The Happiness
Introduction
Russell argues, to become happy, we must get rid of unhappiness. We must try to understand which things make us unhappy. That’s why he has divided the book into two parts. The first part deals with the causes of unhappiness, and the second part explores the causes of happiness. For Russell, the causes of various kinds of unhappiness lie partly in the social system, partly in individual psychology. “My purpose is to suggest a cure for the ordinary day-to-day unhappiness from which most people in civilized countries suffer, and which is all the more unbearable because, having no obvious external cause, it appears inescapable,” writes Bertrand Russell in his 1930 book ‘The Conquest of Happiness’. It is not a book on philosophical theory. Instead, Russell draws on his own life, his own experiences as an unhappy child and young man, to try and understand what makes us unhappy and how we could be happier. Russell begins by clarifying that unhappiness is not some kind of personal fault of the unhappy person. I believe this unhappiness to be very largely due to mistaken views of the world, mistaken ethics, mistaken habits of life, leading to destruction of that natural zest and appetite for possible things upon which all happiness, whether of men or animals, ultimately depends. (‘The Conquest of Happiness’)
Society certainly also plays a part in making people unhappy, especially through endorsing those “mistaken habits” and “mistaken views of the world” that cause people to become miserable. But since it is this “natural zest and appetite” that makes a life happy, each one of us can improve their happiness without needing to wait for a change in society. Each one of us has the power to correct their mistaken assumptions about the world and, through clearly understanding the roots of unhappiness, to finally create a happy life for ourselves.

Ode intimations to immortality
The poem discusses the speaker's lost ability to see nature as divinely glorious in his childhood. As a child, he viewed nature as clothed in "celestial light" and the "glory and freshness of a dream." Now as an adult, he has lost this visionary perspective and can no longer see nature in this mystical way, no matter where he turns. The speaker laments this inability to recapture the sense of wonder he experienced as a child.
The Study of Poetry - Matthew Arnold
Matthew Arnold viewed poetry as the "criticism of life" that is governed by poetic truth and beauty. He believed the best poetry has seriousness of substance combined with superior style and diction. Arnold analyzed poets using his "touchstone method" of comparison and advocated for disinterested criticism. However, critics argue he did not always practice disinterested criticism and overemphasized morality. Overall, Arnold made significant contributions to literary criticism through his analysis of poets and emphasis on poetry's relationship to interpreting life.
Samuel taylor coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was a leader of Romantic poetry. He divided imagination into primary and secondary forms. Primary imagination is a creative faculty possessed by all, while secondary imagination is the conscious, creative power of poets. Coleridge believed the purpose of poetry was to give pleasure, and defined a poem as having organic unity and seeking to produce immediate pleasure in readers through the willing suspension of disbelief. He saw imagination as the key distinguishing factor of a true poet.
Joseph addison
Joseph Addison was an 18th century English essayist and satirist who is best known for his modern essays published in The Tatler and The Spectator magazines. He co-founded The Spectator with his friend Richard Steele and also contributed to The Tatler. Addison is considered to have played a large role in developing the modern essay and his works from The Tatler and The Spectator helped establish a new style of English prose in the 18th century and are seen as preparing the way for the modern novel.
John dryden
John Dryden (1631-1700) was an influential English poet, literary critic, translator and playwright. He established the heroic couplet as the dominant poetic form of the 18th century. As a poet, he published works celebrating historical events that established him as the preeminent poet of his generation. As a playwright, he wrote successful plays after Shakespeare, including heroic plays, tragicomedies and tragedies. He also translated major classical works into English. Dryden made massive contributions to English literature as one of the most important figures of the Restoration period.
