Happiness, the Most Vague and Clear Thing

 

I think happiness is the most vague stuff in the word world. Nevertheless, there are common sources that many people acknowledge as the root of happiness. One of them is a hobby. Actually, having some hobbies let persons live their life more plentiful and happier.

One of the reasons is, first, a hobby needs times. Something makes people not be able to realize the time passage is mostly happy thing. A hobby is kind of that activity. The more people spend times in their hobby, the more happiness would be brought to them. Because seeing the improvement in the area of the hobby could give a satisfaction to person. That time is not a wasted time. It is an investment for happiness and life.

            Next, a hobby plays an important role in connecting people. All people need a relationship like Aristotle said, “Man is by nature a social animal”. One of the easy ways to find friends is to join a club for a specific hobby. People meet and communicate about not only the issues of hobby but also normal topic of their life. They don’t meet only for their hobby. Through the hobby that allows people to gather upon common ground, it can be the route for people’s connection. Of course it is occurred both in offline and online. By being a friend with many people, a person could feel happiness.

            Finally, enjoying life with hobby makes persons’ life full of vitality. Focusing on something and communication is a condition of meaningful and happy life. No-purpose driven life and lonely life is the worst thing that people can imagine. Moreover, a hobby is admitted as one of the strings of happiness. Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou, the 19th President of France, pointed sports, foreign language, instrument, cook, and volunteer work as a well-living in his book. Many of them are related in a hobby. Through them we can live our lives happily and well.

            Being happy with hobby is so easy to everyone. Even walking outside could be a hobby. Make your life more fruitful with focusing on what you like and want to do. Do not let your pastime become just past and gone time with spending to watching TV or surfing the Internet “alone”. It has worth to be more significant and remarkable time. Even if your life situation sometime is not what you want, the hobby will let you feel alive and find happiness.
