Greek Idea Of Happiness
The Greeks had many ideas that contributed to the big concept of happiness. One of the many ideas that I learn from Greek philosophies is the idea of Agnostic, From a Greek meaning “unknown” or “unknowable”. This is commonly used to describe a person who does not patiently disbelieve in god but who asserts that nothing about god, including his existence, can be known for a certain. Another concept that compromises the idea of happiness is morality, in other words, depending on your beliefs distinguishing right from wrong.

From my experience morals are also influenced by people you hang around with. Likewise my friend and his family have customs that are different to mine. One of them taking off their shoes after entering their household. My friend told me that they do this as a way of keeping negative energy out. And also that since you walk with your shoes everywhere it’s just sanitary and better to not bring dirt inside the house.
