I agree. I find the obsession with happiness, and with the idea that happiness is the ultimate goal in life, to be problematic.

- chongli 5y agoHappiness has more than one definition. The common definition refers to people's immediate emotional state: feeling happy. Happiness is also used in many other contexts and can include times of pain, crying, etc. Life satisfaction, flourishing, overall well-being. One example I frequently mention is running. Running can be extremely painful, physically exhausting, and mentally draining. Yet runners will frequently describe their runs using word happiness. Why is that? Because there is more to happiness than just feeling good.
