సంతోషం: కూర్పుల మధ్య తేడాలు

'''సంతోషం''' లేదా '''ఆనందం''' (Happiness) [[మనసు]]లో కలిగే ఒక భావన. ఇది జీవితంలో కలిగిన సంతృప్తికి చిహ్నం. సంతోషానికి కారణాల కొరకు, చాలా రకాల మానసికమైన, మతపరమైన, జీవసంబంధమయిన కోణాలలో విశ్లేషించారు. కానీ సరైన సమాధానం దొరకలేదు.

 

 

Happiness forms a central theme of [[Buddhism|Buddhist teachings]], which focuses on obtaining freedom from [[dukkha|suffering]] by following the [[Eightfold Path]]. In the Buddhist view, ultimate happiness is only achieved by overcoming [[Tanha|craving]] in all forms. [[Aristotle]] saw happiness as "the virtuous activity of the soul in accordance with reason," or the practice of [[virtue]]. In [[Catholicism]], the ultimate end of human existence consists in felicity, or "blessed happiness", described by the 13th-century philosopher-theologian [[Thomas Aquinas]] as a [[Beatific Vision]] of God's essence in the next life.<ref>See [http://www.newadvent.org/summa/200308.htm ''Summa Theologiae''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011133516/http://newadvent.org/summa/200308.htm |date=2007-10-11 }}</ref> One psychological approach, [[positive psychology]], describes happiness as consisting of positive emotions and positive activities.
