a little late due to my paper by hey, I'm really in the zone of philosphical thought now.

Happiness is not the end. I do give Aristotle credit because he proves many valid points like happiness is the final goal in life to reach, but what if you reach happiness and then loose it? If being wealthy is your happiness, what if you loose all your money? This creates a peak of happiness which can occur over and over again. A sick man can get better and be happy but then get sick and not be so happy. I think happiness is determined by a variety of virtues, but none that are necessarily thought up. I think society and our friends and family have a lot to dot with our happiness and what we see will make us happy.
