RE: Can we be happy doing things we don't want to do?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Well, there are lots of things we don't want to do, but have to in order to live a great life - like exercising. Sometimes we just don't want to do it, but it is actually good for us.
So I guess another answer is that - yeah, we can be happy doing things we don't want to do, provided it has a positive inherent purpose.
What do you think? :)

I think that's one perspective. I've also read about plenty of perfectly healthy people dropping dead of a heart attack for no reason. So in the end they got the stick but no carrot.

Sometimes it's just bad luck I guess.
