Albert Camus famously declared: "There is but one truly
serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether
life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental
question of philosophy." But this is imprecise. Rather, it is a
matter not of deciding only whether life is always worth
living, generally, but of judging whether life is ever worth
living or not, whether, even in principle, life can be worth
living at all. Indeed, judging whether life ever can be worth
living, and perhaps even under what abstractly possible or
conceivable conditions of practical implementation, might
even be deemed the most central of all questions.
And hope for life worth living is either vested in the quest
for
honest integrity together with the
pursuit of happiness and functional
relationship, or else

FoolQuest.comis dedicated to the
expressive drive and vital interest of reaching beyond the phony
faint
hearted "low hanging fruit" of online culture, to the non-zero-sum
prospect of creative collaboration simply for it's own joy, and also
to the challenge of substantive, realistic, capable and effective collaboration
on ambitious undertakings.
Standing certain of
all one seeks may only demonstrate failure to imagine better. Technology
exists to aid and empower us all to do more and better together. Alas,
it is the culture gone awry that cares ever less. Indeed, anyone still
so callow and venial as to continue pipe dreaming that all on a whim
and without focus or attachment, perhaps reducible to mediation by the
next inane simple-minded paint-by-numbers webgizmo, we can ever actually
maximize our achievement and satisfaction in cyber-Utopia, has cut costs
but lost valuesand just doesn't get it.

“Attention
is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”
— Simone Weil
Your attention,
please! The challenges and dynamic of human
relationship are
similar despite individual differences, regardless of context and
specifics:
Do you
even know:What kinds of
interaction do you yourself most acutely lack?
And how,
instead, might such fulfilling social interaction best be
consistently achieved and such happy experience sustained?That
is the question!
Happiness comes in meeting ones needs for capable
interaction with responsible others.
Satisfying
interpersonal interaction and connection in order to
successfully resolve
loneliness may very much depend upon
the specific different
choice and change in the very nature
and
deliberate purpose of interpersonal
interactivity.
"Nothing
is more terrible than activity without insight."
—Thomas Carlyle
Trustworthy
reciprocal cooperation elicits unique joy and satisfaction,
as
does proactive creativity.
“The
only truly happy people are children and the creative
minority.”
— Jean Caldwell
Thus our challenge
:
to forge a CREATIVE MINORITY!
Happy
people are sociable, extroverted and
known to reach out, exert effort in
order to actively make things happen, attentively pursue new understandings,
choose creative activities, seek new achievements, and thereby uplift their own thoughts and
emotions, even improving their circumstances by centering
their lives around whatever pleases them most. Activity and
goalsthereof ever put forthmust be varied and novel yet well-suited to personality,
practiced diligently and successfullyin a continuous stream
of fresh positive experiences so as to outweigh
negativity bias. Schedule and routine must
also be flexible in order to avoid getting into a rut.
It turns out that staying in high spirits is a actually hard
work! But then, happy people are
known to place an extremely
high priority upon happiness. A less labor intensive
and demanding individual disposition to happiness might
conceivably operate by natural tendencies for excitation to
negative emotions to deflate more quickly and excitation to
positive emotions to deflate more slowly. But your
mileage may vary!
“Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no
happiness without action.”
— Benjamin Disraeli
--Action, power and
initiative!
Additionally,
in order to get more out of life and give more in return, in
order for gifted, intelligent creative personalities
to
best relate and fully and
richly meet the vital need for communication and
connection in order to overcome
the sad, painful frustration of
boredom
and
loneliness, exactly
such volitional or intentional activity cannot merely be solitary,
but must also constitute social activity or most intensely:
real substantive cooperation and collaboration. After
all, volitional or Intentional activity is often characterized
by contact and recognition between individuals.
As according to
Aristotle, happiness is contingent upon the exercise but
also the communication of the meaningfulvalues
of imagination, free
and personal
choice, together with
self awareness and conscience informed by rationality.
Moreover,
happiness is not merely and actively experienced, but
interactive expression and response, affiliation, shared
enthusiasm and
creative tension. That is why even ongoing strategic discourse in
earnest seeking happiness, can already be involving and
uplifting, if only we find that little wherewithal together.
