The Best Way to Achieve Happiness

i think the best way to achieve happiness is by seeking pleasure in your life and finding pleasure. I don't think all pleasures are equally good, but there are some that are categorically better than others. listening to bach or beethoven is categoricallybetter than the pleasure you get from sex. eastern philosophers do have this notion of pleasure as being important, but they think that it's sort of like a honey trap. So er, yes, you can pursue pleasure, but in so doing, in the pursuit of pleasure, you set up suffering.
