What is happiness
Gregory 2022-03-24 09:02:31
Happiness is actually a relatively abstract thing, and it is difficult to define it. Rather than saying that Hector is looking for happiness, it is better to say that what he is looking for is the self, or the values of one. I remember that a few years ago during the Spring Festival, CCTV did a very stupid thing, that is, the whole street asked "Are you happy?" What is happiness? A more classic reply is Fan Wei's definition of happiness in "Please Praise Me": "Happiness is when I am hungry, and when someone sees a meat bun in their hand, he is happier than me; A thick padded jacket, he is happier than me; I want to go to a thatched hut, just a pit, you squat there, you are happier than me." I think that cherishing everything in life should be happiness.

Diego Baresco: I bet what I farm makes more people happy than what you dish out.
Hector: I see, farmer. I get it, drugs. Forgive me, but if your happiness causes other people's unhappiness, then how can there be happiness. Doesn't that bother you?
Diego Baresco: [throws him onto the bar for the second time] I don't cause unhappiness, I respond to it, same as you! We both feel the need, but the demand we don't create.
