The question is not really what the "natural state" for humanity is to be happy, but what would you choose?

Would you rather be happy or productive?



How come Happiness and Productivity have become opposite things. Why there is no happiness in Productivity ?

Can an unhappy person be truly productive, not just doing some thing mechanically and painfully ?


If I had to pick just one, I guess it would be happy. But I choose both. Fortunately for me I am happiest when I am productive, so it works out.


Producing a happiness revolution would be the most productive thing I can imagine and being happy is a good first step.


false dichotomy alert
