Term Two: True Happiness

In term two we concentrate on one essential aspect of this self-knowledge, namely happiness.

• What is happiness ?
• Is it natural to a man or woman ?
• How may it be experienced fully and how is it lost ?
• Is it permanent or transient ?
• What is the effect of gaining happiness at the expense of another person’s happiness ?

These are some of the questions that we consider because the desire for happiness is such a driving force both in individuals and for mankind itself. If we can understand the true nature of happiness we will have gone a long way to understanding ourselves and the nature of the world in which we live.
