Heading 1: Was ist unspeakable Freude?
(What is Unspeakable Happiness?)
“Unglaublich glücklich, wie man so etwas sagen kann!?” (Unbelievably happy, but how can one express that?) – Rainer Maria Rilke. Unspeakable happiness is a deep sense of contentment and joy that transcends words. It goes beyond the superficial or fleeting emotions often associated with everyday life. Instead, it’s an inner feeling of deep satisfaction and appreciation for life’s simple pleasures (Selbst 2018).
Heading 2: Beispiele aus dem Leben – Erlebnisberichte von unspeaklicher Freude (Real-life Examples: Experiences of Unspeakable Happiness)
1. Die neue Eltern: “Wenn man das erste Mal ein Kind hält und sieht, wie es sich an ihrem Leib anlüft.” (New parents: “When you hold your baby for the first time and see it breathe on its own.”) Unspeakable happiness can be found in the tiny moments of new parenthood – feeling the warmth of their small hand or hearing their first giggle.
2. Der Erfolg: “Als man den Laufsteg überquert und endlich das Ziel erreicht.” (Success: “Crossing the finish line and reaching the goal.”) The sense of accomplishment and joy that comes with achieving a long-term goal is an example of unspeakable happiness.
3. Die Liebe: “In den Augen der Liebsten zu sehen, wie sie dir ganz zu sich nimmt.” (Love: “Seeing your loved ones look at you with all their hearts.”) The deep connection and unspoken understanding between two people in love is a powerful experience that often transcends words.
Heading 3: Forschung und Versuche – Unspeakable Happiness in der Wissenschaft (Research and Experiments: Unspeakable Happiness in Science)
“Die Glückseligkeit ist keine Selbstbehauptung, sondern eine wissenschaftliche Forschungsaufgabe.” (Happiness is not a self-affirmation, but a scientific research objective.) – Dan Gilbert. Research shows that unspeakable happiness comes from within and is often triggered by small moments (Kaplan 2013). In one study, researchers found that people who focused on the present moment and practiced gratitude reported greater levels of unspeakable happiness (Emmons & McCullough 2003).
Heading 4: Expert Opinions – Psychologen und Forscher über Unspeakable Happiness (Expert Opinions:
Psychologists and Researchers on Unspeakable Happiness)
"Die kleinsten Dinge in Leben können uns am tiefsten glücklich machen." (The smallest things in life can make us the happiest.) – Elizabeth Gilbert. Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Kohls, a psychology professor, explains that unspeakable happiness is often found in the everyday moments that are easy to overlook: "Sie sind die Momente der Vertrautheit und des Wohlergehens, wie das Ansehen eines Schmetterlings, das Essen einer Apfel- oder Bananenobstbaumfrücht, die Zunge auf der Decke liegen, in einem warmten Bett zu schlafen" (They are the moments of familiarity and wellbeing, like watching a butterfly, eating an apple or banana tree fruit, lying on the tongue on the roof to sleep in a warm bed) (Kohls 2017).