There are many
senses of the concept of responsibility. When pressed home
the point of his responsibility in his own life, an
irresponsible friend once responded by asking me, reasonably
enough: What does that mean? I answered: It means
that circumstances just will not change or improve, until
you rise to take action. Well, that was sobering for him as well it should be for us all. But bedeviling
even beyond ordinary helpless timidity. real situations
of powerlessness left to ones own devices bereft of adequate resources,
knowledge and strategy,
all
challenge even the most lucid and resolute of dissidents and malcontents,
with burdens of responsibility well beyond the scope of ones
own authority, power and control.
Thus,
character, fortitude and
functionality aside,
the Capability Approach pioneered by Amartya Sen,
of critical analytic examination of the effects of various
social institutions upon the development of capabilities of
people subjected to their authority,
is the idea that individual substantive freedom to lead a
life one has ones own reasons to
value,
is both the primary end objective and the principle means
towards a good life with
autonomy
and respect,
all depending upon accessibility
of whatever needed resources, and will be attainable when
human beings are free
to chosein actual practice and not
merely in theory, indeed really able to get what they have
reasons to consider important to do or to be or become. In
this sense, human development means human flourishing while
poverty is whatever obstructs or undermines aforesaid
capability, any lack of various freedoms people
value
and have reason to do so.
And somewhat
patronizing
rebuttal to
the above argues how simple beings are most abundantly in truest wealth, enjoying
as they do, easier access to simple pleasures because being as they may be, blissfully ignorant and oblivious so
as thereby to indulge in their pleasures unspoiled by other worries.
For who so increaseth knowledge
and wisdom, increaseth vexation, indignation and sorrow. What then,
has forever eroded all such hitherto innocent simplicity
for humankind?
Indeed, a major
complication and suffering unique to human childbirth is the
sheer size of the babies head squeezing through the pregnant
woman's pelvis during labor. Indeed, for the required resources, the
massive human brain demands up to one quarter of the total
cardiac blood output. All because competition for fitness
within our species, drove evolution of the ever larger human
brain far beyond the initial needs and challenges of
environmental adaptation and true peril of survival then eliminated with
human success and comfort, in the process creating new uniquely human
stimulus appetites, all too often underserved and even
repressed as simply inconveniently complex. But as the
saying goes, elation
is a flower that blooms only when you do,
and that is precisely why:
Hence, the best strivings of human civilization, social
interaction, arts and science, at there very best, comprise
social institutions of culture contrived expressly for the alleviation of
lonelyboredom
without natural privation, danger and violence. And so,
happiness, fulfillment, resilient
self-efficacy and optimal well being derive from the challenge
of achievement, eustress,
interest therein sustained through the pursuit by
anticipation, no longer of real safety in any actual
peril, no actual struggle for survival, but instead, of the momentary release from contrasting worry
and frustration following a problem solved, truth revealed, a
new concept grasped, an ideation expressed, a fear resolved and abated
or a desire realized and satiated.
“Reasonable
people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people
attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress,
therefore, depends on unreasonable people.”
—
George Bernard Shaw
All
carrot and
no
stick!
The existential human
condition most particularly as centered about work, is oft times disparagingly compared to the tragic and empty
travails
of the long suffering pack mule, eternally egged on by the
unattainable carrot ever dangled before its nose, and
reluctantly spurred on by the very real sting of the whip stick. How
unreasonably sublime, then, would be howsoever at least relative freedom from all
such harassment, and rich intrinsic
reward always genuinely within reach.
But please, never a carrot actually so fulsomely delicious
as to permanently kill all apatite!
The much
maligned
hedonic treadmillin
pursuit of happiness, may even
illicit anticipatory eustress
rather than distress, only providedongoing, fresh, novel
and active dynamic rather than static goalsever put forth,with the stimulus of new desires and
ambitions ever to exceed those achieved and gratified,
all motivating
growth
and thriving progress from novelty with
difficulties and crucial discontent sufficient to challenge but never so excessive
as to completely frustrate and deadlock.
For exactly such
is the remedy to boredom
amid all too quickly familiar, accustomed and habituated
modern safety and comfort
barring the suffering of violence and danger.
In my own brazen
contempt for purported
power of positive thinking
even merely to the extent of the practice of gratitudes,
of counting one's blessings, I may male allowance for
one exception as regarding
progress at all, indeed, even to the extent only of exchanging bigger problems
for smaller ones, which is really nothing to be whining
about so.
Pain persists
until cause is removed and injury healed. And such is the
appropriateness of grief. Indeed, Zen
or
bio-Utopian cessation strategies
howsoever of
blotting out the pain might be much like unto simply letting the
mercury out from the thermometer when the temperature climbs too high
and then being surprised at succumbing to heat stroke all
the same!
