the degree of happiness

I find this article written by Betard Russell very interesting. by reading the article, i am able to understand what Russell is trying to convey which is happiness has two different side.the two sort of happiness is one that is open to any human being and the other one is specifically only for those who can read or write.The happiness that is for any human being means that one does not depend on intellectual source or even need to be based natural law beliefs or any of the fad, fashion and creeds that these who are intellectual need in order tho be happy.In other words, one does not need to be intelligent to be happy. I can see this in many people in the world especially the indigenous tribe of the world.They do not have the knowhow to create advance technology but there are still happy with their traditional way of life.

The other type of happiness if based on intelligence as the road to happiness.According the Russell, these people during 1872, the scientist or people of science were happier compare to artist.The reason for this is that people of science are emotionally simple and are satisfy with their work so they can derive pleasure from eating and even marrying.when i think about it it still make sense as in the modern world, those who have high education and are intellectual are usually more happy due to their wealth and success.But in Russell's time, artist have more complex emotional.Therefore it is harder for them to find pleasure in their work.
