Abstract :
In ancient Iran culture, happiness was emphasized. The Iranians had found some solutions for removing sadness from their life. For instance, they had established various ceremonies where the young, and, the old, the learned and the unlearned had participated. They might have come through this secret that laughing is a drug for all pains. Although, Islamic Gnosticism has kept some thoughts and customs like the way of living a happy life alive, but sadness has been gradually increased. Krishna Murty, the contemporary Gnostic, says: making people happy is an art which governments should try to achieve. In this article the solutions offers for living a happy life or at least for adapting a balanced state between happiness and sadness are considered.