Hamlet & his problems
T.S. Eliot's 1919 essay "Hamlet and His Problems" argues that Shakespeare's Hamlet is an artistic failure because the play does not adequately convey Hamlet's emotions through external events (the objective correlative). Eliot claims Hamlet attempts to portray too many complex emotions, like Hamlet's disgust for his mother Gertrude's incestuous marriage, without sufficient dramatic events to evoke these feelings in the audience. However, the document argues Eliot fails to consider how an Elizabethan audience would have understood Hamlet's intense emotions given the cultural context of the time regarding marriage and family. It asserts Shakespeare accurately portrayed the genuine rage Hamlet and original viewers would feel toward Claudius for his crimes, and Eliot
Preface to shakespear
Samuel Johnson wrote the preface to Shakespeare's plays in which he analyzed Shakespeare's style and characters. Johnson acknowledged Shakespeare's genius but also discussed three main faults: immoral plots, disregarding time and place unities, and loose plots. Johnson argued that critics should judge works based on their merits rather than following outdated conventions. He believed Shakespeare followed the unity of action but intentionally disregarded the unities of time and place, which was acceptable for history plays depicting events over long periods. Overall, Johnson provided a balanced analysis of Shakespeare's strengths and weaknesses through a classic critical lens.

The document provides biographical details about Chaucer and discusses his major works and his significant contributions to early English literature.
The conquest of happiness according bertrand russell
Bertrand Arthur William Russell was one of the most influential mathematicians, philosophers and logicians who lived in the twentieth century. The Conquista da felicidade (Conquest of Happiness), one of the works of Bertrand Russell, represents a very important contribution to the debate on the question of happiness (RUSSELL, Bertrand. A Conquista da Felicidade. Rio: Editora Nova Fronteira, 2015). For Bertrand Russell, the first cause of happiness that can be sought by all men is pleasure. For pleasure, one must understand the achievement of something that overcomes some obstacle. Russell understands that man always craves pleasure and he can only be reached when the difficulties in seeking it are overcome.
Apology for poetry (sir philip sidney)
Sidney's 'Apology for Poetry' defends poetry on two grounds: that it is of divine origin and provides social utility. Sidney argues that poetry was one of the earliest forms of education and was used in the Bible to praise God. He asserts that poetry can both teach and delight audiences by providing examples of virtue and vice. While some accuse poetry of being unprofitable or misleading, Sidney claims poetry aims to inspire moral elevation, not sin. He also notes that Plato himself drew on poetry and only banned certain poets, not poetry itself.
Samuel johnson
Samuel Johnson lived from 1709 to 1784 in England. He suffered illnesses as a child but still showed intelligence. However, he lacked opportunities due to financial problems. He attended Oxford for a year and worked as a teacher and servant. He wrote many periodical essays and works, including his famous Dictionary of the English Language in 1755. His works influenced literature during his lifetime and today through his biographies, criticism, and other writings.
Ode to the west wind
The document provides background information on Percy Bysshe Shelley and his poem "Ode to the West Wind." It summarizes the themes and imagery in the poem, which addresses the powerful west wind and asks it to spread the poet's words throughout the world. The poem expresses Shelley's desire for his political and reformist ideas to incite change, like the wind scattering leaves. The document also discusses Shelley's hopes that poetry could spur political reform, and the historical context of protests in England that influenced his writing of this poem in 1819.
Clture and Anarchy- Mathew Arnold
This document provides an overview of Matthew Arnold's philosophical work "Culture and Anarchy". It discusses how Arnold defines culture as the internal pursuit of social and moral perfection. He categorizes English society into Barbarians, Philistines, and the Populace. Arnold believes culture and anarchy are different, with culture representing an ongoing process of cultivation, while anarchy means a society without government. The document also examines Arnold's views on Hellenism and Hebraism, and how they relate to different approaches to knowledge, faith, and conduct.
Thomas hardy
Thomas Hardy is recognized as a great poet; a great novelist; a story-teller of super excellence. Like Dickens he was a social chronicler of his times.
He studied architecture in King’s College, Cambridge and became the Topper in M.Tech.
Hardy wrote poems all through his life but got recognition as a poet only in the fag end of his life because the themes of most of his poems were far ahead of his time. He wrote more than one thousand poems. More than 1000 poems in eight volumes were published during his life time while many more got published posthumously.
Gulliver's Travels as a satire
This document provides an overview and analysis of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels as a satire. It begins with biographical information on Swift as an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, and poet. It then defines satire and identifies two types: comic and corrosive. The document analyzes Gulliver's four voyages as social satires, with the first to Lilliput satirizing politics, the second to Brobdingnag satirizing the human body, the third to Laputa satirizing human intellect, and the fourth to the Land of Houyhnhnms satirizing human moral shortcomings.

