people in this thread are obviously struggling with the definition of the word "happiness."

for me, "i wouldn't push the button" is the same as "i would be happier not pushing it," which contradicts the hypothetical.

almost everyone in this thread is saying they prefer to be less happy, because they believe they "value" things other than happiness. in my opinion, "concern for things outside of yourself" is really just a connection between your own happiness and other things.

so, if happiness isn't "the result of the fulfillment of our desires," what is it?
