Happiness is a Virtue

Socrates believed that happiness is a virtue - and that it is teleological, meaning that happiness is "the end." In order to achieve something called "eudemonia," they need to be an overall virtuous person. Without virtue, one cannot Socrates believed that a person needed to be virtuous in several ways. I agree with this theory, though it is difficult to fathom absolute happiness. However, I think that his theory about happiness has something to do with respecting yourself as a person. I would assume that people with good virtues are happy because they are happy with themselves. Obviously, a life of "eudomonia," would be extremely difficult to achieve, but I do believe that it could be.
