Please analyze what happiness is from a philosophical point of view

Confucian Concept of Happiness Confucianism advocates a positive and enterprising life, inwardly cultivating one's character and forming good moral qualities of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom. Outwardly, we must unify the family, rule the country, and pacify the world, seek merit and fame, practice the middle way, not go to extremes, and deal with interpersonal relationships, etc., so that the life is a happy life.　Taoist concept of happiness Taoists advocate quietness and inaction, follow nature, and advocate returning to nature, escaping from the world, and leading a primitive, simple, and free idyllic life. Buddhist concept of happiness Four Noble Truths: Suffering, Setting, Destruction, and the Way There is no happiness to speak of in life, but only the pain of birth, old age, sickness, and death, and the fundamental source of these pains lies in the "love" and "dementia," i.e., people's greed and desire for the Buddha's principles, the Buddha's nature of the ignorance of the Buddha, and the need to get rid of the painful "cycle of birth and death. To get rid of the painful "cycle of birth and death" and to reach the other shore of happiness, i.e., "Nirvana," one can only eliminate greed, love and desire, and practise Buddha-remembrance. From this we can see that the basic teachings of Buddhism are not so much a theory and method about the root of happiness and how to obtain happiness, but rather a theory and method about the root of suffering and how to get rid of it. The Western Rationalist View of Happiness Rationalism is a major tradition in the history of Western thought, represented in ancient times by Socrates, Plato, and the Scottish School, and in modern times by Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and others. Rationalism emphasizes the role of reason, devalues the role of sensibility and emotion, and advocates the suppression of desire in favor of moral perfection or spiritual happiness. They believed that the purpose of life and happiness lay in acting according to the commands of reason, and that sensual enjoyment and pleasure would only taint reason and waste life. There are two rationalist views of happiness: the harmony doctrine represented by Plato and Aristotle, and the asceticism represented by the Cynics and Stoics. Christian Theology's View of Happiness Christian theologians believe that man can achieve happiness not in the enjoyment of wealth, fame, power, and carnal desires, but in religious virtue, in the love and pursuit of God. Only through contemplation and worship of God can one return to heaven and attain true happiness. Thus, in the view of the theologian, earthly life is but a journey towards the heavenly kingdom of God, and virtue is the means to happiness. Therefore, it is only in the monastery, free from earthly temptations and distractions, and in a state of holiness, that happiness can best be attained.　The Interpretation of Happiness in Postmodern Psychology With the continuous socialization of psychology, people have begun to pay attention to the spiritual quality of the era has come, more and more concerned about harmony and happiness, so how exactly is happiness understood? Happiness and exactly how to obtain it? This has become a completely new problem for mankind, exploring people's happiness is the pursuit of people's nature, in the era of the continuous development of the material world, people's vague awareness of perceived happiness is declining, this is a side effect of the change of the times, or is it a path that mankind must go through! As a result, postmodern humanists have come up with some ideas of their own, and they believe that happiness is a feeling, which is not an object nor a culture, and can be intuited to the point of visualization and auralization. Happiness is also a kind of energy flowing in any life, which can be perceived when you quiet your mind. It is not that there is no more happiness in the era of prosperity, but that people have discarded it. Domestic post-modern spiritual teacher Lin Shi Kun once compared happiness in this way: "Happiness has always been there, like the road, happiness is not the terminal, happiness has always been on both sides of the road"! Yes! Happiness itself has always been in our lives, only that we ignore the existence of happiness and only think of that distant goal, thus forgetting happiness on both sides of the road. The key to happiness is that people need to live in the moment and enjoy the moment.
