I’m not sure I’d say that pursuit of happiness is ever unselfish. When we are least selfish… we are contributing to the happiness to make ourselves feel better. I think it’s admirable that Intellectual Martyr doesn’t like to languish in his own personal selfish happiness. But I think the “global happiness” would be better served if he redirected his efforts toward making others happy rather than punishing himself. I don’t think it’s wrong to be happy. I think it may be wrong to keep that happiness to yourself.
