Examples from fiction

1. L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace" .

In the novel L.N. Tolstoy raises many moral problems, including the possibility of real happiness in modern Russia for the writer. One of the main characters of the novel, Pierre Bezukhov, has been searching for happiness for a long time. The moment came when Pierre became disillusioned with the orders and foundations of secular society and the life familiar to him. He began to try to figure out what could be classified as good deeds and what could be considered bad. His search for answers led him to the Masonic lodge, where he forgot about his past life: social events, an insidious wife, vile friends. But, over time, Pierre becomes disillusioned with Freemasonry and continues to search for his happiness, for this he returns to the society he left behind. Nothing has changed in these people, but Pierre himself has changed, and therefore the attitude towards what is happening has become completely different. There was no happiness here, as before, and Pierre went to look for it in the war with the French. The army did not bring the desired spiritual satisfaction, but on the contrary became a burden to the hero. Returning to Moscow, Pierre was captured, and this event became key in his life. It was here that he had plenty of time to think, and the long-awaited answer that interested the hero of the novel was found. He finally understood what the meaning of life was. The changed way of thinking helped Pierre Bezukhov achieve his true happiness, which lay in family life with Natasha Rostova. The family turned out to be the main calling and outlet of the central character of the epic novel L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace".

1. ON THE. Nekrasov “Who Lives Well in Rus'” .

The main problem of the poem “Who Lives Well in Rus'” is to find an answer to the question, what is happiness? The main character of the work is a people represented by seven Russian men who are trying to find a happy person in order to ask him what happiness is. Having gone to those whom they themselves considered happy, the men are disappointed, because the landowner, official and priest cannot find happiness in the living conditions in which they find themselves. It turns out that being happy is an unattainable concept for them.

ON THE. Nekrasov was always on the side of the common people and considered himself their representative, so the truly happy ones in his poem are the common people.

Grigory Dobrosklonov grew up in a very poor family, familiar firsthand with hunger and poverty, so he did not want to repeat the fate of his ancestors and decided to fight for the rights of the people. Happiness for Gregory lay precisely in this struggle for the well-being and prosperity of the lower strata of society in 19th century Russia. He dreamed of change and acted according to the call of his heart, and therefore he was a happy man.

In the poem “Who Lives Well in Rus',” happiness turns out to be achievable only for ordinary people. For Matryona Timofeevna, it lies in a good husband and family peace, for Savely, the hero of the Holy Russian, in his truth and freedom of spirit. The soldier the peasants met believed that happiness was staying alive after a battle, and the peasants were happy from a good harvest.

ON THE. Nekrasov showed that everyone has their own happiness, and it does not at all depend on money and position in society.

1. A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" .

A.S. Pushkin shows the understanding of happiness by his contemporaries, who made this concept synonymous with wealth and influence. Young people of that time associated happiness with their position in society, with respect and honor from the people around them. Evgeny Onegin is a typical representative of a happy member of secular society. He behaves freely and is disdainful of other people's opinions; happiness for Onegin is to be in the center of attention and to be appreciated. At first glance, it really seems that he got everything he wanted from life: a good home, servants, attractive appearance, the attention of women and the respect of men. A happy life for Onegin consists of a continuous series of events - a walk, a dinner reception, a dinner party, a theater, a ball. That is why he is so unhappy and sad in the village, his existence has lost its color, it was boring and uninteresting there. Only at the end of the novel does the main character realize that his understanding of happiness is wrong.

1. L.N. Tolstoy "Anna Karenina" .

An example of a truly happy person in the novel by L.N. Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" is Konstantin Levin. He lives in a village, manages a large farm, which requires a lot of work and skillful management. The family estate was the whole world for Levin; he was proud of his origins and the true aristocracy of his ancestors. He accepted life as it was, and saw the guarantee of his happiness in existing close to nature and communicating with ordinary people.

Levin became happy after marrying Kitty; their family life was calm and prosperous. For complete happiness, the village landowner lacked peace of mind and prosperity of his native state, but he strived for this all his life.

1. Folk tales.

Folk tales are one of the most ancient types of oral folk art of all peoples. Fairy tales carry folk wisdom, reflect the national worldview and traditional characteristics. It is the search for happiness that sends the heroes of fairy tales on long journeys full of trials and dangers. Various temptations and temptations lie in wait for their path; only those who can persevere steadfastly deserve to be happy.

