In an ideal
joy-and-happiness-society
would every person in the world
be joyful and happy?
If so,
in an ideal
joy-and-happiness-society
would every person in the world
have to cooperate with everyone else
to facilitate the joy and happiness
of every person in the world?
If so,
would a world-government
be useful
to organise
cooperation
between every person in the world
to facilitate the joy and happiness
of every person in the world?

The so-called philosopher
Friedrich Nietzche writes:
"Wherever I found a living thing,
there found I Will to Power ...
to the stronger the weaker shall serve".

In an ideal
joy-and-happiness-society
would every person
be compassionate and cooperative
to every other person
instead of domineering and exploitative?
To achieve joy and happiness
in society
must we be
not domineering and exploitative
but compassionate and cooperative?

Is science
about discovering
how an unknown Destiny
is happening?

I asked a vegetarian
“why are you a vegetarian?”
and he said:
In an ideal
joy-and-happiness society
would we foster
empathy, caring and compassion
between all people?
If people are unempathetic, uncaring and uncompassionate
to animals
would people also be
unempathetic, uncaring and uncompassionate
to the human-animal?
Thereby destroying
joy-and-happiness society?
And if so,
should we be
empathetic, caring and compassionate
to all animals?

If farm animals
feel pain and suffering,
should we be empathetic, caring and compassionate
to them too?
And stop slaughtering them!

Can we joyful and happy
alone? And lonely?
If not,
are we social animals
evolved
to live in society with others?
If so,
how do we make our society
a joyful and happy experience
for everyone?

Is self-awareness of
my emotions and thoughts
necessary
to improve my emotions and thoughts
into wisdom
about how to achieve
my joy and happiness?
Carl D'Souza Jul 2019
Is science
useful as information
to develop philosophical-wisdom
about how to achieve
joy and happiness?

For example,
if medical-science says
fatty-cholesterol is bad for health,
is philosophical-wisdom
to eat less fat
to improve health
to optimise joy and happiness?
