Is doing what is right the same as being happy?

First of all I think it is important to define what is happy and what is right, the definition of right is “morally good, justified or acceptable” and the definition of happy is “feeling or showing pleasure”. As we can see there are both quit different word but is the action of those words really different?

To start this I think it is not the same thing in some way but it is also a very vaste question so I’m not 100% sure but here is what I think. So when you’re doing what it right you’re concidere as someone good but what is being good? In my opinion for our society doing what is right or being good is just following the rules.

Kind off the same way we can say that a pen is a good pen, the pen is just working the way we want to so we considere it as good. It is the way for us humans, the society have created laws and things that we need to follow, we have created the word right in some kind of ways.

For example stealing, stealing is against the law it is not right, you are a bad person if you do this but who says that? It is really the truth? The society has decided that staling I bad. The society has decided that if you do this you’re not doing what is right.

But when it comes to happiness it is not the same because happiness is not something that the Society has created it is a feeling that us human can feel it is not a creation.

After happiness is usually not something that we all share at the same time. For example if I’m happy during my birthday not everyone in the world I going to be happy at the same time and if they are it will have nothing to do with my birthday. We can of course share happiness for example during a wedding and like I said it is not all of world who share this happiness. In fact being happy can be quit personal and it is a big difference from doing what is right because when we do what is right it is very often things like following the laws.

After is someone find happiness just by doing what is right this is another thing I believe you can find happiness everywhere is just depends on who you are and on what you believe. If for you doing what is right make you happy then good for you you found happiness where some people couldn’t. But at still thing that most of the time doing what is right does not make you especially happy, not that you feel unhappy but more like neutral.
