I often practice my strengths and
virtues almost every day depending on the situation I am in. I am used to
practice my virtues almost all the time like being more patient. And there are
certain times that you don’t need to be more patient and kind, to avoid people
from abusing you. It is good to practice your strengths and virtues but we also
know that too much good things will yield bad results.
Other people can
say that these traits are a key to happiness in life but I say that it can only
make you happy for just a moment depending on the situation. For me these
traits are only the key for happiness but not the happy life.
For some, happiness relies on money. In some cases, hacking means money. Would you do hacking it if its outcome is a sure happiness of your family? What particular Aristotle theory contradicts this concept? Discuss.
I won’t surely do
hacking even if it means the happiness of my family for it is illegal and very
unethical. True happiness cannot be achieved if someone is harmed for the sake
of other person’s happiness. For me, being happy when someone is unhappy is
kind of unrelieved situation. My conscience always haunts me for every unethical
action that I’m doing.
Aristotle’s theory of happiness contradicts this
concept. Happiness depends on acquiring a moral character where one displays
his virtues (generosity, friendship, justice, courage & citizenship). Hacking
or stealing is not an action of one’s generosity, even if it means happiness of
you’re family, someone is harmed. Happiness requires intellectual contemplation
and one should consider the consequences of his actions.
