There's More to Life Than Being Happy

[Flabbergasted]

3. Thanks for posting kr.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with some of the research in the way it is presented. It lacks a lot if depth, and I think some if the conclusions are debatable. I guess what I mean is the article seems to make this fatalistic connection between meaning and sacrifice whereas this is not necessarily the case at all. Meaning can provide ever greater feelings than mere happiness: joy, love, contentment, peace along with a great deal of happiness. Whereas drive reduction inevitably leads to the need to further drive reduction and the diminished returns.
