Chasing happiness in minimizing suffering is the lamest way to live a life.

@tosensei I think that's the best way

Actually, usually people that work toward minimizing suffering are doing that for its own sake, and then happiness comes to them as a side-effect. They're not "chasing" it. Definitely chasing happiness in any way is likely a doomed effort. One should pursue meaning, and in the process you may be happy.

To be fair, to some suffering is happiness.

Suddenly realising how many psychopaths are on here...

@kiki freedom and altruism are not mutually exclusive.

@iiii work for what?

@iiii "strategy"?

@iiii my quotation marks were meant to question why you think altruism is a strategy. because "strategy" implies that you hope to get something out of it. but the very idea of altruism is that you're doing it for others. it's not for you. it's not attached to a "return on investment" or any other bullshit that seems to be drilled into everyone's heads by capitalism now. you just do it cuz it's the right thing to do.

@iiii that answer is the kind of worldview i'm complaining about.

@iiii that's your opinion. i guess we need to just agree to disagree. :)
