You've reached Dick's Guide to HAPPINESS ...
 ... and how to find it.

If you are still searching for the life that will make you happy.  Perhaps you feel a need to understand your life and its purposes, before you can determine what will make your life better.  Many great thinkers -- not just you -- have pondered the same question.  

The question of what is the purpose of life even has a name; ontology. Some of the greatest thinkers have linked happiness to the purpose of life, but they have not agreed on the purpose of life  Plato, for example, felt that this life was an illusion.   What we see, want and believe are based upon our mortal nature, which lacks the perfection to see real truth.  Plato was unafraid to die.  He knew that the end of this mortal life would release his psyche (soul) and he would then be as one with truth. Nietzsche felt the purpose of life was only given meaning by living and doing those things that would make you a better person, now -- including the pursuit of what makes you feel good.  St. Augustine believed we are all born in sin and that, while living, we must seek divine intervention (grace) so that our eternal souls could be happy. But, Augustine, Plato and Nietzsche argue just a few of the views about life's purposes.  They merely represent three points of hundreds of philosophical beliefs that can verge widely.  For the purpose of helping you in your own search for life's meaning, you should understand some of the considerations of past philosophers, like Confucius, Aristotle, Plato, Augustine and Nietzsche.  Each of these links will lead you to simple one page summaries of the life, times and ontology (reason for life) of these past philosophers -- none of whom, like you, had the benefit of looking at the philosophies of all of the others.  None of whom, like you, have a base of free knowledge that spans the world and the centuries.
