Aristotle Ethics, Bk I, Ch 5 What is happiness for a human being? Here Aristotle promptly rejects pleasure, honor, and wealth. (I think this dismissal of honor is especially sharp and worth meditating on frequently)

Aristotle's view really challenges our ideas about happiness. It's thought-provoking to consider how we often seek validation through honor instead of finding fulfillment within. What do you think he suggests instead?

Aristotle’s makes us rethink happiness. Instead of pursuing honor for validation, how do you think we can find true fulfillment?

Anne Frank had it worked out at a very young age. I wish more people would follow her wise words.

Happiness is fleeting, only coming in moments. Honor is something more sticky, something you can build and carry with you

It is like Helen Keller said , "Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves"

He’s talking about devoting to others But how long can someone do that if said devotion isn’t reciprocated?

Yup, Pleasure is shared with animals and lacks higher fulfillment; wealth is merely a means to other ends; and honor depends on others' perceptions and is sought as recognition of virtue, not for its own sake. True happiness for Aristotle is the activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, which is self-sufficient and the ultimate goal of human life. By focusing on cultivating virtue, we engage in a more meaningful and fulfilling life, one that isn't dependent on external circumstances or others' approval. This approach encourages personal growth, integrity, and self-sufficiency. The happiness most people pursue is the fleeting kind, very sad
