Default Re: The Secret to Happiness...

What is the secret to happiness? Is happiness something that we should strive for? Should happiness be the ultimate goal in life? or is happiness a social construct? Are we wrong to be seeking happiness?
If you could take a pill that would make you happy forever (no side effects) would you take it?

Happiness is a mechanism whereby inbuilt software motivates you to achieve certain aims; Kind of a carrot to get you to do what your psyche ‘thinks is best for you’.

It works relatively well. Using drugs to completely mess up this process is unlikely to be beneficial.
