KT

I think that is partially what I am getting at -- does personal happiness, as a goal, really deserve a place at the head of the table, or should objective measures of success (e.g. house) have that spot, while personal happiness is relegated to a lesser seat? I'm analogizing to the prioritization of the different goals.

In school I never really thought about this, but now I've been thinking about it more and more.

I'm trying not to take a side on this issue, or present a skewed/biased question, I'm just using TT as a bit of a "philosophical bulletin board" to keep us in touch now that DiD seems to be fading out.

But I do genuinely value feedback.
