As I was going in to get my last paycheck from my retail job, I had the urge to go into the stationery section, that seems to be one of my hobbies, collecting stationery. Every time I collected a paycheck I would go into the stationery section to buy something new to reward myself for having made it another two weeks in retail. From pens to notebooks, to paperclips I seem to have collected a menagerie of different office related items. While looking at the notebooks a prompt book came into my line of sight and instantly enthralled me with the idea of answering questions, 3000 of them to be exact. This book is called "3000 Questions About Me"
The first question in the book being: What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Now first I am going to define idea, perfect and happiness as according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Idea: Option 1: a formulated thought or opinion Option 2: whatever is known or supposed about something Option 3: the central meaning or chief end of a particular action or situation
Perfect: Option 1a: being entirely without fault or defect Option 1b: satisfying all requirements Option 1c: corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept Option 1d: faithfully reproducing the original Option 1e: legally valid
Happiness: Option 1a: a state of well-being and contentment Option 1b: a pleasurable or satisfying experience
Since the definitions have been taken care of it is my time to answer based on the knowledge that I have gained.
My idea of perfect happiness, based on my experiences, is to have the necessities to live, a strong network of people to support me, and to be at a spot in my life where I can truly enjoy all the things the world has to offer. Necessities for one person can be different from another my necessities include food, water, and shelter while for you this may be different, it also depends on how people define their words as language is ever changing and ever evolving from day to day. My ideal strong network of people are people that have experienced more than me, know more than me, and are still willing to grow and realize that being kind may be more important than being right, I want to not only be taught by these people, I also want to teach them from my own experiences. Then being at a spot in my life where I can truly enjoy all the world has to offer, I still don't know what this will look like as I am still growing and changing and haven't found my ideal for this yet, I just know that I want to be able to give back to the community that raised me and made me who I am today and to utilize the skills that I have learned to make the world a better place just a little at a time.
I want to know what is your idea of perfect happiness?
