Greatest Happiness Principle


Throughout nature you will find that all things go to the greatest happiness principle possible.  The greatest happiness principle is the end.  Happiness is where we maximize pleasure and minimize pain.  There is a quality and quantity of pleasure.  For example; the quality of pleasure is reading a book versus watching television.  Certain types of pleasure have more value than the others.  We strive for pleasure that is more worthy or more higher esteemed.  If we have adequate experience we choose one over the other.  The qualities we should choose are in line with intellectual pleasure not bodily pleasure.
