Subjective notion of happiness has been studied in many disciplines over centuries. People spend all the life searching for happiness and peace. They try to reach frivolous dreams in a hope to find happiness. The thing is that people need to look inside themselves and to find balance and harmony to become happy.
Happiness is not a mere dream a person has to reach and become happy. It is the state of mind a person creates right now. Happiness is a reaction to actions that happen to a person. Consequently, happiness is a person’s positive attitude to the life in general and to some certain moments in the life in particular. Happiness means a conscious life for the major character of ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ written by Albom. Although he knows he has ALS and will die soon, he tries to grasp every happy moment of his life.
Morrie finds happiness in a communication with his family and a friend. ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ is a vivid example of the triumph of the human spirit in a world of chaos, suffering and death. Morrie has a strong spirit that does not bend down in the face of death trying to live happy last moments. He teaches us a lesson – to live the life to the fullest pointing out that ‘when you learn how to die, you learn how to live’.
A human being cannot be happy all the time. In general, happiness is an abstract notion and everyone has its own understanding of it. In ‘The stolen party’ Liliana Hecker illustrates the death of a delusion of a young girl Rosaura. She is treated by Senora Ines as a servant allowing only Rosaura into the kitchen as she knows her house ‘so much better than the others’ and giving her the payment for her services during the party. Rosaura is a victim of a society who has got into a dehumanizing situation because of her social position. She cannot be happy under no circumstances with people who surround her. Thus, according to the author happiness is in a higher social position of a person. People of equal status communicate with each other as equal, thus, they can find happiness in it. Even in a dehumanizing situation a person can find happiness, like Rosaura does.
