Happiness

Happiness is a natural state, not an utopia. Children and the rest of beings need very little to be happy. An attachment to a healthy circle might be just enough. For the rest, they just follow spiral paths unconsciously.

However, as we grow, our chances of being unhappy or making others unhappy also grow. What goes wrong? Look at these suspects: detachment, egotism, artificiality, complication, dependency, fight, and accumulation.

Reaching personal happiness means different things to different people, and there is no formula that satisfies everyone. It is simpler to observe when a community is suffering or thriving, and focus on the factors that define the trend.

The path of human happiness:


 * 1) Life, obviously.
 * 2) Freedom, physical and mental.
 * 3) Dignity, the social minimum.
 * 4) Expression, the social maximum.
 * 5) Reaching this level, Happiness shouldn't be far.

This applies to you as much as to everyone.

Destroying happiness is a lot easier than reestablishing it. Spiral focuses on ways to preserve and grow social happiness.