Romanticism and William Wordsworth by Romance Group
William Wordsworth was a prominent English Romantic poet known for his love of nature and emphasis on nature as a moral teacher. This presentation provides biographical information about Wordsworth and discusses key aspects of his work, including his views that nature has a healing power, a living personality, and that it can provide profound thoughts. It also summarizes his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", highlighting how the beauty of daffodils overcomes the poet's loneliness and provides a strong sense of joy through their lively movement.
Sir philip sidney's Apology for poetry
Sir Philip Sidney wrote "An Apology for Poetry" in the 1580s to defend poetry against criticisms. In the summary, Sidney argues that poetry is superior to other fields as it can teach virtue and move people through charm. Poetry uses imitation, not just copying reality, but transforming it or creating new forms. It can depict both virtues and vices in a delightful manner to instruct people. Overall, Sidney establishes poetry's value and defends it as an art form.
The rape of the lock
The document summarizes Alexander Pope's poem "The Rape of the Lock" in 3 sentences:
The poem satirizes a real incident where a Lord cuts a lock of hair from a woman named Belinda's head without her permission. It is written as a mock epic in five cantos using rhymed iambic pentameter and deals with the vanities of humankind in a trivial situation. The summary outlines the plot, which involves Belinda getting ready for a card game, a fight over the stolen lock breaking out, and the lock ultimately becoming a star or constellation.
The Features of The Elizabethan Age
The document summarizes the key features of the Elizabethan Age in England, including that it was a golden age under Queen Elizabeth I from 1558-1603. Some of the defining characteristics of the Elizabethan era were the production of great English poetry and plays, especially by William Shakespeare; a feeling of patriotism and nationalism; and advances in many cultural areas like drama, poetry, prose, and the development of the novel. The Renaissance ideals of humanism and questioning accepted beliefs also influenced English culture during this time period.
Sir Philip Sidney
Sir Philip Sidney (30 November 1554 – 17 October 1586) was an English poet, courtier, scholar, and soldier, who is remembered as one of the most prominent figures of the Elizabethan age. His works include Astrophel and Stella, The Defence of Poesy (also known as The Defence of Poetry or An Apology for Poetry), and The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia.
His artistic contacts were more peaceful and more significant for his lasting fame. During his absence from court, he wrote Astrophel and Stella and the first draft of The Arcadia and The Defence of Poesy. Somewhat earlier, he had met Edmund Spenser, who dedicated The Shepheardes Calender to him. Other literary contacts included membership, along with his friends and fellow poets Fulke Greville, Edward Dyer, Edmund Spenser and Gabriel Harvey, of the (possibly fictitious) 'Areopagus', a humanist endeavour to classicise English verse.
Both through his family heritage and his personal experience (he was in Walsingham's house in Paris during the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre), Sidney was a keenly militant Protestant. In the 1570s, he had persuaded John Casimir to consider proposals for a united Protestant effort against the Roman Catholic Church and Spain. In the early 1580s, he argued unsuccessfully for an assault on Spain itself. Promoted General of Horse in 1583,[1] his enthusiasm for the Protestant struggle was given a free rein when he was appointed governor of Flushing in the Netherlands in 1585. In the Netherlands, he consistently urged boldness on his superior, his uncle the Earl of Leicester. He conducted a successful raid on Spanish forces near Axel in July, 1586.
An early biography of Sidney was written by his friend and schoolfellow, Fulke Greville. While Sidney was traditionally depicted as a staunch and unwavering Protestant, recent biographers such as Katherine Duncan-Jones have suggested that his religious loyalties were more ambiguous. He was known to be friendly and sympathetic towards individual Catholics.
An Apology for Poetry(also known as A Defence of Poesie and The Defence of Poetry) – Sidney wrote the Defence before 1583. It is generally believed that he was at least partly motivated by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright who dedicated his attack on the English stage, The School of Abuse, to Sidney in 1579, but Sidney primarily addresses more general objections to poetry, such as those of Plato. In his essay, Sidney integrates a number of classical and Italian precepts on fiction. The essence of his defence is that poetry, by combining the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, is more effective than either history or philosophy in rousing its readers to virtue. The work also offers important comments on Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage.
