Saq4: Finalist Theories

1. Which of the finalist theories appeals to you the most?
The most appealing theory for me is John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism because men always want to be happy. I believe that Happiness is the final end of man because most of us are not contented on what we have. We want more good things to happen in our lives, more pleasurable and more desirable one. Happiness brings different things in us. We are eagerly trying to do things, exploring things that make us happy and satisfied. We want to be praise and recognize by man. After all praising and recognizing ones work, your work will give confident and happiness. That will make us high as if were in heaven. If not recognize by others, Proving your worth using your gifts, talents and skills will gives you happiness. Sometimes happiness is merely wrong and bad in other cases because we just do it without thinking. Our reason is we are having fun and it supply happiness. After all it is your life. Drive it wherever you go. Happiness is the ultimate end of men. Hackers hack because of happiness it brings even they will be endangered and it will be in pain if you will be caught. Programmers, who developed computer worms and viruses, publish nude photos and the like. They gain happiness and pleasures from doing these things even it violates the law in the land. You see happiness is the final end of a man. It is not bad to be happy at all times but wrong happiness and discontentment makes you sinful. Well, were talking about happiness not just in computing but in general. Computer users explore things in the Web, hack things that make them happy, sending abusive email or messages, spam, sending worm and viruses, internet hoaxes, publishing nude photos and a lot more. But you see they do all of this things because it brings happiness to them although it’s bad. But these things make them happy and satisfied. If they will not be happy and discontented they will do things to make them happy and contented even it is the wrong one. Sometimes the wrong moves, wrong actions and wrong motives make them happy and contented.
Not all the time we’re happy, not all the time were successful and not all the time were correct. “There is a right time for everything,; a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant; a time to harvest; a time to kill; a time to heal; a time to destroy; a time to rebuild; a time to cry; a time to laugh; a time to grieve; a time to dance; a time for scattering stones; a time for gathering stones; a time to hug; and a time not to hug; a time to find; a time to lose; a time for keeping; a time for throwing away; a time to tear; a time to repair; a time to be quiet; a time to speak up; a time for loving; a time for hating; a time for war and time for peace”.
You see life is full of challenges; it’s a long time process of learning. Find the true happiness because it is the final end of man. And if you found it, treasure it with all your heart.

HAPINESS

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and once chance to do all things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts, it probably hurts the other person too. The happiness of person don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future is based on a forgotten past, you can get along in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.


2.Which do you think seems to predominate in the world of computing as you know it?
Again, my answer is Happiness is the final end of man, John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism. Why? Because human are full of discontentment. They want to achieve greater things. If they are not happy they will find new one, new ideas that will make them happy and makes them more pleasurable. Happiness is the main goal of man. We achieved too many things, waste too many time just to be happy even we suffered from it. Well, a person wants life time happiness but lifetime happiness is very difficult to achieve. I just think I must be contented on what I have now. Unluckily, only few find the true happiness. Maybe lifetime happiness can be achieved by those people who truly seek. Anyway, Life is a full of challenge.
