人類的幸福SAT閲讀材料
Human relationships are consistently found to be the most important correlation with human happiness.
A widely publicized study from 2008 in the British Medical Journal reported that happiness in social networks may spread from person to archers followed nearly 5000 individuals for 20 years in the long-standing Framingham Heart Study and found clusters of happiness and unhappiness that spread up to 3 degrees of separation on average. Happiness tended to spread through close relationships like friends, siblings, spouses, and next-door neighbors, and the researchers reported that happiness spread more consistently than unhappiness through the network. Moreover, the structure of the social network appeared to have an impact on happiness, as people who were very central were significantly more likely to be happy than those on the periphery of the network. Overall, the results suggest that happiness might spread through a population like a virus.
Philosophical views
The Chinese Confucian thinker Mencius, who 2300 years ago sought to give advice to the ruthless political leaders of the warring states period, was convinced that the mind played a mediating role between the lesser self and the greater self and that getting the priorities right between these two would lead to sage-hood. He argued that if we did not feel satisfaction or pleasure in nourishing one s vital force with righteous deeds , that force would shrivel up . More specifically, he mentions the experience of intoxicating joy if one celebrates the practice of the great virtues, especially through music.
