Adipex Review
There is a very known saying - that goes back to the Ancient times - that states that the people only need, in order to be happy, to have “bread and circus”.
Do you think this still applies today?
Hi, guys! The right term is “Bread and Circuses”, in the plural! Thanx.

noooooooooooooo!!! though food is the basic needs of living… food and fun is not the only thing to be happy!!! what is happiness without love? without companion? ….take the example of those celebrities who have everything but nothing…those gossips pages blah blah blah!!!! even though people who live for food and fun, i bet they sure feels something more is missing and they are longing for it……

This metaphor is still very modern - a lot of us go on in life without understanding - or wanting to understand - that big changes are always done while the people are being entertained by a juicy scandal. By being happy with bread and circus we are helping the rulers to reign they way they want to.
The mankind hasn’t changed that much in just a few thousand years.

The word circus come from the Greek kírkos meaning ring or circle. I believe that the quote still applies today that we need food (that which feeds our bodies and our souls) and ring or circle (that which to belong). When we believe that we belong and feel well fed physically and spiritually we are all pretty satisfied.
(In my humble opinion)

Dear my beloved writer,
Bread and circus could make people being happy
But it depends on how that people eat bread and watch circus.
If he knows how to eat and watch things peacefully
Then he would be happy, and that will be enough.

Yes! i think that a shoe could be ugly, even grotesque as long as it continued to be a shoe, serving as its purpose to protect the feet. But people dont want shoes that only accomplish this purpose. They want beautiful shoes, with models and different colors. Bread & Circus! Eat & Dream. Science & Art. Food to the body & Food to the soul. Man was done to all of that and more.

” Circus now and again never hurt anyone” If you refer to circus specifically as we know it, i disagree! Let’s all condemn the cruel mistreatment of animals in circus! Do you really feel happy when you watch animals in captivity suffer and being forced to do thing against their will and their nature as well?

Dear Paul from Austria, good evening!
..And a lot of music of course…
Love,

We are entertaining ourselves… to death! For me, happiness is simply the absence of pain and a meaningful occupation… the latter assists in achieving the former… a little Circus now and again never hurt anyone…;)
Love & everything in moderation, Paul

Bread and circus.
I was going to say that it’s not enough. But now that I come to think of it…
I think that we need bread and circus now more than ever - contentment, simplicity, inner peace, that tiny place in our soul that is safe and sound that we always revisit. Years ago some things in life were important, but now everything seems to be, and so the really important things have lost their true value. Life has become more complicated only because people have, but why is it that the wisest of men are actually the simplest, the ones that know what life is really about?
People that live by the bread and circus are not necessarily thoughtless oblivious people. They are the ones whose happiness is easily achieved and who see beauty in the simple things around them.
I remember once that my teacher told my class to ‘ marry someone who can make you laugh, because in life you’ll need it.’ And I agree, there is pain in life as it is.
And then there is this certain someone I look up to, who wrote in the preface of one of his books about a monk who was ‘the humblest in the whole monastery, who had never studied the learned books of the time.His parents were simple people, who worked in an old travelling circus (unintended pun), and all they had taught him was to throw balls into the air and juggle with them.’

Vesper de Vil I agree with you on MAGIC!

I think it is be correct, because it’s not objects or status or other material things that make people happy, but what they do. Lately I have realized this.
I only receive top grades, I’m becoming more popular at school, I’m thin, I earn more money…. everything i dreamed about one year ago is happening, but I’m not any happier. I am happy when I hang out with my 3 old best friends, watch a movie and read fantasy books. The top grades doesn’t make me happier, instead, they make me think about the time I wasted studing extra, instead of having fun. I’m not even sure if becoming a successful, super skinny woman is what I want, but earlier I thought “well, I’m not sure about my future, so i guess it wont hurt waste some time to do this”.
When i feel happy, I laugh, talk about silly things, eat really unhealthy food, read novels or listen to some good music no one else like.
I’m happy when I let go of all material things people judge me for.

Yes.
I fact we have Bread and Circus because as I society this is what is it being demanded.
Bread and Circus is the easist way to forget. To forget to think, to forget who we are and what the important thing are.
It is not just a polititians issue, is everywhere. At shools, home, TV, …How many people turns un the TV when they arrive home just for not doing another thing?