Whereas, much
by contrast, happiness is
transient, impermanent and at best renewable. Happiness
cannot be possessed. Happiness is dynamic, a journey not a
destination, a striving not and achievement. Not just
overbearingly contrived distressfully
alienating punishment and reward systems
of manipulative
materialistic compensatory
sublimation,
but howsoever genuine new positive
events, must always be experienced in order to sustain
happiness.
And that is as it should be. Because the innate
aggressive imperative of pleasure
principle is motivation
to avoid pain and thereby harm even while seeking
gratification, immediate and impulsive or else realistically deferred, and thereby,
ultimately,
advantage. And hope is no less indispensible. Indeed, beyond
maintaining past gains in peace, only by ever and further raised
expectations, the sweetness of temptation fired by ambition, does even the brightest flower of
robust democracy ever rise to improve and exceed sheer
complacent and orderly mediocrity.
[That] people
are dissatisfied with their lot can be seen as a healthy
motive for change. Humanity has historically progressed by
constantly trying to improve its position. As a result
people are better off than ever before. In this sense
unhappiness should be welcomed. It is a sign of ambition and
a drive to progress rather than one of inherent misery. In
contrast, the essentially conservative message of the
happiness gurus is that people should be happy with their
lot.
From here it
should be clear that there is no paradox of prosperity. The
rise of mass affluence is an incredibly positive
development. It has bolstered the quality of people’s lives
enormously. But there never was any guarantee that such
progress would bring happiness. One of the most positive
qualities of human beings is that they often want more than
they have got.
Yet how
ubiquitous endures the typical cynical
Nihilisticheteronymous
perfectionist
Luddite scorn, despair and lamentation all bewailing that
anything good or pleasant is actually bad and painful
because it only brings "affluenza," leaving one
perpetually covetous, envious, dissatisfied and wanting
more. But one might as well similarly curse the oxygen in
the very air we breath, because, likewise, we always need
more to keep breathing, and never finally get enough while
we live. So, obviously,
likewise, the real problem is only in sustaining ongoing
progress, simply because the life needs and support of
anyone or anything that
grows,
likewise continue to
grow.
And the Nihilism
of Zenbio-Utopian
cessation, apathetic or ecstatic, quelling or eradication howsoever of desire, met
or unmet, is a damn foolish purpose defeating solution.
After all,
Nihilism
is
value
destruction, the empty rejection and dearth of exactly that
known best to sustain
interest and determination and to resists jaded habituation,
namely: active
meaningful
involvement. For it has always been
meaningfulvalues
that captivate and sustains the human imagination.
Indeed, whereas
negative emotions may even tend to be insulating, positive
emotions often render us all the more fearful and vulnerable
to loss and disappointment. And in truth, perhaps actually
thus inspired and so ill-considered and then rationalized is
the all too tragic resignation simply to
end all striving and submit, conform and go with the
flow or howsoever just to retreat inward
in search of contentment, never
to engage proactively, risk nor even so much as to hope for happiness
howsoever from the
world outside of the self at all. -Indeed, precisely
because
of the obviously beneficial evolutionary
individually variable responsive
motivating
trait of
intrinsic reactive happiness, of how
increased happiness or decreased unhappiness may ever either
way howsoever arise as expressive of and responsive and
relevant to
actual
and even ongoing
improvement in situation
and circumstances, again, in a word: progress, even
growth,
all not despite but because of never achieving any perfect and permanent
contentment nor any guarantees against
repeated failure and painful frustration otherwise.
Indeed, common
causes of suffering especially for autonomous intelligent people, even
amid howsoever unnaturally sufficient affluence to negate
direct and perilous struggle for survival, relative peace thus making
boredom
even possible,
are
loneliness and
perhaps even more insidious known cause of depression, is
the dull and
meaningless
futility of
suboptimal utilization of labor, also
termed subemployment or underemployment
defined as howsoever such dismally persistent unsatisfying
circumstance, unclear direction, barriers, limited choices and
lack of opportunity, as howsoever fails to exercise, stimulate, challenge and
fulfill, much less cultivate, the full range and extent of ability and potential,
all simply because of whatever available but unwanted
personal resources and abilities howsoever in excess of
currently insufficient demand.
