5. The experts suggest ways of overcoming bad habits and replacing them with good
habits. Here are six of their suggestions. Which of them would you like to incorporate
into your life? What is your
plan for doing so?
1. Bad habit: Focusing on the negative
Good habit: At the end of each day take the time to think of 3 good things that
happened today.
2. Bad habit: Blaming others for misfortune
Good habit: Practice forgiveness and gratitude for what we already have
3. Bad habit: Feeling stress
Good habit: Focus on breath (four deep breaths), think positive thoughts, say something
positive to
yourself, laugh, smile
4. Bad habit: Focusing too much on being happy
Good habit: Focusing on experiences and relationships instead of money and stuff
5. Bad habit: Feeling envious of others
Good habit: Gratitude journal - three things you are grateful for each day
6. Bad habit: Ignoring or undervaluing the good stuff in the world - Answer -The good
habit I need to implement is at the end of each day take the time to think of 3 good
things that happened today. And the bad habit I need to avoid is undervaluing the
positive things. I think that these kind of go together. I have a bad habit of thinking that a
bad experience equals a bad life. I need to be more mindful of all the positive aspects of
my life. This would help me be more grateful and therefore boost my overall happiness
in life.
.death - Answer -thomas nagel
.Does Socrates address the charges that Meletus makes against him? - Answer -Yes,
he addresses them in his arguments
.How do meaningfulness and value alignment relate to happiness? - Answer -People
who focus more on other worthwhile things are often happier than those that only focus
on happiness. The people who are the happiest are the ones who practice happiness or
just allow happiness to come. Things like gratitude and forgiveness help one make
peace with the past. Another important aspect is that people feel like their life is
meaningful.
.How do naturally happy people treat positive and negative experiences? - Answer -
These people generally treat all of the little positive experiences as bigger ones. For
others, these experiences would not have been focused on or remembered very
intently. But choosing to acknowledge and feel these moments accounts for more
, happiness long term. They would do a similar thing with a negative experience, but they
would regard it as less of a big deal than others.
.How does King define 'enemy'? - Answer -An individual or group who has done
something that hurt or mistreated you or your group.
.How does Kirilov give us the recipe for the absurd victory? Why does Kirilov think that
we are gods? Why does he commit suicide? - Answer -Kirilov claims that we are bound
to this life by fear. To be truly free, we must not be afraid of anything. We must live free
of fear and free of the need for a higher meaning when we know there is none to be
found. He thinks that if you realized that you were free you would live like kings, but
most do not realize that they are free. So, he kills himself to give the people an example
that there is nothing to fear, even death, for the sake of freedom
.How does Nagel's account explain the asymmetry problem? - Answer -The time of
death deprives one of some life, but the time of birth doesn't
You could not have been born earlier and still be you
If we are identified by our history and possibilities, then there is only one possible
beginning for us - but many possible ends
.How does the Buddha see the nature of the world? - Answer -The universe is morally
ordered, but always changing
.How does the sense of absurdity enter our lives according to Nagel? - Answer -The
discrepancy between aspiration and reality that applies to all human beings.
Unavoidable seriousness vs inescapable doubt.
Unavoidable seriousness: We pursue our lives
Inescapable doubt: the ability to step back and question the things we do
.How is Sisyphus's life the model for absurdity? How is Sisyphus's life analogous to
every human's life? - Answer -Sisyphus's punishment is to push a rock up a hill and
watch it roll down the hill forever. This is hopeless and futile. This is an allegory for
human life. We work until we die.
.How should we understand the First Noble Truth? What is suffering? - Answer -Human
lives regularly lack contentment, fulfillment, perfection, and security. Birth, aging, illness,
death, union with what is displeasing, separation from what is pleasing, and not getting
what one wants is all suffering
.How should we understand the Second Noble Truth? What are the causes of suffering?
- Answer -Suffering and distress are due to how we connect various types of desires to
our happiness. We are unhappy because we do not get what we desire and get what
we do not desire
