may: what makes you happy?
Main Points of Class
Happiness is the main goal of every person’s life; if you do not have a correct and clear idea of what makes you happy, you will not be able to direct your own life and make good choices.
What are the four levels of happiness?
External goods and immediate physical gratification or pleasures
Being admired by others
Dedicating oneself to the good of those around you
Friendship with God and with others for the love of God
Happiness is found primarily in contributing to the good of those around you (family, friends, one’s country, the whole world, and, ultimately, God).
You possess the goods to which you dedicate (give) yourself. If you just look out for yourself, you end up with very little happiness.
In-class Activity: The Grade Banquet
