Between knowledge and happiness by Hossam Badrawi
\nOn Valentine’s Day I say:
\nLove is a source of happiness for humans, and whoever does not know love misses the most beautiful feeling and the finest awareness. \u200f
\nBecause I am a man of science, I share with you another aspect of the reason for happiness, which fills the soul with love and the feeling of love. \u200f
\nHappiness is a constant feeling of contentment that makes you a better and more sophisticated person. You see the most beautiful things in people and search for their goodness and virtue. \u200f
\nFor your information, the chemistry of happiness is different from the chemistry of pleasure. \u200f
\nPleasure is linked to an increase in the levels of dopamine and oxytonin and is short-term, while happiness is long-term and linked to the hormone serotonin. \u200f
\nThey are two different situations. \u200f
\nPleasure is sensory, but happiness is emotional, psychological and mental. \u200f
\nPleasure, including sex and the moment of winning or obtaining money, can be part of the larger, more general and more comprehensive happiness, but it is not happiness in itself. \u200f
\nWe can buy pleasure but we cannot buy happiness. Pleasure can turn into addiction, but happiness is a healthy state that makes a person better and sees virtue in others. \u200f
\nThe two differ from joy, which is a temporary happiness of seeing, hearing, or movement that takes a person away from the problems of the day and the annoyances of life. \u200f
\nOxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are often referred to as the \u201chappiness hormones.\u201d
\nWhen you feel attracted to another person, the brain releases dopamine, serotonin levels increase, and oxytocin is produced and this causes a feeling of increased positive emotion.
\nHugging and touching releases oxytocin and makes one feel tender, safe, and happy
\nStudies indicate that oxytocin has a positive effect on social behaviors related to general psychological stability, and the hormone has also shown its ability to reduce levels of stress and anxiety when released in specific areas of the brain.
\nOxytocin may help the body adapt to many different emotional and social situations
\nOxytocin has an impact on the mother-child bond, and mothers with higher levels of the hormone are more likely to engage in affectionate parenting behaviors, and some research suggests that children who receive this type of parenting experience an increase in oxytocin, causing them to seek more contact with their parents. Their mothers, which strengthens their bond even more
\nThe antipodean situation is a continuous state of
\nOn the contrary, stress leads to the secretion of endogenous stress hormones, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol, which leads to metabolic and cardiovascular effects that are beneficial in the short term but completely destructive to the body in the long term.
\nChronic stress turns into global suffering, often caused by a constant state of deprivation and injustice. In the long term, stress turns into illness, depression, and a state of unresponsiveness
\nCome, let us love and open the doors and windows to love and happiness. This is also a human will, and whoever does not search for happiness will not find it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
