeed in dance and to always practice so that in the end I was able to get the satisfaction of being awarded with what I deserved. They pushed me to always do the best I could in school and to accomplish something like graduating. Many people dont usually have that drive or that push to succeed in anything they do because they dont have someone there to push them in the right direction. To have what some people dont, gives me happiness because I wouldnt have been able to have done it on my own. Lastly, would be that they encouraged my individuality. By having my own individuality without having someone say I wasnt able to be the way I wanted to be is a good feeling. My individuality isnt as distinct as most peoples but I am my own person and my parents always encouraged that. When I told them that I wanted tattoos they said I was to wait until I was seventeen then they would take me themselves and be there when I got them done. When I wanted to dye the bottom half of my hair purple they encouraged it. In my opinion I think that if you dont encourage a childs individuality they will just end up rebelling and go against your wishes, which then results with them not being able to share their happiness with their family. Having the love and support of your family is an amazing feeling when you want to share your happiness with someone rather than sharing it with yourself.
Not only does family give people happiness but friends and youre significant others give you happiness as well.