In the fairy tale “The Frog Princess,” to find happiness, Ivan only needed to listen to his wise wife and be patient a little. Having failed the test, the prince lost his happiness and went in search of it again, but along a difficult path. Many obstacles arose on the path of Ivan Tsarevich, which he had to overcome in order to be happy. And the fairy tale “The Fast Messenger” tells that a selfless person will definitely be happy. In gratitude for the fact that the three brothers built a bridge across the swamp, the miracle workers decided to fulfill their wishes. The older brother wanted wealth, the middle brother wanted “bread for a lifetime,” and the younger brother asked to become a soldier. The elders tried for a long time to dissuade Semyon from such a desire, but he firmly stood his ground. He was not afraid of the hardships of military service and the fear of death on the battlefield. As a result, after many difficult trials, he married the royal daughter and became the heir to the throne. In folk tales, happiness is always on the side of kind and patient people; if a person’s soul is pure, he will definitely be happy.

Examples from life

1. My aunt had everything in life that one could wish for - a well-paid job, a large, well-equipped house, good health. But her personal life did not work out and she had no children. At first, this didn’t bother her much; there was no time to be bored: work, friends, travel, interests. However, with age, each person rethinks his life and comes to the understanding that there is nothing more important than family. When the aunt realized that the time had come to act, it was already too late. Doctors made an inexorable diagnosis - infertility. No matter how much she treated, no matter how hard she tried, the result was the same. Just when she had to resign herself from despair, fate arranged for her to meet a man. He was much older than her, but this couple was meant for each other. A year later, a miracle happened and my aunt became pregnant. Having asked her what happiness is, I received a clear answer: “Happiness is our children, in them we find a continuation of ourselves.”
2. One morning, the whole life changed for the residents of Donetsk. On May 26, 2014, people, while at work, studying, or walking with children in the park, heard the loud roar of fighter jets cutting through the sky over the city center. At the same time, military helicopters began shelling the airport and nearby houses. After this day, the Donetsk people’s nightmare has lasted for six years. People are accustomed to living in war conditions, they work, study, get married, give birth to children, but life stops with the onset of the curfew and instead of planes, only shells fly across the sky of Donetsk. It is very scary to live without knowing what awaits you tomorrow, which house will suffer from the next shelling. Therefore, for these people, happiness lies in peace and confidence in the future. It turns out that you don't need much in life. I would like for the word “hail” to make me think only about pieces of ice falling from the sky, and not to make my heart clench in horror, dreaming of silence.

Essay The Problem of Happiness

Today everyone wants to be happy. But what is happiness? Where is its source? And what does it mean to be happy? The author raises these questions in this text.

In his work L.E. Badashev writes: “...Happiness is entirely a gift of fate, the result of luck, a random gift. ...Happiness depends entirely on the person...” These two contradictory descriptions of a wonderful state merge into one concept: “it is both the result of luck and the result of struggle-labor.” The author also says that “happiness is a purely individual category.” For people, this feeling comes in different forms.

The author believes that only a person himself is able to understand what “happiness” means for him, and only he himself can make himself happy. As they say, “man is the smith of his own happiness.” But sometimes, having happiness, people do not notice it.

I agree with the writer's opinion. Only we understand what it means for us to be happy.

Happiness is always different, different for everyone, but everyone has the same desire to find it. Sometimes you need to rely only on yourself, and not on luck, and make yourself happy.

In the works of many poets and writers one can find discussions about happiness. For example, Eduard Asadov’s poem “What is happiness?” It shows how happiness can be different:

“And happiness, in my opinion, is simply

Comes in different heights:

From the hummock to Kazbek,

Depending on the person!”

Gabriel Mucillo's film "The Pursuit of Happiness" also addresses the issue of happiness. The main character is a single father. While raising his son, he tries his best to do everything to be happy. Chris and his son spend the night in flophouses, sleeping in a subway toilet and in a church shelter. But the hero fights for his place in life. He gets a prestigious job and opens his own company. Chris made happiness with his own hands. Are you enrolling in 2021?

