No, I'm pretty certain that it cannot be an end in itself. Perhaps it lies in how picky one wants to be with the word "happiness"... I'm pretty sure a person would contribute to the world either a) because it makes them *happy* or b) because they believe some divinity expects it of them. You say that striving for happiness is self-centered... it makes me happy to take care of my kids.. to achieve... etc... again, I think it lies in how we define happiness and its pursuit.

Productive and purposeful can't be an end in itself? Okay, how about because being a productive human being is what makes others love us. It is also our contribution to our world. On the other hand, striving for happiness is self-centered and based solely on fleeing emotions and circumstances of which we have little control.

To what end?
-
Couldn't you be happily productive and purposeful? Give me happiness over misery any day.
-
could this imply that happiness and sadness are both illusory?
-
Can someone give me a simplified version of the point. I pretty much get it but I just wanna make sure. thx