Literary Criticism - Essay on Dramatic Poesy
John Dryden has given good criticism for dramatic poesy. Here in this presentation, I've put introduction of the original essay and Dryden's definition of play.
Preface wordsworth
This document summarizes William Wordsworth's preface to Lyrical Ballads published in 1800. It provides background on Wordsworth and his collaboration with Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Lyrical Ballads in 1798. The preface laid out Wordsworth's theory that poetry should be written using ordinary language to describe common sights and sounds and everyday experiences to arouse feelings of tranquility and pleasure in the reader. Wordsworth believed poetry originated from emotions recollected later and the poet acts as an interpreter of those feelings and nature for readers. The document outlines some of Wordsworth's most famous poems and ideas around the role of imagination and poetry's relationship to nature from the preface.
Characteristics of Absurd Theatre
This document provides an overview of the Theatre of the Absurd. It defines the term as theater that represents the absurdity of human existence in a meaningless universe through bizarre or fantastic means. Some key characteristics discussed include questioning existence, distrusting language, using illogical plots and speeches, emphasizing abstract values of life, and lacking clear time, place, or character. The movement was influenced by existentialism and began in experimental Parisian theater before spreading internationally.
Wordsworth as a poet
Here i am presenting paper no.: 3 Literary Theory and criticism, MA English, MK Bhavnagar University. And Submitted to Pro. Dr. Dilip Barad.
Friar Canterbury Tales
The document summarizes Geoffrey Chaucer's portrayal of a friar in his work "The Canterbury Tales". It describes how a friar is meant to live in poverty and humility while helping the poor, but Chaucer's friar, named Hubert, lives luxuriously in rich clothes and keeps money meant for charity. Through this character, Chaucer criticizes the corruption he saw in the church at the time. The friar uses his position to collect money for himself rather than the needy, showing he is religious in name only and not following the true duties of a friar.
The Augustan Age
The document discusses the Augustan Age in England from 1702-1760. It was named after the Roman Emperor Augustus by Oliver Goldsmith to draw a parallel between the golden age of Latin culture under Augustus and the reign of Queen Anne from 1702-1714. The Augustan Age was characterized by the spirit of the Enlightenment and thinkers like John Locke. During this period, England's wealth and status as a world power grew. Notable authors of the time included Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, and Samuel Johnson. New genres like novels and magazines also emerged.
Happiness essay and vocabulary
The document is an essay discussing the author's idea of a happy life. In 3 sentences:
The author believes happiness lies in living within one's means and not being dependent on others financially. High-mindedness and plain living are important, as is having good health, peace of mind, staying productive, and getting along with neighbors by not causing them suffering and trying to alleviate their sorrows. The author's vision of a happy life is presented as practical and attainable, not utopian.

Both through his family heritage and his personal experience (he was in Walsingham's house in Paris during the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre), Sidney was a keenly militant Protestant. In the 1570s, he had persuaded John Casimir to consider proposals for a united Protestant effort against the Roman Catholic Church and Spain. In the early 1580s, he argued unsuccessfully for an assault on Spain itself. Promoted General of Horse in 1583,[1] his enthusiasm for the Protestant struggle was given a free rein when he was appointed governor of Flushing in the Netherlands in 1585. In the Netherlands, he consistently urged boldness on his superior, his uncle the Earl of Leicester. He conducted a successful raid on Spanish forces near Axel in July, 1586.
An early biography of Sidney was written by his friend and schoolfellow, Fulke Greville. While Sidney was traditionally depicted as a staunch and unwavering Protestant, recent biographers such as Katherine Duncan-Jones have suggested that his religious loyalties were more ambiguous. He was known to be friendly and sympathetic towards individual Catholics.
