What is pleasure… just a short moment of an useless feeling?

#41860

only if doing so promotes flourishing more than not doing so :^)

Obey the LAW.

#41862

which to be fair it ?usually? does?

#41863

Why care about the good of people/lifeforms in general when you can care exclusively about yourself? Things become much easier that way.

Short or long feeling that We interpritate as positive

#41865

I don’t see happiness as positive tho…
I see “having influence, having an impact on the world” as positive

#41866

By this I mean time it is experienced

#41867

Because … if you had no impact on the world, your life didn’t matter at all. You could have just not existed.

#41868

By happiness I meant longlasting experience of positive emotions

Having influence isnt positive in itself rather feeling/emotion you experience from acknowledging it ofc depending on Person

#41869

I mean, even if you have some impact on the world - it will never last. While happiness is subjective and its your own decision to pursue it or not, I think that the two aren’t necessarily detached or opposite.
You can feel long lasting satisfaction purely because you wield a position of power, or because you are recognized for something. That’s basically ‘happiness’, isn’t it.

#41870

I dont see that matters ofc feeling of impacting something might matter

#41871

By this I mean joy from achievement

#41872

I disagree but your flourishing is still important even though you’re wrong :^)
