How to be happy Blog 17
Everyone wants to know how to happy today. You can go to therapists and psychologist that are clinicians, but the author is a scientist psychologist, so she will just tell you why. The author believes that in order to be happy, we must be more like our inner animal or inner ape. To realize that we are what we are, and there are some things we can’t change. We shouldn’t be in denial or ashamed of our needs, but just accept them. Throughout time and evolution, men and women have become very different. In fact, most times men are more similar to the male in a different species than the female in their own species. One thing that separates men and women is their wants. Men are happy working all day achieving the promotion and working their butts of in the rat race. Men won’t be happy dropping out and raising their children. That’s what makes women happy. Men and women won’t be happy trying to act like the opposite. The author proposes killing all the feminists and stop teaching little girls they are inferior to boys and vice versa. The author continues to say live as you want, not as your told.
Well first of all I want to say I completely disagree with the whole men and women are completely different. Year there are differences, but who’s to say that we’re different because we eveolved that way or because since we were born we were told to live that way. I think the author’s argument just goes in a circle, because the way the author wants us to live is still the way we’re being told to live. Basically we’re being told to live both ways, so which way is right? But that’s a different debat. The point the author makes that I ACTUALLY like is that you should live as you want, not as your told. “Live as you feel like, not as you think you should live like. Your feelings are seldom wrong, because you are designed to feel certain way” This can be used to describe Angel’s feelings. He can’t deny who he is, as a vampire, as a protector. This is why he must return to who he is to be happy.

I also disagree with the completely specific things that make men and women happy. I also agree with the fact that people should live as they want, not as theyre told (to an extent). The article seems a tad close minded.