An Apology for Poetry(also known as A Defence of Poesie and The Defence of Poetry) – Sidney wrote the Defence before 1583. It is generally believed that he was at least partly motivated by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright who dedicated his attack on the English stage, The School of Abuse, to Sidney in 1579, but Sidney primarily addresses more general objections to poetry, such as those of Plato. In his essay, Sidney integrates a number of classical and Italian precepts on fiction. The essence of his defence is that poetry, by combining the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, is more effective than either history or philosophy in rousing its readers to virtue. The work also offers important comments on Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage.

John Dryden has given good criticism for dramatic poesy. Here in this presentation, I've put introduction of the original essay and Dryden's definition of play.
Preface wordsworth
This document summarizes William Wordsworth's preface to Lyrical Ballads published in 1800. It provides background on Wordsworth and his collaboration with Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Lyrical Ballads in 1798. The preface laid out Wordsworth's theory that poetry should be written using ordinary language to describe common sights and sounds and everyday experiences to arouse feelings of tranquility and pleasure in the reader. Wordsworth believed poetry originated from emotions recollected later and the poet acts as an interpreter of those feelings and nature for readers. The document outlines some of Wordsworth's most famous poems and ideas around the role of imagination and poetry's relationship to nature from the preface.
Characteristics of Absurd Theatre
This document provides an overview of the Theatre of the Absurd. It defines the term as theater that represents the absurdity of human existence in a meaningless universe through bizarre or fantastic means. Some key characteristics discussed include questioning existence, distrusting language, using illogical plots and speeches, emphasizing abstract values of life, and lacking clear time, place, or character. The movement was influenced by existentialism and began in experimental Parisian theater before spreading internationally.

Friar Canterbury Tales
The document summarizes Geoffrey Chaucer's portrayal of a friar in his work "The Canterbury Tales".

Through this character, Chaucer criticizes the corruption he saw in the church at the time. The friar uses his position to collect money for himself rather than the needy, showing he is religious in name only and not following the true duties of a friar.
The Augustan Age
The document discusses the Augustan Age in England from 1702-1760. It was named after the Roman Emperor Augustus by Oliver Goldsmith to draw a parallel between the golden age of Latin culture under Augustus and the reign of Queen Anne from 1702-1714. The Augustan Age was characterized by the spirit of the Enlightenment and thinkers like John Locke. During this period, England's wealth and status as a world power grew. Notable authors of the time included Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, and Samuel Johnson. New genres like novels and magazines also emerged.

2. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What helps you to be creative?
3. “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” Mary Lou Cook
4. The Target of Life is a very helpful way to understand our individual and collective well-being.
5. When you’re centered in the heart of the Target of Life, you’re at your best and life seems brighter. You see clearly and therefore make optimal decisions. You feel peaceful, loving, energetic, and happy. You’re in a good position to handle just about anything. However, when things happen that go against our desires and expectations, it’s easy to get pulled off center.
6. We experience more fear and negativity. We say and do things we regret. The immune system weakens and our productivity declines. We lose touch with what’s really important to us. Unhealthy stress increases and our sensitivity toward others decreases. And the further away from the center we move, the worse it gets!
7. That’s why it’s so important to catch early signs of stress, and to use all of our creativity to stay as centered as possible. When we are centered in the heart on the Target of Life, difficulties still crop up, but we can handle them much more smoothly and effectively. The more centered we are, the greater our well-being, the wiser our choices, and the more effective we are in everything we do.
8. Creativity is the power to bring something new and useful into existence.
9. You are an enormously creative person! That creativity is always within you, and you must express it in order to experience the satisfaction and joy that is your birthright.
10. Terrorism, widespread public scandals, economic uncertainties, international conflicts, and a host of other problems have launched us into a turbulent, yet potential-filled 21st century. Has the full measure of our creativity ever been needed more?
11. A life brimming with creativity is no longer the luxury of a few; it’s the duty and privilege of all of us.
12. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What are some factors that keep people from becoming more creative?
13. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Roadblocks that typically prevent capable people from expressing their creativity more fully: Thinking “I’m not very creative.” Fear of criticism from others. “That’s not my job.” Stress, Laziness, Self-Criticism. “There’s only one right way.”
14. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Wasting time on nonessentials. “You have to follow the rules.” Too much talk, too little doing. Fear of failure. Resistance to change. Limiting beliefs. Worrying about who gets credit. Lack of faith.