Strategic
perspectives upon the quest for happiness include
descriptive personal narrative accounts and testimonials
as of NihilisticZen
or
bio-Utopian
cessation
and apathetic bliss attained, that oft times seem quite daft, unappealing and
unrealistic to personalities too different to relate, and
perhaps rightly so. Also prescriptive often dogmatic
particular rules or behaviors to be observed and cleaved to,
their chronic failure dismissed as weakness and doubt
reviled as faithless. And cutting edge science engages in
observational field research upon the behavior of happy
people, much as the doings of
successful
entrepreneurs and
others are followed for clues to
success,
likewise, in hopes of precise procedural duplication. Alas,
however, such behavior actually well may be effect rather
than cause; hence going through the motions might achieve
little better than a frustrating and profitless mockery of
contentment unless and except to the extent cause and effect
may actually be reversible as some even claim. In truth,
even in best application of the wisdom of learning from
others, intangibles of unique individual variation in
personality and motivation
still must be fully taken into account.
And even far
short of eudaimonia denoting happiness in the
grandest sense of flourishing in wellbeing most broadly and completely, a
most ancient conundrum of
hedonism, the most general
doctrine of the
value
and intrinsic good of pleasure to begin with, remains salient
today. To wit: Are pleasures events, properties, states, or howsoever
some other kind of entity?
For in current
thinking, despite all
the hoopla, quite frankly,
Positive Psychology is
somewhat
problematical, eclectically recycled and largely uninspired
excepting
one notable inclusion wherein review of the past has actually
born any fruit: indeed, the makeshift application of
Utilitarian Calculus to the quest for reproducible external
causes, circumstances or stimuli precipitating happiness,
that has actually yielded a crude
yet salient
value
calculus, a convergence of the
traditional
three paths to happiness
into the much touted and endearingly succinct
happiness formula,
being something of a misnomer, dealing not with happiness
exactly, but seeking optimization of variable
volitional or
intentional activity
towards vastly underserved true fulfillment,
a Full Life of Authentic Happiness wherein,
taking
any
motivating
emotions as neithermythical endogenous
traits
of disposition being entirely
subjective and Phenomenaland hence howsoever amenable to any sort of
stoical
character building via dishonest
and passiveautosuggestion
(that actually only strives for
detachment in order to stifle
activating motivation), nor merely as
situation
or
wherewithal
as applicable to
howsoever attainable
objectivematerial or economic
needs let alone
joyless workaholismin pursuit all thereof,but
strictly as dynamic individually reactive states variable,
authentic happiness in specific being
an abnormal side effect
resultant only from the dynamic process, more than merely
the sum of individual pleasures, but of pleasurable
engagement in meaningful
activity,
gratifying enough to do for it's own
sake: creativity, curiosity, active intervention
necessary in order to observe and extrapolate hidden logic,
order,
meaning and illumination
even amid seeming chaos, and hence all only thus approachable or
achievable
obliquelyand
indirectly in leading life.
Breaking away from dull
boring
routine, involving engagement, focus and concentration along
a learning curve of skills of capability matched to
challenge, accrues
growth towards clear
goalsever put forth
best guided by ongoing and timely feedback.
where fulfillment
of desireis the measure of happiness
But because,
even for
volitional or
intentional activity,
time as signified by the letter: 't' and as
applicable duration of events and their frequency, is also a
factor, and indeed as lasting happiness is distinguished from
transitory joy, a more precise formulation might be:
In other
words, only whatever artifice if need be, of simultaneous ongoing (pleasure + engagement
+
meaning) can allow for the
happiness of sustainable
gratification in order to produce and sustain fulfillment.
Of course, in case clarification is necessary, yes:
the word
'meaning'
here is employed not in the simple linguistic
signification of denotation,
but distinctly in any deeper sense.
Also, silly misunderstanding
of the
happiness formula has arisen because the law of
diminishing and negative returns inevitably applies. Thus, as
must be expected, increase of any one resource or
value
may
decline in additional benefit or productivity, even
eventually going negative and detrimental, unless the other
necessary resources or values
also increase proportionally. -Particularly with time and
effort,
resulting in fatigue and discontent, unless, just perhaps,
the level of fulfillment
increases proportionally.
Meaning
and by implication, engagement, is most noted for assuaging
not only
boredom
but
loneliness even during
solitude, and solitary pleasure with no one to share it, for
most quickly wearing into
loneliness. But
eventually
meaning
too yearns for communication, for the most passionate
engagement will ever be, of course, with others. Indeed, the
resource of time, man-hours, remains finite to any
single individual, and even the most authentic happiness must then be delegated,
shared, and if the old saying is true, doubled!
