Is Life Worth Living?

CHAPTER III
30/41

We must discern the highest good that is within the reach of each of us, and this may perhaps supply us with a motive for endeavouring to secure the same blessing for all.

But the matter depends entirely on what this highest good is--on the end to which, given the social health, the social health will be directed.
The real answer to this question can be given, as I have said before, in terms of the individual only.

Social happiness is a mere set of ciphers till the unit of personal happiness is placed before it.

A man's happiness may of course depend on other beings, but still it is none the less contained in himself.

If our greatest delight were to see each other dance the _can-can_, then it might be morality for us all to dance.
