The Desire to be Happy

In the movie "Pursuit of Happiness", Will Smith talks about how Thomas Jefferson used the word "seeking" in the "Declaration of Independence". "...... I can pursue happiness, but I will never be happy," he continued. For diligence and dedication, you may experience some happiness. While trying to achieve happiness, most people have suffering and frustration; even the idea of ​​what constitutes happiness fluctuates from person to person. Individuals who have resolved can overcome very complicated problems and get enough happiness.

The desire for happiness is not just love for music and desire for health. They are happily included. They are some of the elements that make up the desire for happiness. Happiness is not an abstract concept, it is a concrete whole, and these are a part of it. Utilitarian standards permit and approve their existence.

We are anxious for happiness everyday. We have found happiness everywhere, and finally we said we can not find it. But do we really know what is happiness? No, it is not. Happiness is not the completion of a specific desire, it is the same for all of us as if it were a desire to be simply satisfied. Some people think that they want to get 50,000 mobile phones, but I think that I will be happy if I get a mobile phone, but another person may not get the same mobile phone at the same time. Therefore, the phone is not happy. The question arising from that is "What is happiness?"

Desire for morality and happiness. Kant would say that the behavior of people acting "justly" for the desire for happiness and happiness is "without moral value." In fact, even if he acted properly because he aspires to others' happiness, Kant would say that this person's behavior is not moral. Why did he think so? How do you think epiculus will react to Kant? Evaluate what Kant and Epyclus say. Who do you agree with (if any), and why? What do you think is the right place for the desire for the motive of human moral behavior?
