    At the moment, I am honestly not sure how to answer that question.

    Adopt values that ensure the two aims (being happy and being a good person) are not mutually exclusive. For me, right now, having the strength to follow through on what I believe is right is all I need to be happy. Everyone has that inside them, and all they need to let it out is to be confident enough in their convictions.

    You need to reach a point where your happiness is not defined by other people. "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony". What that quote means is that you should do what you think is right, and it's okay to take pride in it, and if you do this you will be happy. There is no mention in there of other people. It's all you, you and you.

    Being a good person is more important. Being a good person comes first, because you can't truly be happy when you have the underlying, niggling feeling that the way you are living your life is not right.

  • I dunno, being happy and being an ok person go hand in hand for me.

    I prefer not to overjoy myself. The feeling is just awful when something goes really bad and you're really happy. It's just a let down.

    Drugs only give you a false sense of happiness.

    That depends.

    Can you be happy without hurting innocent people?
    Then yes, happiness comes first.

    I always strive to be as happy as I can possible get. I'm really a quite simple person.

    Some people enjoy being miserable - they also talk about Jesus all the time.

    When I think of being happy and NOT being a decent person (which is what I assumed you meant by being "OK"), I think of people like Bernie Madoff who were quite content to deplete the accounts of many innocent people and live off of their dime, or the other countless CEOs who give themselves raises and fire countless employees to save money.

    I would rather be a decent person. I am fine with being miserable if the only way for my existence to not burden others is to be miserable.

      "I am fine with being miserable if the only way for my existence to not burden others is to be miserable."

      Have you ever actually been in that position?

    Why do you have to make it so hard, OP?! I'll go with happy as it is certainly better than being depressed and I haven't felt super elated in a long ass time.

    Similar to what some of the others say, they kind of go together.
    So if you're happy, then I think you must necessarily be a good or an ok person. I don't think bad people - assholes - are ever happy people.

    So I'll choose "happy" as a buy 1 get 1 free deal. A happy meal, if you will... (ugh).. ><

      I am assuming he means being emotionally neutral or in between.

              On that note, I just witnessed my flat mate, pick his nose, roll his finger tips and continued to play games. It makes me question anything I touch.
