It's true, lifestyle, people, things, success, and money can enhance your happiness, but that's only half the equation. The other half of the equation depends solely on you. I am sure you have heard of people, or perhaps you are one of those people, who have everything money can buy and still aren't happy. Then there are those that are joyous whether they have or don't have things or partners in their life. Why is that? People make a choice to be happy, and it's not just by saying it, it's truly
Happiness is one of many things in life that people want to achieve. No one wants to be sad because it kills everyone’s mood. Instead, being happy is seen as more socially acceptable.

The great Aristotle sticks to his belief that happiness is the main purpose or goal in life. He believes the pursuit of happiness included both physical well being as well as mental well being.

Fundamentally, utilitarianism upholds a standard of maximizing utility, meaning that no one individual’s happiness is to be ranked above the greater good in importance.