15. Though we express it in different ways and to varying degrees, creativity is a gift that has been given in abundance to each of us.

1 On Happiness And Unhappiness
Happiness and unhappiness depend more on one's attitude than external circumstances. Some key factors that can lead to happiness include focusing on positivity rather than negativity, relaxing, caring for one's health, being selfless rather than self-absorbed, awakening love and compassion for others, developing detachment through renunciation and meditation, helping others in need, and devoting oneself to a noble cause greater than oneself. True happiness comes from living a meaningful life and forgetting oneself through service to humanity.
Success and Happiness
This document compares and contrasts the concepts of success and happiness. It discusses how success is typically defined as the achievement of goals and objectives, while happiness refers more to one's subjective well-being and life satisfaction. While success and achievements can potentially lead to happiness, true happiness comes from within and not from external factors alone. The document also notes that one can be successful but unhappy if not doing something personally fulfilling. Overall, it concludes that both success and happiness are important and complementary, but that happiness may be more essential to define one's true success.
Happiness and sucsess
This document compares and contrasts the concepts of success and happiness. It discusses how success is typically defined as the achievement of goals and objectives, while happiness relates more to one's subjective well-being and life satisfaction. While success and recognition can potentially lead to happiness, true happiness comes from within and not from external factors alone. The document also notes that it is possible to be successful in the eyes of others but unhappy personally, so happiness may be more important than success for well-being and life fulfillment.
What is Happiness?
Happiness comes from our mental attitude and ceasing to worry about things outside of our control, rather than external conditions. It is achieved through pursuing our values and achieving what must be done, rather than pain or self-indulgence. While the Constitution allows us to pursue happiness, we must work to attain it ourselves through being content in any state and not dwelling on the past.
Attitude is everything best
This document provides an overview and summary of the book "Attitude is Everything" by Keith Harrell. The book discusses how developing a positive attitude can lead to success. It explains that life will always present both positive and negative situations and it is up to the individual to choose how they interpret and respond to these situations. The book outlines seven steps to cultivate a positive attitude: 1) understand the power of attitude, 2) take charge of your life choices, 3) identify attitudes that help or hinder you, 4) reframe bad attitudes, 5) find your purpose and passion, 6) be proactive, and 7) discover how to motivate yourself. It also discusses tools like affirmations, self-motivation

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 3. Aim • To advocate rational thinking over irrational thinking • To compel reader towards contemplating world • To reflect upon harms of self-absorption and self-reflection • To inculcate the usefulness of external interests
- 4. Causes of Unhappiness ХInvesting all emotions in one interest while ignoring others. ХLaziness and lethargy ХBoredom ХDetachment from Life of Earth ХWorrying: Deficient Control over thoughts ХMulling over sorrow and lack of competency ХLack of impersonal interests
- 5. ХLack of mental-discipline ХFears ХEnvy ХOverlooking the triviality of things ХExtreme self-love, self-absorption, self-deception ХNon-congenial circumstances ХFamily problems Causes of Unhappiness
- 6. Causes of Happiness • The family • Affection • Zest • Excitement • Work • Impersonal interests
- 7. Even we know causes of happiness but here are certain facts that we cant control, which can make our life unhappy. Happiness is not supposed to happen to you rather you have to conquer it.
- 8. How to conquer happiness? Demolishing egotism and considering yourself a normal human being Stop being perfectionist and self-deceptive Struggling and hard-work for achieving aim instead of blaming circumstances Expunging fears by considering their trivialities and irrelevance to cosmos Concentrating the insignificance of troubles and moving on
- 9. Not letting circumstances affect our rationality Widening the area of interests in outer world Undermining purposes that govern our acts to others Letting go of worries by reflecting upon their futility How to conquer happiness?
- 10. Conclusion The choice of happiness and unhappiness depends on our rational thinking. We should skip out minor things and fill our thoughts with interesting things in the cosmos. Everything should be kept in balance and it is possible only if we let it be possible. And we can be happy anywhere at any time. You are the master of your own happiness not the fate.
