Frugality and Happiness Are Basic Fundamental Principles of Yasawi Wisdom

There is a deep connection between the meaning of life and the relationship of happiness. Because while a certain meaning of life is a prerequisite for happiness, on the other hand, the pursuit of happiness gives a certain meaning to life itself. Life without meaning is unhappiness for a person and, conversely, a person can feel happiness only if he/she can deeply understand his/her life. The concept of happiness is directly connected with the concept of frugality. The more a man understands thrift, the happier he will be. The main aim of the study is to prove that wastage is man's worst enemy and thrift is his best friend. To achieve this purpose, we will examine in detail the concepts of happiness and thrift in Yasawi philosophy and try to prove that these concepts contribute significantly to the development of society in the right direction. In this connection, the historical study of the concept of happiness in our national consciousness requires a theoretical understanding of how this concept has been interpreted to the present day. This gives the concept of happiness a historical and logical basis that helps us apply it in our practical way of life. After all, traditional culture and worldviews are a powerful factor in nurturing, socialising, educating and influencing the individual. Studying happiness in the traditional Turkic-Kazakh worldview, based on the actualization of medieval ethnic values in the minds of people, we can determine not only the concept of understanding the category of happiness, but also the positive orientation of the worldview. In the study of this work, historical-philosophical, comparative-analytical, hermeneutic methods were used.
