The Degree Of Happiness By Bertrand Russell

  

Bertrand Russell wrote a very interesting article titled 'The Degree Of Happiness'. What I am able to understand as I read it was to show the two type of happiness. According to the article, there are two types of happiness is to put it on one type which is open to any human being and the other one as for only those who can read or write. The happiness that from the one that any human being are open to doesn't have a need to depend upon intellectual sources, nor does it need to be based upon natural law of beliefs or even any of the fads, fashion and creeds that those who are intellectual needs to be happy.

That is one type of happiness that are open to any human being while the another type applied for those who are considered to be intellectual. For this kind of people, according to the author, during his time the scientist or science people were the happiest. It was because most of the science people were emotionally simple and easily satisfied out of their work making them derive easily pleasure from eating or even marrying. This somehow is proven to be the other way around for artiste as they are complex in emotion. That is all of what I am able to understand from this interesting article.