Nevertheless, for any individual, active
intrinsic
happiness may ever reach saturation, and the best time to
savor the fruit of satisfying endeavor.
Indeed, success may often depend upon a variety of
activities each with the full support of anyone more
advanced therein,
Dialectic in planning so as
to break up tasks into more manageable parts, and due
recognition of effort.
Employment
sometimes affords a measure of security and stability, but
neither always nor for everyone. -There are many variables. And
alas, to do what you love, the common dilemma of
unsatisfactory alternatives
is either striving in career development, however
torturously and gradually to steer ever more towards your
bliss and away from unwanted drudgery, or else simply to
work for money in order to fund cultivation of what you love
on your own free time.
Don't
make of it an exhausting freelance job you'll
only hate!
Instead,
if only you can enjoy building a business...
Happiness requires
steady progress towards
valuedgoalsever put forth. For success
beyond sheer arbitrary
futility can only denote
the progressive realization of howsoever worthy dreams,
howsoever admirable and
meaningfulgoalsever put forth
and objectives that one can conceivably ever be either
successful or unsuccessful in achieving even by sheer trial
and error. And it often can be argued that uncaring
complacency, inactive dormancy and exhausting dispirited
over zealousness are each and all far deadlier to eventual
success than any past or current failures alone and in of
themselves.
Certainly,
intimidation and anxious uncertainty hold people back from
the pursuit of happiness demanding any sense of power at all
over ones own situation
and circumstances. Indeed, happy and even
successful
people tend to be highly active doing what they
love. Fun and engaging activities
known to increase happiness
tend to involve investment of energy in anything exiting,
novel, social, better still: close, and even meaningful.
Personal
involvement is best cultivated by a good match between
skills and challenges, in whatever median falling
between overqualified
boredom
and under-qualified frlustration.
But involving engagement manifests not only privately and
individually, but also as to render social interaction
lively and fulfilling. And in any culture of
meaningful
involvement, there are five recommended steps to repeat in a
fulfilling cycle of engagement:
1. Thank others in order to build recognition and
appreciation.
2. Invite others in order to demonstrate intentions
eliciting commitments.
3. Ask critical questions in order to draw attention and
long-term focus.
4. Get feedback from activities in order to further engage
associates.
5. Share assessments and open
dialogue.
So,
what manner of empowering close social interaction or
relationship
involves
investment of tangible reciprocal
support
in high activity such as engages novel
excitement, meaningfully?
The

is
actually nothing less than to socialize in tangible
reciprocal
support of creative
volitional or
intentional activity, true lifelong learning and improved gratification for the
highly evolved human social intelligence, by the offer of artistic
culture, meaning: purely creative interaction for it's own
joy, and Entrepreneurship in the broadest sense and application,
meaning: initiative and creative problem solving, whole concrete
planning directed towards any gainful purpose, private and/or
public, and to realistically confront all questions and challenges
of what will be required, each from one another, that as a byproduct
may indeed sustain optimal gratification of the highly evolved
human social intelligence, but principally to nurture whatsoever
optimal qualitative productivity from the conduct of all
such collaborative process and maximize any prospect of
success.
The positive
value
of personal autonomy
enfolds that of self-integration resistant to the
self-alienation and denial of whatever

any of this sound like hard work? Because how could it ever not be?
As should be expected, this website is filled with long wordy and extensively
hyperlinked texts struggling with daunting and complicated problems.
You have been warned!
So, be
prepared to interactively chart your own path through the hypertext
pursuant to whatever your own interests and concerns, by scrolling lengthy
pages, choosing and clicking many links in succession. And while for
many as much goes with out saying or worth much mention as the very
nature of the World Wide Web, for others just such has emerged as a
matter of much staunchly uncooperative fuss and pother.
Moreover,
as regards human interaction, much as creativity may derive from the
broadening and expanding frame of reference of of unusual associations,
nevertheless, communication and exchange of new ideas, which so often
consists of the negotiation of reciprocal incomprehension, will
often depend upon the infinite patience that comes more easily to some
than to others, with the fine points, hair-splitting in order to "connect
the dots" and ferret out whatever true crux of misunderstanding that
only then may be addressed, let alone confronting the vexing central
unanswered questions of this website.
