How did you rate in happiness?2.I had a score of 3.9, “Somewhat happy or moderately happy. Satisfied. This is what the 3.average person scores” (Wright, 2009).4.I had a score of 3.9, “Somewhat happy or moderately happy. Satisfied. This is what the 5.average person scores” (Wright, 2009).I scored a 3.7, and that means somewhat happy or moderately happy. Satisfied. This is what the average person scores, (Wright,2020).2.Did you agree or disagree with this score? Why?I totally agree on this score. At the moment in my life, things are sometimes going well and other times they are just not that exciting, which make me want to be angry. All the things I had ever planned to do in life went the opposite way, which makes me unhappy all the time.3.Does this change any of your thoughts about how happy you are? How so?My opinions of myself and my happiness have not changed as a result of this, I believe. I have had a lot of obstacles in my life, right from childhood. I have never had it rosy in life since I was born until now. What I am saying here is my life’s story. I have been suicidal a lot of times, but God really helped me out of it. There was a time I was depressed for months because of the negative events in my life. 4.Did this test make you want to make any changes? If so, how?There are things I want to do with my life, but they are not attainable yet. I love traveling a lot. Infact, it is one of my hobbies. But because of a paucity of funds, I have not been able to achieve this. I like meeting people and making new friends, but something inside of me is pushing me backward. I think it is an inferiority complex. I feel less when I am with people because I believeI have not achieved anything in life and do not have as much money and influence as they do. Another problem I have is that I find it difficult to make decisions. I am working on it, though.5.The textbook describes happiness being divided into 3 elements: the pleasant life, the good life, and the meaningful life. Do you believe that you are missing one of these elements? If so, which one? Why?What I actually lack, in my opinion, is a meaningful life. In fact, both a good life and a meaningful life are missing in my life. I am not thinking about a pleasant life now because I havenot even had a good life once. I feel as though I am living without purpose or clear direction in
life. It is not as if I do not know what I want to do, but I have been pushed to the wall as a result of the economic crisis. My father, who was helping us, died when we were very young, and life turned upside down for us. My passion is to be in government so that I can help my people through a legislative framework. I believe I need to make changes in my life, and those changes have to be quick because time is already running out for me. I am 42 years of age without even a kid of my own. I feel I have missed a lot in life and in destiny. All I need is a head start.Reference Steve, W. (2020). Oxford Happiness Questionnaire.
