A Simple Question
We discussed having questions that could be responded to à la the Metaphysical Club from our reading from last week. I'll take a preliminary try at a question.
The topic of happiness comes up often for some of my less well-read friends. I'm wondering what responses the following questions will elicit from this group.
How good are you at making yourself happy? How important is your happiness (in its various types)? For what would you subjugate your personal happiness (as it is manifested in your environment)? Is happiness a means or an end?

Happiness is the most important thing in my life and is an ends, not a means. I believe that most people do the same and cannot imagine a person who doesn't.

I certainly can imagine people who will claim some "higher" end. But as I think about it, it seems almost irrational to not admit applying such an outlook.
