Fun that leads to happiness ...
Adolescence should be the right time to begin to assert and crystallize the educational process that began in childhood, but social trends mark a fundamental interest only on what distinguishes by "good time", "Entertainment", "play", "pleasure", "do what we like." The young man's life is very complex, but we can notice a general willingness to prioritize only what we call "fun." This is identified only with individual moments of pleasure where "had fun" but it is very ephemeral, it covers a very superficial dimension of human beings and not part of the "essentials" of man. We say that is not essential, because even humanly necessary, do not respond directly to happiness. Happiness, by contrast, refers to something very deep, covering the whole being, which goes beyond the particular moments of satisfaction and sadness ... as it responds to basic moral values \u200b\u200bof human beings ...
clarify that the fun is neither bad nor good in itself, but is only "fun" and therefore depend on the values \u200b\u200bbehind it. For example playing football is directly related to fun, but friendship, camaraderie and solidarity that may be behind football are values \u200b\u200bthat fill the hearts of people and this is directly related to happiness. We see in the same action found happiness and fun but yet are very different things. Why play football can also be very funny and yet not make us happy. That is, if I intend to win in a dirty and selfish, the fun may be present, but happiness is probably not ... I'll be throwing away the value of friendship and eventually a vacuum can be curdled within me.
Many young people for their natural immaturity, and many other adults for their mediocrity (and also by their lack of maturity!), Do not drive too this and do not distinguish the fundamental difference between being happy and having fun. reign slogans like "do what you like", "in life is to enjoy," if the pass right, all right ", etc. pretend to find happiness in the fleeting moment of fun, corrupting all the values \u200b\u200bso that the fun is greater. No notice can be fun without happiness, and happiness and no play.
Furthermore adults making a big mistake in their efforts to educate young people wanting to create value by saying that "bad is not fun." Often hear phrases like: "Do you need alcohol to have fun?" "Do you think of good taste that joke?" "You call that a good time?" ... This is false, a mature person should be aware that fun, fun like (forgive the redundancy) is bad or good, even if bad can it even more fun. The fundamental difference between bad and good fun fun is that bad fun does not lead to happiness for more than fun. A young barbarian can pass when a school day basurea and discriminates against a partner, or drink alcohol excessively, or go to a brothel with friends, or bursts of punching another boy, or taking ecstasy at a rave party , or go with three women at once. You can have fun a lot but still be a void for lack of health, love, peace, friendship, fulfillment, love and so on. ... and that true happiness will go away.
The great difficulty of this issue is that the lack of fun is noticed instantly and easily modifiable, but the absence of happiness only noticed as the years go by and we do not find meaning in life. We get into the routine of fear to think what we did in our lives ...
But go to the specific good What can a youngster like us with this issue? That is, he realizes that his rhyme of happiness is not convincing in their environment, it sounds too "cheesy" too subjective, too theoretical ... society on the other hand has consistently specific times and new leisure and entertainment ... and growing fewer transmit values \u200b\u200band more the immaturity that promote, as part of a bad fun ... More and more types of drugs, different sexual lifestyles, different types of violence ... Young people are constantly eating and trying everything. The bad fun, is taking hold of them, makes them vicious (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, lust, individualism, violence) ... and increasingly find it more difficult to get out of those environments ... because nothing like that much fun ... and want more, more and more.
The key is not to suppress the fun and many pleasures ... but you need to know complement and lead towards a greater good ... We know from experience that paths to the fun are more attractive than the road to happiness ... that's why we use the fun along with the virtues, values \u200b\u200band principles ... The challenge of mature young man who has clear ideas, who knows where it goes, who knows who is, that has values \u200b\u200bthat transcend ... is not only to educate, train and try to make other young people to mature, to rethink his life and discover the meaning happiness ... but attract the same way that attracts the world, with moments Funny, but in a good and healthy. You may have to exercise imagination and creativity. Because we can not say "Venite
