“All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end.

This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.12 Feeling”

The answer to this can hardly be in doubt. They strive after happiness; they want to become happy and to remain so. This endeavor has two sides, a positive and a negative aim. It aims, on the one hand, at an absence of pain and displeasure, and, on the other, at the experiencing of strong feelings of pleasure.11”
