1. Text


To be happy is easy if we know:

No.1. Valid Happiness (including valid: love, sense of beauty, symbiosis (conscience, moral encouraging, upholding justice, helping and teaching others as well as vice versa,....) bravery, competition, curiosity,....) must be the feeling of things going a step better for propagation as well as the feeling encouraged to go further towards to our propagation.
(It is confirmation and encouragement for what has been done. It must not last long or there will no progress any further.)

No.2. Well-being is the ongoing feeling of things going well for our propagation.

No.3. Valid Suffering (including valid hate, ugliness, ....) is the feeling of things being harmful to our propagation and calling us for taking measure to prevent or rectify or remedy it.
(It must last long enough for the completion of the remedy --- the origin of wisdom and the cause of evolution)

No.4. Soul (including: inspiration, intuition, personality,....) is the computation results of both our instinct and pre- instinct data-programs in our brain.
(Thinking runs our brain and brain runs the body)

No.5. Life goal is to propagate.
(The origin of all kinds of things in human world)


All these above are our instincts (our ancestors’ successful experiences saved on DNA).
[Book, Ch.1-6 *]

.....

Socrotes's happy pig is to act entirely on instincts. (Instinct No.1-5)
Plato's the truth, the good and the beautiful run on instincts. (Instinct No.1,5)
Confucius' virtue and morality do, too. (Instinct No.1)
Aristotle's activity of soul in accord means the same. (Instinct No.4)
Tal ben Shahar's 6 points for happiness do as well. (Instinct No.1-5)

.....

Babies, children …. instinctively eat, play(learn), …for their propagation in future.
[No.1-5; Book, Ch.1 *]

Being in love is instinctively in the process of carefully matching of the couple’s instinct data-programs (intuition, feeling, soul,…) and their acquired pre-instinct data-programs (knowledge, statuses, accuracy,….) for their propagation.
[No.1-5; Book, Ch.6 *]

A couple of spouses is instinctively one bio-entity integrated spiritually in order to propagate.
(Obviously, the dystaxia of the bio-entity or marriage includes: boredom, bicker, quarrel, ... divorce.)
[No. 1-5; Book, Ch.6 *]

The old instinctively enjoy taking care of their offspring for their propagation.
[No.1-5; Book, Ch.6 *]

.....

Friends are the essential members of our symbiotic group.
Moral, conscience, justice, helping others… are instincts for maintenance of our symbiotic group.
Both are our instincts.
[No.1; Book, Ch.5 *]

Each thing has its own optimal point. Being not up to or going beyond the point is harmful.
For people, the optimal point is 10,000-years-ago norm in most cases.
[Book, Ch.1*]

The optimal point of wealth is not being rich but passably well-to-do. (e.g. Bill Gates after 2008)
[Book, Ch.1*]

Invalid wealth or economy booming is the one that goes beyond its optimal point.
It will hurt our propagation and quickly exhaust the resources of our only planet making disasters to our offspring

The sense of beauty must be the feeling of things being in favor of our propagation.
Or, mankind can not survive long.
[Book, Ch.6,p.136*]

Our health, beauty/handsome, and gamboling long life are based on 10,000-years-ago norm:
Eat and "drink" living cells almost exclusively,
exercise exhaustively each day,
sleep 12 hrs a night,
tense short and relax long.
So, you can be never fat but smart!
Because all these are determined by our instinct lifestyle.
[Book, Ch.1-6 *]
.....

The 10,000-years-ago norm is based on instincts.
The instincts run our thinking.
The thinking runs our brain.
The brain runs our body.
[Book, Ch.1-6 *]

[My book, p.140]

Q98: Does "You are happy if you believe so" meet the 10,000-years-ago norm?

Happy life simply needs instincts:

(1) VALID HAPPINESS (love, sense of beauty, symbiosis (conscience, justice, moral, helping
and teaching others as well as vice versa…) bravery….) must be the feeling of
things being a step better for our propagation.
(2) WELL-BEING is the ongoing feeling of things going well step by step for our propagation.
(3) VALID SUFFERING (hate, ugliness….) must be the feeling of things being harmful to
our propagation and calling us to prevent or rectify or remedy it--- the cause of evolution.
(4) SOUL (including: personality, inspiration, etc.) is the computation results of
both our instinct and pre-instinct data-programs in our brain.
(5) LIFE GOAL is to propagate.

All these above are our instincts (ancestors’ successful experiences saved on DNA).

3. Keep in mind that happiness is mostly dependent on our state of mind,..... (Instinct No.1,3,4 Soul...)
4. Simplify! .... (Instinct No.1 Valid happiness)
5. Remember the mind-body connection. ... Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and