Aphorisms

1. “Happiness is achieved by those who try to make others happy and are able to forget about themselves and their interests, at least for a while.” Famous academician D.S. Likhachev believed that happiness comes only to those who think about the well-being of others. Egoists, in his opinion, never become truly happy.
2. “We are not always strong enough to survive someone else’s happiness.” Alexandre Dumas spoke about one of the most terrible vices - envy. A person can be there for you in difficult times, it’s not difficult. But to be sincerely happy for a loved one and to experience their happiness is no longer for everyone.
3. “The only happiness in life is striving forward.” French writer Emile Zola believed that true happiness lies in achieving your goals. As long as a person strives forward, he lives, this is the only way to feel happy.
4. “It is not physical strength or money that makes a person truly happy, but righteousness and all-round wisdom.” The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus believed that true happiness lies in truth and wisdom, everything else is false values.
5. “You are not happy or unhappy because of what you have, or because of who you are, where you are, or what you do. Your condition is determined only by what you think about it all.” American educator Dale Carnegie argued that happiness is in our heads. It doesn’t matter what happens in a person’s life, the only thing that matters is what he thinks about it all.
6. “One of the strangest human delusions is the delusion that happiness lies in doing nothing.” L.N. Tolstoy was skeptical about people whose happiness lies in rest. Rest can be short-lived, the rest is hopeless laziness for a writer. True happiness is striving forward.
7. “Happiness is like health – when it’s there, you don’t notice it.” M.A. Bulgakov compared happiness to human health; the only thing that worries us is its absence. When there is no happiness, a person is sad and sad, so he thinks that he would like to be happy. When happiness comes, a person has no time to think about anything, he simply enjoys the moment.
8. “When a person is happy, he is always kind, but when he is kind, he is not always happy.” English writer O. Wilde said that happiness awakens the best qualities in a person’s soul. Therefore, a happy person is always kind to others. But there are many kind people in the world, they do good around them all the time, regardless of their inner state.
9. “They say that misfortune is a good school - maybe. But happiness is the best university. It completes the education of a soul capable of good and beautiful things.” A.S. Pushkin did not agree with the opinion that misfortunes are the best life lessons. In his opinion, happiness can teach a person much more than grief and troubles.
10. “There is no happiness in comfort, happiness is acquired through suffering.” F.M. Dostoevsky believed that a person can become happy only by learning the price of suffering. Having experienced grief, he will learn to appreciate joy.

Essay Arguments on the problem of happiness. Who is a happy person?

What kind of person can be called happy? What is happiness? What does this concept mean for each of us? Is it important to “see and hear” other people? An excerpt from the text of the great Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is devoted precisely to this problem. The problem that the author raises is certainly relevant at all times.

In my opinion, the question the author asks is relevant at all times. Indeed, people who have found their happiness and no longer need anything.

Let's try to prove our point of view based on works of Russian literature. Inattention to other people can ultimately make us unhappy.

Thus, in the novel “Eugene Onegin” by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, the main character lives thinking only about himself. For Evgeny, only his current feelings are important; he does not take into account the feelings of others. Onegin, having received a letter from Tatyana Larina, does not accept the girl’s love. He rejects Tatiana, not caring about the heartache he might cause her. After some time, Onegin realizes that he loves Tatiana. He writes her a letter, but receives an answer that she cannot be with him. The hero can never be happy again because his heart is broken.

Helping other people brings a feeling of happiness. In Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy's War and Peace, Natasha Rostova helps wounded soldiers who have just been brought from the battlefield.

The heroine herself seems to feel the pain that the wounded experience. She works day and night. For her, every life saved is happiness.

Let's take, for example, the work of N. Nekrasov “Who Lives Well in Rus'.” The peasants are trying to find out in a dispute who is truly happy on Earth. It turns out that this is Grisha Dobrosklonov, who sees his happiness in the happiness of the people.

Let's look at history. Let's remember the greatest intelligence officer of the Great Patriotic War - Nikolai Kuznetsov. he died young, but he did a lot for our country. In his suicide letter to his brother, Nikolai Kuznetsov writes that for him happiness is to give his life for his Motherland and die with dignity.

When discussing this topic, it is impossible to say what happiness is and what kind of person can be called happy. After all, happiness is different for everyone. For some, just gooseberries are enough to be happy.

Yes, only by being attentive to other people, helping them in difficult moments of their lives, can we find true happiness.
