What
is Happiness.
Humanity
has given few questions more thought than, "What is happiness?" What
stands between us and an answer to this deceptively complex question is the
problem of subjectivity – happiness means different things to different people.
Through the course of investigation by myriad disciplines among science and the
humanities, it has become clear that happiness means different things to
different fields as well.
To
behaviorists, happiness is a cocktail of emotions we experience when we do
something good or positive. To neurologists, happiness is the experience of a flood
of hormones released in the brain as
a reward for behavior that prolongs survival. According to the tenets of
several major religions, happiness indicates the presence of God.
The greatest place in the world
Mount Roramia
Mount Roraima is a pretty remarkable
place in Portuguese . It is a tabletop mountain with sheer 400 – meter high
cliffs on all sides. There is only one easy way up, on a natural staircase –
like ramp on the Venezuelan side – to get up any other way takes and
experienced rock climber. On the top of mountain it rains almost every day,
washing away most of the nutrients for plants to grow and
creating a unique landscape on the bare
sandstone surface. This also creates some of the highest waterfalls in the
world over sides (Angela falls is located on a similar tabletop mountain some
130 miles away). Though there are only a few marshes on the mountain where
vegetation can grow properly, these contain many species unique to mountain,
including a species of carnivorous pitcher plant.
