| Rath said: There are valid reasons for chosing B, though I personally wouldn't. Basically the argument can be made that peoples happiness due to quality of life depends not on absolute quality of life but on relative quality. It's not retarded to choose it. |
What you just said is this:
the reason why B is valid is because some people find happiness only in the despair of others.
I agree that you can be happy with little, but the same people that are happy with little will in no way be less happy with more... if anything they'd give away wealth and find happiness in that action.
However, if you speak of "relative quality" than we're not speaking of these people, we're speaking of people that are unhappy not because of what they don't have, but because of what others have and they don't... basing your happiness on whether or not you are jealous of others...I maintain my position, chosing B is retarded.
(though you are right and this is the reason why people would chose B, I wouldn't qualify it as valid)
(oh and I live in france... a country where 70% of the population delects on critisizing and looking on the other side of the fence to say it's unfaire that the others have something they don't.....)
