Philosophy: A guide to happiness; Socrates, self-confidence

In my own point of view, I believe that Socrates is right. In an interview with Mr. Andrew Miller, Andrew stated that he felt frustrated but preoccupied when only a few believed that his belief is right while the rest believed he's wrong.

As Socrates said, "We should find ways to build confidence in our own beliefs and not be persuaded by the opinion of others". If you believe in something, you must stand up. Stand up for what you believe in even when others think or say that you're wrong. Socrates couldn't accept that every opinion was equally worth listening to anymore than any part that is equally capable. I'm not saying that I'm siding with Socrates but in some cases, he might just be right. Like for instance, people tend to believe things said by authrority, even without proof, they still think they're right. It is also said in the video that if majority of the population believes it is right, then it will be.

Happiness is not ready made, it comes from your actions so if you believe in yourself, then you shall be happy. Because when it comes to being happy, there is no right or wrong. It's just a battle between your happiness and people's judgment. If you believe that you're right, you have to stand up for yourself.
