Occasionally but inevitably we make wrong assumptions.erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804801409815465776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971033849266349559.post-23348781137631881532019-08-28T02:55:04.146-07:002019-08-28T02:55:04.146-07:00*Why does one *want* happiness?*Why does one *want* happiness?Rohan Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762444131320629043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971033849266349559.post-49062812498772424412019-08-28T02:53:15.136-07:002019-08-28T02:53:15.136-07:00Good write-up.

It is not possible, in my ...Good write-up. But...,<br /><br />It is not possible, in my opinion, to trace back to the end, the cause of some action or event. <br /><br />Take for example, the human consumption story. What is the cause of all the material consumption? (Answers: happiness, comfort, standard of living, etc)<br /><br />Why does one happiness or those other things? (That gives pleasure)<br /><br />Why does one want to do whatever gives them pleasure? (Almost no answers or "because it's good for evolution or human existence")<br /><br />But why does one want to continue evolution or human existence? (No answer) <br /><br />If we ask "why" for long enough, then we find that the link is already broken?Rohan Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762444131320629043noreply@blogger.com
